PCAR Nasdaq Construction Machinery & Heavy Transportation Equipment Financials FY2016–FY2025
PACCAR designs, builds and sells commercial trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF names. They range from light- and medium-duty trucks to heavy-duty trucks, and are used for hauling goods on and off the road. The company makes the trucks in plants in the United States, Europe, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico. It also makes diesel engines, mainly for its own trucks. It sells nearly all of its trucks to independent dealers.
Hi! I read Paccar’s latest annual report (fiscal 2025). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
−15.5%
No. Sales fell 15.5% last year.
Does it make a profit?
8.4%
A little. It keeps 8.4% of every sale as profit.
Does profit turn into cash?
12.9%
Yes. 12.9% of sales ends up as free cash.
How is the share priced?
21.9x
One share costs 21.9 times its yearly profit per share. Typical for its sector: 26.0x.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. PACCAR's filings tag debt separately for its truck business and its financial services arm, with no company-wide total in the SEC's structured data, so debt and debt-based ratios are left blank. Cash and short-term investments are left blank: its filings don't tag its marketable securities as a company-wide total, and from 2019 not its cash either, so a total would be understated. PACCAR's balance sheet splits assets and liabilities into current and long-term only for its truck business, not its financial services arm, so the current and quick ratios are blank. Share counts and per-share figures for earlier years are restated for a stock split (1.5-for-1), so every year is on today's share basis.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
KIRA · Paccar had $28.4B of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 15.5% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +8.7% a year on average.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

KIRA · Paccar made $2.4B of net profit in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2016 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 18.4% a year.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA · Free cash flow was $3.7B in fiscal 2025, 12.9% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

KIRA · Paccar returned $2.3B to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 63% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 0.0%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).

Diluted shares outstanding (annual)
KIRA · In the last 12 months, insiders sold $28.7M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. “Plan” marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Paccar can carry it.
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
