PACCAR (PCAR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PACCAR's robust market position is underscored by its 30% share of the Class 8 market in North America and 15% in Europe's heavy-duty segment, positioning it favorably for continued growth. The company anticipates a 4-6% growth in sales for the third quarter, driven by strategic investments in capacity and services, along with a strong performance in its parts business, which experienced a year-over-year increase of 4% to $1.725 billion. Looking ahead, PACCAR projects a 5% year-over-year increase in Class 8 industry retail sales for FY2026, indicating a positive outlook amidst improving margin performance and potential market share expansion.
Bears say
PACCAR's recent financial performance indicates a troubling trend, with operating margins experiencing significant declines of 490 basis points from the previous year, signifying potential challenges in cost management and profitability. New truck deliveries have also faced a considerable decrease of 18.8% in the second quarter of 2025, with expectations for further sequential declines to 32,000-33,000 units in the upcoming third quarter, reflecting weakened demand. Additionally, the regional breakdown reveals a stark 34% drop in North American deliveries and a remarkable 48% decline in South America and Other markets, which raises concerns about market share and overall sales sustainability.
