PACCAR Inc.
PACCAR Inc (PCAR) is a global manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles and related parts and services, known for brands such as Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF. The business generates revenue from vehicle sales, aftermarket parts and financing solutions, giving it a mix of cyclical truck demand and recurring aftermarket cash flows. Investors should note PACCAR’s exposure to freight activity and economic cycles, regulatory changes (emissions and safety) and supply-chain dynamics. The company’s size and diversified geographic footprint can provide resilience, but capital spending and truck order volatility mean earnings can fluctuate.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns, and values can fall as well as rise.
