Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, PCAR's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 95%, free-cash-flow payout 62%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout95% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout62% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Paccar looks technically
Paccar (PCAR) is trading 10.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 238 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 53, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 29, in oversold territory (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 3 trading days ago. It is 22.4% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 10.4% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -10.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $122.11 | $122.11 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $120.58 | $120.58 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 66 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 66 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 238 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 238 sessions |

Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 29, in oversold territory (below 30) | 28.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($105.44 to $115.78) — its "stochastic" reading is 25 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 25.2 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 1 session |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $139.24 | $139.24 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 22.4% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -22.4% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 17.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +17.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 22.4% below its highest point of the past year | 22.4% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $139.24 (set on 2026-07-28) | $139.24 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($93.00 to $138.21), and it has given back well over two thirds of its rise from last year’s low — 67% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $108.82 to $110.27. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 66.7% |
| From the all-time high | it is 22.4% below its all-time high | -22.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.7% above a support level at $107.28 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-05-21, most recently on 2026-06-01. Since 2024-10-09 it has 7 such levels below the current price and 7 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.7% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $13.59 (set on 2009-03-06) | $13.59 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 695.2% above its all-time low | +695.2% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 74% of it) | 74th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.65 between its high and its low — about 2.5% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $2.65 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $103.98 and $121.60 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $103.98 – $112.79 – $121.60 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.5% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.5% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (10.4% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 4.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
1
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-09 0.2% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -0.2% |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading), MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 15% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-02 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thin, spanning 0.5% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -15.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 11% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $121.25 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 191 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -10.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 12% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-28 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $122.31 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 53 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -11.7% |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

PCAR had 2.34% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 5.29 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
