PACCAR is "structurally stronger" with revenue growth from $19 billion to over $28 billion and parts/financial services growing from 43% to 71% of profit, helping dampen cyclicality. The company is shifting from diesel dominance to leadership in autonomous freight and zero-emission powertrains.
Cyborg Score Rationale
PACCAR marks 87 consecutive years of net profitability. 2025 adjusted net income of $2.64 billion was the fourth best in the company's 120-year history. If Aurora-powered autonomous trucks launch in Q2 2026, PACCAR will be the first legacy OEM to offer a truly autonomous-ready platform at scale.
