PACCAR, Inc. (PCAR)

This met a high level screen to indicate a sell and strong underperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balance sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
I'm testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadsheet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

best in class - Pete and Kenworth. changing laws in clean air, brake systems, etc shld boost sales

Cyclical action in an uncertain market in an adverse environment.

No sign that trains, planes or automobiles will replace trucks anytime soon. When economy turns around there might be some good pent-up demand.

Downthumb. High negative free cash flow. High valuation ratios. Nominal payout. <10% growthrate. High debt. High capital spending. Stock up nearly 2x from bottom on hopes of recovery.

Very well managed family run business that has been around for over 100 years. This company is not very well known but its products are winning in the trucking industry. The financial position is very strong right now in this ecnomic downturn and this company has been through several business cycles where it has continued to win and grow. Revenue continues to grow every year at healthy rates and it is a cash gen business.

Stock Advisor pick that I bought for the long haul. Trucks should figure into stimulus spending on the infrastructure
and in the tough times, after-market parts should be big. also pays a dividend.

I think the market has hit bottom and this stock will do well in the long term. Great products and international demand should do well here...

This is a strong company with fantastic management. They had good growth last year in spite of the economy, (targeted net profit of $1.1 billion for last year, and profit came in at $1.02 billion) and the CEO just declined an annual incentive payment of $1.1 million on the premise of the economic recession. That's great management in my opinion.

Cash is king.

Solid unknown.

hvy machines, trucks

At a low - time to buy, solid fundamentals, international exposure.

Solid company with proven record, at a reasonable price. While there may be a slowdown in the coming quarter, as the economy slows to finish the 'shake out', PCAR will come through this and be stronger for it. Now is the time to get into the market, and get into quality names...like PCAR.

A good supply of cash in a troubled market climate==survivor.

CAPS Stock of the Day for me this Monday.

The market is oversold. Good strong companies like PACCAR are more than cut in half. Let's just see, Fools, shall we...? Let's just see how many of the positions I open tonight beat the market over the next 2-4 years? Ready, set, go. --David

Cyclical business nearing bottom of price range. Globally diversified, efficent producer, plenty of cash on hand to weather current financial issues facing most other firms. Triple you money in five years with little downside risk.

The unquestioned leader in HD trucks. Has not had a losing quarter since before WWII. Closely held by Piggott family, and unbelievably good under their stewardship.
