PACCAR (PCAR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PACCAR demonstrates a strong financial outlook, expecting business growth in the range of 4–6% for the third quarter, driven by investments in capacity and services, as well as increased shipping days in Europe. The company has introduced a projected FY2026 outlook, with North American Class 8 industry retail sales anticipated to increase by 5% year-over-year, indicating robust demand in the North American market. Additionally, PACCAR continues to excel in its parts business, with sales reaching $1.725 billion, marking a year-over-year increase of 4%, which highlights the company's resilience and the potential for further margin improvement.
Bears say
PACCAR's operating margins have experienced a significant decline, with a drop of 490 basis points in one reported period to 8.3%, indicating a deterioration in profitability. Additionally, the company's new truck deliveries fell sharply by 18.8% in 2Q’25, totaling 39,300 units, and are projected to decrease further to 32–33K in the third quarter, reflecting a contraction in demand amidst normal seasonal trends and market adjustments. This overall downturn in both deliveries and margins presents a concerning outlook for PACCAR's future performance in a highly competitive sector.
