Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

71

out of 100

Paccar Inc earns a fundamental-quality score of 71 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt -0.89× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +7.5%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

PACCAR builds premium trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF brands: the high-end rigs truckers buy for reliability and resale value. A family company in spirit, famous for not losing money even in the industry's worst crises.

What will shape its future

  • The truck order cycle, the wave governing all its good and bad years.
  • Parts and financing, the two businesses holding margins up when trucks aren't selling.
  • The electric and autonomous truck transition, where it spreads bets without marrying anyone.
