PACCAR Stock Surge: PACCAR Inc's stock rose 6% following President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on imported heavy-duty trucks, which is expected to benefit domestic manufacturers like PACCAR.
Impact on Competitors: While PACCAR stands to gain, European manufacturers such as Daimler Truck and Traton experienced stock declines, with analysts noting that PACCAR's domestic production gives it a competitive edge over these companies.
