PACCAR (PCAR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
PACCAR (PCAR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PACCAR, a leading manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, is forecasting a growth rate of 4–6% for the third quarter, driven by investments in capacity and services, as well as an increase in shipping days across Europe. The company reported parts sales of $1.721 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 3.4% despite a challenging market, indicating resilience and demand strength in its parts segment. Furthermore, PACCAR remains optimistic about demand growth as regulatory policies become clearer and the truckload market shows signs of recovery, contributing to a positive outlook for future performance.
Bears say
PACCAR's operating margin has significantly decreased to 10.3%, a reduction of 460 basis points compared to the previous year, indicating deteriorating profitability. Additionally, new truck deliveries in the second quarter of 2025 fell by 18.8% to 39,300 units, despite surpassing management's expectations, suggesting weakening demand in the truck manufacturing segment. Furthermore, expectations for third-quarter truck deliveries anticipate a further decline to 32,000-33,000 units, which reflects a troubling alignment of production with market conditions and seasonal factors impacting operations in Europe.
