Quality

74

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 74 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

45

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 45 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

64

of 100 · stored research reading

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

GATX Corporation ("GATX," the "Company," "we," "us," "our," and similar terms), a New York corporation founded in 1898, is a leading global railcar lessor, owning fleets in North America, Europe, and India. In addition, through GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"), our wholly owned aircraft spare engine leasing business, and our joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively "Rolls-Royce"), we own one of the largest aircraft spare engine lease portfolios in the world. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Engine Leasing. Financial results for our tank container leasing business ("Trifleet") are reported in the Other segment.

On May 29, 2025, GATX entered into a definitive agreement to acquire railcars from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") through a newly formed joint venture ("GABX" or the "GABX joint venture") with Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners (collectively, "Brookfield"). The transaction formally closed on January 1, 2026 and consisted of approximately 101,000 railcars for approximately $4.2 billion. Initially, GATX's ownership share of GABX is 30% , with Brookfield's share at 70% . GATX will have the option to acquire up to 100% of GABX's equity over time. GATX also agreed to directly purchase approximately 200 locomotives from Wells Fargo for approximately $30.4 million , and Brookfield agreed to directly acquire Wells Fargo’s rail finance lease portfolio. GATX will serve as manager of the railcars in GABX as well as the finance lease portfolio directly owned by Brookfield. In anticipation of the closing of the transaction, on December 31, 2025, GATX contributed equity of $385.3 million to GABX, Brookfield contributed equity of $899.0 million to GABX, and GABX executed a $2.96 billion term loan to fund the acquisition. GATX has guaranteed GABX's debt financing obligations. During 2025, GABX entered into deal contingent interest rate swaps in order to hedge the exposure on its anticipated debt financing. As of December 31, 2025, GABX is consolidated and is reported in the Rail North America segment, and its operations will be reflected within that segment for reporting periods after the closing of the transaction. See "Note 26. Subsequent Events" in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.

In the fourth quarter of 2025 , GATX Rail Europe acquired 5,882 railcars from DB Cargo AG.

The following description of our business should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
