Analysis
PACCAR Inc (PCAR) currently trades at $130.72, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $94.80, implying the stock looks roughly 27.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, PACCAR Inc generated revenue of $27.8B at a net margin of 8.9%. Revenue declined 8.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $9.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $61.27 (bear case) to $118.50 (bull case); at $130.72, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 49% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 10% fair-value upside, at -27%, PCAR screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($99.12) versus Asset-Based ($24.52). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
