Westport Fuel Systems ( (TSE:WPRT) ) has shared an update.

On May 14, 2026, Westport reported its first-quarter 2026 results, highlighting strong operational momentum at Cespira even as consolidated revenues fell after the planned end of a transitional service agreement. Cespira’s revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 rose 33% year over year, driven largely by LNG HPDI truck demand and a second OEM truck trial, while Westport’s own High-Pressure Controls segment grew 21% on higher engineering service revenues.

Despite these gains, Westport’s consolidated revenue declined 69% to $2.3 million and its net loss from continuing operations widened slightly to $5.7 million, reflecting the shift away from transitional heavy-duty OEM sales and the inclusion of no discontinued operations income versus the prior year. Management emphasized favorable LNG market dynamics in Europe, expanding LNG and CNG infrastructure, and strong interest at the ACT Expo in its high-pressure CNG storage platform, positioning the company and its Cespira venture to capture long-term growth in the heavy-duty decarbonization market while gradually reducing reliance on partner funding.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WPRT) stock is a Buy with a C$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Westport Fuel Systems stock, see the TSE:WPRT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on WPRT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WPRT is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (ongoing losses, negative free cash flow, and a sharp revenue decline). The latest earnings call adds some support due to improved liquidity/deleveraging and a stated 2026 margin/volume recovery plan, while technicals and valuation remain neutral-to-negative given mixed momentum and loss-making fundamentals.
