Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Cyclical demand downturn
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Margin Compression Reflects Cyclical Trough
Gross margin fell from 21.4% in Q1 2024 to 16.1% in Q2 2026, a 530 basis point decline, according to quarterly filings, indicating reduced pricing power and lower capacity utilization during the downturn.
The sequential improvement in Q2 2026 (gross margin up 300 bps from Q1) suggests the trough may be near, but the year-over-year contraction remains steep. Operating margin at 11.7% is still above the 10-year average, yet the trend is clearly downward, reflecting negative operating leverage as fixed costs persist. Net margin held at 10.0% partly due to lower tax rates and financial services income, but this may not be sustainable if truck demand remains weak.
ROIC Decay Signals Cyclical Pressure
ROIC has fallen from 4.5% in Q1 2024 to 2.3% in Q2 2026, per reported data, indicating that returns on invested capital are compressing as margins decline and the asset base remains elevated.
The decline in ROIC is driven primarily by margin compression rather than asset efficiency, as asset turnover has been relatively stable around 0.15-0.22. This suggests that the company's competitive advantages are intact but are being temporarily overshadowed by the cyclical downturn. Investors should monitor whether ROIC recovers to the 4-5% range as the cycle turns, which would confirm the resilience of the business model.
Working Capital Swings Distort Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened to 207 days in Q2 2026 from 164 days in Q2 2024, as reported in financial statements, driven by a sharp increase in days sales outstanding to 261 days, indicating slower collections.
The DSO spike is unusual for PACCAR and may reflect a shift in sales mix toward large fleet customers with extended payment terms, or it could signal collection difficulties. DIO has remained stable, while DPO has been volatile, suggesting that PACCAR is not using supplier financing to offset the receivable drag. The resulting CCC expansion ties up cash and reduces operational efficiency, but it may be a temporary cyclical artifact.
Leverage Drifts Lower Amid Cyclical Pressure
Debt-to-equity improved from 0.91 in Q4 2024 to 0.72 in Q2 2026, per quarterly filings, even as revenue contracted 15.5% YoY, suggesting a conservative balance sheet posture during the downturn.
Total debt declined to $14.7B, and interest coverage, where available, remains comfortable (28.25x in Q1 2026). The D/EBITDA ratio has risen to 16.72, reflecting lower EBITDA, but this is a function of the cycle rather than a structural shift. The company's access to capital appears solid, and the gradual deleveraging suggests management is prioritizing balance sheet strength over aggressive capital returns.
Liquidity Buffer Masks Captive Finance Complexity
Current ratio improved to 3.12 in Q2 2026 from 3.02 a year earlier, per balance sheet data, while cash of $5.6B provides a substantial cushion, though a portion is tied to financial services.
The quick ratio of 2.90 indicates that inventory is not a major liquidity concern, but the reported cash balance likely includes funds held by the captive finance arm, which are not freely available for industrial operations. Under a severe stress scenario, the financial services segment could face credit losses that erode this liquidity buffer. Nevertheless, the strong current ratio and conservative leverage suggest the company can weather a prolonged downturn.
P/E Misleads in Cyclical Downturn
The trailing P/E of 29.42 appears expensive, but as reported in financial statements, earnings are at cyclical trough levels, making the multiple misleading; a normalized earnings approach is more appropriate.
Investors often apply a simple P/E to PACCAR without adjusting for the cyclicality of truck demand. At the trough, earnings are depressed, inflating the P/E, while at the peak, the P/E looks artificially low. A better metric is EV/EBITDA on normalized mid-cycle earnings, or price-to-book, which at 3.63 is more reasonable given the company's historical ROE. The forward P/E of 22.60 still embeds expectations of a recovery, but the risk is that the recovery is slower than expected, as evidenced by the recent EPS miss.
