LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. , Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE:GBX) announced today it will be reporting its Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 results after market on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

Headwinds, including inflation, tariff-related tensions, and lingering supply-chain disruptions, hurt the Zacks Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry. WAB, R and GBX are likely to stand out.

Here we pick three stocks, GBX, R and AL, from the Transportation - Equipment and Leasing industry, with a solid five-year dividend growth history.

Low price-to-sales stocks -- PDS, GBX, GDOT, MOS and PAGS -- show strong fundamentals and value potential for investors seeking upside returns.

GATX stands out among railcar lessors for its superior profitability, steady earnings growth, and strong share price performance over the past decade. Trinity and Greenbrier offer higher dividend yields, but their total returns and earnings prospects lag behind GATX's. Valuation metrics and intrinsic value models suggest Greenbrier is cheap, but GATX's financial strength and growth outlook make it the better investment.

POST, PAGP, GBX, PKX and SBH stand out with low EV-to-EBITDA ratios and strong earnings growth forecasts.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.

GBX shines on strong efficiency, upward estimate revisions and shareholder-friendly moves as shares outpace industry gains.

Investors looking for stocks in the Transportation - Equipment and Leasing sector might want to consider either Greenbrier Companies (GBX) or Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (WAB). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now?

JHG, GBX, PDS, MOS, and PAGS boast low price-to-sales ratios, meeting strict value screens for strong upside potential.
