PACCAR Inc dividend income comes from one of the world's largest commercial truck manufacturers, behind brands like Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF. PCAR currently yields 2.21%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.76 per share. The next ex-dividend date is August 12, 2026. With a beta of 0.972, PCAR tracks closely with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want industrial exposure without outsized volatility.
PACCAR Inc pays out 57.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves a meaningful buffer, and the company's Parts and Financial Services segments, which include aftermarket components and PacLease financing, provide revenue streams beyond the more cyclical truck manufacturing business. PACCAR Inc dividend safety faces its clearest pressure from the cyclical nature of commercial truck demand, which can compress earnings and, in turn, tighten the headroom that currently makes the payout look manageable.
PACCAR Inc dividend history shows a CAGR of 2.1% per year from 2004 to 2024. Per-share payments moved from $2.75 to $4.17 over that span (with 2025 and 2026 both partial years). The largest annual increase in the window was 88.4% in 2011, but the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which reflects the cyclical swings typical of truck manufacturing demand.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -13.4% | $4.19 (2022) | $2.72 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +6.6% | $1.98 (2020) | $2.72 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +1.6% | $2.32 (2015) | $2.72 (2025) |
PCAR stock fits dividend investors who prioritize moderate, sustainable income over fast payout growth. The yield sits at 2.21%, below its own 5-year average of 2.91%, which means buyers today are getting less income relative to price than the historical norm. The 57.5% payout ratio keeps the dividend within a moderate (2–4%) yield range without stretching the balance sheet. Growth has been slow at 2.1% annually, and the history includes cuts during downturns. What investors get is exposure to a global truck franchise with diversified revenue from parts and financial services. The trade-off is accepting cyclical income rather than a steadily compounding one.
