Longbow analyst Faheem Sabeiha upgraded Paccar from Neutral to Buy and established an $85 price target.
The Thesis
Strong Class 8 fundamentals and freight transportation analyst FTR Associates' higher production forecast for 2018 and 2019 made Longbow positive on Paccar, Sabeiha said in a Tuesday note.
Although rising material costs could weigh on Paccar's margins, the impact will only be minimal: 15-20 cents per share, excluding offsets from cost-sharing in its LTAs and potentially higher list pricing in the second half of 2018, the analyst said.

Longbow raised its 2018 earnings per share estimate by 15 cents to $5.37, citing a higher sales outlook. Longbow raised its 2019 estimate by 13 cents to $5.67 and lowered its 2020 estimate by 21 cents to $5.24 to account for a larger-than-projected decline in industry sales.
"Overall, we believe the recent pullback in PCAR represents a great entry point for a best-in-class operator that is well-positioned to capture rising end market demand and boasts a 10-percent FCF yield," Sabeiha said.
The Price Action
Paccar shares were trading flat over the past year through Monday.
The stock was up 1.6 percent at $69.91 at the close Tuesday.
