<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PACCAR has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PACCAR's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PACCAR's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into PACCAR's Recent Short Interest

BofA Securities analyst Michael Feniger upgraded PACCAR Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCAR#NASDAQ">PCAR</a>) to Buy from Neutral, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PCAR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast to $121.50 from $116.</a>
The analyst notes that PACCAR stock underperformed in 2024 due to pricing and production concerns, but projects green shoots in the truck market in 2025, leading to growth in 2026.
Per Feniger, PACCAR is one of the few OEMs likely to report a new peak EPS next year.
The analyst suggests that while all machinery markets face supply-demand imbalances, trucks will likely balance first due to factors like pre-emptive purchases ahead of emissions changes, stabilizing used truck inventories, and improving market indicators.
However, Feniger writes that risks include new admin pushing out EPA277, customers already replenishing fleets, weakening medium-duty orders, or higher rates impacting vocational demand.

The analyst notes that third-party industry forecasts predict truck builds will decline by 3% in 2025 before rising by 11% to 353.5k units in 2026. Feniger projects the company to report a new peak EPS of $10.25 in 2026, which is $1 above consensus, as freight conditions improve and customers buy trucks ahead of EPA27.
Additionally, the company&#8217;s dividend is projected to yield over 5% in 2026, the highest in the sector, offering an attractive return amid rising 10-year yields.
Price Action: PCAR shares are trading higher by 2.14% to $110.48 at last check Tuesday.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

While Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) remains his largest holding (about $15.4 billion) in the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation portfolio, Gates has been making some surprising moves.&nbsp;
Over the past year, he sold nearly a quarter of his Microsoft stock, but his bold third-quarter buys have everyone talking. Gates put his money into two transportation companies, signaling he's betting big on an industry bounce-back.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>

</ul>
The S&amp;P 500 Transportation Index had a tough 2024, slipping 0.5% while the overall S&amp;P 500 soared 23%. But Gates seems to see opportunity in the midst of it all.&nbsp;
According to market analysts, his two picks – Paccar and FedEx – reflect a belief that the sector is poised for a turnaround, especially if the economy improves in 2025. These strategic buys are worth a closer look.
Paccar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCAR#NASDAQ">PCAR</a>) might not ring a bell, but it&#8217;s heavy in heavy-duty trucks. The company's Peterbilt and Kenworth brands command 14.9% and 14.7% of the U.S. Class 8 truck market, second only to Freightliner's dominant 36.5% share, as reported by ATD.&nbsp;

These massive trucks, weighing over 33,000 pounds, are critical to the economy and Paccar's performance reflects that.
Paccar had a strong start to 2024, with a quarterly revenue of $8.74 billion in the first quarter. But as truckload demand dipped, the momentum faded. Still, signs of a recovery are emerging. Kenny Vieth, president of ACT Research, told Transport Topics, "We're in the early stages of building 2025 backlogs and November orders were up 21% from October."&nbsp;
Gates scooped up one million Paccar shares at around $100 each, a $100 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41312615/investors-pour-billions-into-openai-whats-driving-this-unprecedented-surge-in-funding">investment </a>in a company he believes has long-term promise.

Then there's FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>), a logistics powerhouse navigating turbulence. Its third-quarter report fell short of expectations and the company revised its full-year forecast downward, unsettling investors. But Gates saw an opportunity, snapping up another one million shares at an average of $273 each.
FedEx has been shaking things up internally. The company announced plans to spin off its less-than-truckload freight division, FedEx Freight, into a stand-alone business. According to Bloomberg, this division pulled in $9.4 billion in 2023 and could become a growth driver as FedEx sharpens its focus on core operations.&nbsp;
The move is part of its broader DRIVE initiative, which aims to make the company more efficient and flexible. Analysts believe this will streamline FedEx's operations and position it for growth if the economy rebounds.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PACCAR has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PACCAR's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PACCAR's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.39%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
