Shares of the truck maker witnessed a loss of 10.87% over the previous month, trailing the performance of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector with its gain of 13.14% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.98%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Paccar in its forthcoming earnings report. The company is scheduled to release its earnings on January 28, 2025. In that report, analysts expect Paccar to post earnings of $1.67 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 38.15%.

Regarding the entire year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast earnings of $7.92 per share and revenue of $31.61 billion, indicating changes of -17.59% and -5.12%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Paccar. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
