    By Neha Chamaria - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, CMI, NAV, PCAR

    PACCAR’s (NASDAQ: PCAR) first-quarter numbers were a bummer. Top and bottom lines missed Street estimates and the truck maker didn’t have anything substantial to say about the year ahead. Yet PACCAR’s stock has surprisingly gained momentum after the earnings announcement, rising more than 8% (as of this writing) since then.

    Famed billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens recently wrote an op-ed for the Omaha World-Herald, and there are a couple of key points that sums up in large, what Clean Energy Fuels' (NASDAQ: CLNE) - which Pickens helped found and sits on the board of - opportunity is:

  • What's to Come for Cummins?

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 25, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, CMI, NAV

    Cummins (NYSE: CMI) is still facing pressure from a struggling economy, expecting to see full year 2013 revenues come in flat to down 5% year over year.

  • Pull Your Money Out of This Stock Before Next Week

    By Neha Chamaria - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: CMI, NAV, OSK, PCAR, WPRT

    Of the several industrial companies that will report their quarterly numbers next week, one I am going to watch closely is PACCAR (NASDAQ: PCAR). Despite the underlying weakness in the trucking industry, PACCAR’s stock has kept its positive momentum, gaining 8% year to date. It hit its 52-week high barely a month ago.

    Yet, the truck maker might find it hard to keep up this momentum, because several things more »

  • Wriggle Away From This One?

    By Shas Dey - April 14, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, CMI, DE

    Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, has been under-performing the market for quite some time now. The industry that the company operates in is very sensitive to macroeconomic factors. Any external economic phenomenon like a financial downturn in far-off China significantly affects the industry. This was observed during the recent sub-prime crisis of 2008-09, when the stock reached its all-time low of around more »
