The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (GBX)

Railcar plants, half in Mexico. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending August 31, 2025, filed October 28, 2025. Ranked 163 of the 175 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

Greenbrier states approximately 11,000 employees at August 31, 2025, about half in Mexico and 5,400 represented by unions, building railcars with maintenance and leasing businesses described but not counted, so the plants take most of the workforce and the repair shops the rest by description (c).

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 15% now, 26% at the end of 2027, 31% at the end of 2028, 33% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 33% desk work, 14% people work and 53% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 65% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 28% becomes checking a model's work and 4% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
