PACCAR Inc. (US6937181088) is holding after the company reported second-quarter EPS of $1.43 on July 28, 2026, above the $1.36 consensus, alongside $7.55 billion in revenue. The shares opened at $125.34 on August 31, 2026, while a recent market snapshot put the market cap at $65.97 billion.
Second-quarter numbers still matter
The latest quarter gives investors a clean reference point: revenue rose to $7.55 billion from $7.05 billion expected, and EPS beat estimates by $0.07. Net margin came in at 9.00%, and return on equity was 12.73% in the same report.
That mix leaves valuation and earnings power side by side. PACCAR trades on a 26.33 times earnings multiple in the same snapshot, while the 1-year range spans $92.25 to $139.24.
Analysts remain cautious
Analyst coverage in a recent market summary still centered on a Hold stance, with a consensus price target of $131.70. The same report said two analysts rate the shares Buy and eleven rate them Hold, a sign that the earnings beat has not yet shifted the broader view.
For context, one recent update also cited a new institutional stake of 11,536 shares valued at $1.386 million, showing that some buyers are still adding exposure after the July 28, 2026 earnings release.
Trucks and parts
PACCAR's business still rests on commercial trucks, aftermarket parts, and financing, with Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF as the best-known brands. That spread matters because parts and financial services can help smooth cycles when truck demand softens.
Shares and dividend
The company's quarterly dividend was set at $0.35 a share, equal to $1.40 annualized, with a 1.1% yield in the same market summary. As of August 31, 2026, the stock traded at $125.34 in that snapshot, below the $131.70 consensus target but well above the $92.25 1-year low.
