Westport Fuel Systems ( (TSE:WPRT) ) just unveiled an update.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Westport Fuel Systems reported improved performance from its Cespira joint venture with Volvo Group, as Cespira’s revenue rose 33% year-on-year and its net loss narrowed, allowing Westport to cut capital contributions from $4.7 million to $2.9 million. The company also saw a 21% revenue increase in its High-Pressure & Controls segment in the quarter, underscoring growing demand for its alternative-fuel components.

On March 17, 2026, Westport suffered a cybersecurity incident that disrupted internal IT systems and delayed year-end financial filings, prompting a temporary management cease trade order by the British Columbia Securities Commission on April 1, 2026, which has since been lifted after all filings were completed. Management’s subsequent review concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were not deficient, and between May 4 and 7, 2026, Westport continued to promote its market position by showcasing its high-pressure CNG fuel system for North American heavy-duty fleets at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas.

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.
