PACCAR Inc builds and sells commercial trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF brands, and the PACCAR Inc dividend currently yields 2.38%. Trailing twelve-month payments total $2.76 per share, paid quarterly, with the next ex-dividend date on November 10, 2026. PCAR also runs a Parts segment and a Financial Services arm that includes PacLease, adding revenue streams beyond truck sales. A beta of 0.972 puts PCAR stock close to market-average volatility, which suits dividend investors who want income without extreme price swings.
PACCAR Inc pays out 57.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer of retained earnings, supported by PCAR's three operating segments: Truck, Parts, and Financial Services, which together span manufacturing, aftermarket components, and recurring leasing and financing revenue. PACCAR Inc dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the cyclical nature of commercial truck demand, which has driven year-over-year dividend declines in the historical record.
PACCAR Inc dividend history shows a CAGR of 8.7% per year from 2005 to 2024. Per-share payments grew from $0.85 to $4.17 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest single-year jump was 88.4% in 2011, but the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, reflecting the cyclical swings typical of commercial truck markets.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -0.9% | $2.79 (2022) | $2.72 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +15.6% | $1.32 (2020) | $2.72 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +5.8% | $1.55 (2015) | $2.72 (2025) |
PCAR stock fits dividend investors who can accept an irregular payment pattern in exchange for above-average long-term growth. The current yield of 2.38% is moderate (2–4%), and it sits below the 5-year average of 2.73%, meaning buyers today are getting less income relative to price than the historical norm. The 8.7% CAGR over 19 years is the real draw here. Growth is the defining trait, not yield. The trade-off is clear: PACCAR Inc has delivered strong dividend growth over time, but the history includes cuts during downturns, so income investors who need predictable quarterly payments may find the cyclicality uncomfortable.
