$PCAR Heads up alert! Upcoming earnings on Tuesday, 4/29/2025 for
$PCAR Bearish (2.5)
In the current landscape, Paccar (PCAR) is facing significant headwinds, as reflected in its recent stock performance and broader market analyses.
The stock has exhibited a disappointing trend over the past six months, with a notable 19.9% decline compared to the S&P 500's decrease of 10%.
This underperformance can be attributed to several factors, including soft quarterly results and increasing uncertainty surrounding tariffs on heavy-duty trucks.
The current P/E ratio for Paccar stands at approximately 14.5, which is slightly above the industry average of 13.8, indicating that while the stock may be overvalued relative to its peers, it still reflects some level of investor confidence.
Furthermore, EPS growth projections have been revised downward, with analysts estimating a decline in earnings for the upcoming quarter, which further compounds the bearish outlook.
Revenue forecasts suggest stagnation, particularly given the recent cuts in commercial vehicle estimates by analysts at Citi, citing tariff uncertainties as a major risk to future demand.

Regarding upcoming earnings reports, expectations are muted, as analysts anticipate Paccar will report a decline in earnings per share compared to prior quarters.
Historically, Paccar has had a mixed performance in earnings releases, with some quarters exceeding estimates while others have fallen short.
The consensus estimate for the upcoming earnings report indicates an EPS of
$1.05, down from
$1.30 in the previous quarter.
This decline reflects broader market conditions and company-specific challenges, particularly in demand forecasting amidst policy and tariff uncertainties.
Analysts are closely monitoring these developments, as any significant deviation from expectations could have pronounced effects on the stock's performance in the near term.
The potential impact of the earnings report is compounded by the prevailing sentiment in the market, which is currently leaning towards caution with respect to Paccar's stock.
