The Bellevue, Washington-based truckmaker posted revenue of $6.78 billion, exceeding the $6.39 billion consensus by 6.03%, though that figure still represented an 8.9% decline from the $7.44 billion recorded a year earlier. Earnings per diluted share came in at $1.15, narrowly missing the $1.16 consensus by 0.70%, and the comparison to Q1 2025's adjusted non-GAAP EPS of $1.46 underscores the real pressure on underlying operations, with global truck deliveries falling to 33,100 units from 40,100. The primary culprit was a sharp drop in truck segment sales to $4.53 billion from $5.23 billion, with U.S. And Canadian deliveries declining to 17,800 units. Analysts have broadly maintained a hold consensus on the stock, and PACCAR's own guidance reflects cautious optimism, with management pointing to a growing production backlog and projecting U.S. And Canadian Class 8 retail sales of 230,000 to 270,000 units for full-year 2026.

“PACCAR reported good revenues and increased net income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter last year. These results were generated by strong PACCAR Parts and Financial Services results and growth in the truck businesses. PACCAR's production backlog is increasing due to stronger demand. I am very proud of our employees and dealers who have delivered outstanding trucks and transportation solutions to our customers.”
