PACCAR screens cheaper than Symbotic on all three valuation measures provided. That’s a useful comparison, but it doesn’t tell you which stock is the better investment.
PACCAR Inc. and Symbotic Inc. are both in the Industrials sector and Capital Goods industry group, but they have different businesses and valuation profiles. At the latest adjusted closes on 2026-10-30, PACCAR traded at US$101.91 per share, with a market cap of US$53.7 billion. Symbotic traded at US$37.93 per share, with a market cap of US$23.0 billion.
Share prices alone don’t show which stock is cheaper. The supplied P/E, PEG and P/B ratios offer a more useful comparison. PACCAR has the lower figure on all three measures. That makes it look cheaper based on these multiples, but questions about growth, business risks and future results remain.

Investor takeaway: PACCAR’s P/E, PEG and P/B ratios are 19.4, 0.73 and 2.56, respectively. Symbotic’s are 474.1, 4.68 and 6.90. These figures compare the supplied valuation measures; they don’t prove PACCAR is undervalued or Symbotic is overvalued. The snapshot also shows differences in profitability and dividend yield that investors may want to consider.
PACCAR has the lower value on all three supplied multiples
PACCAR’s P/E is 19.4, compared with 474.1 for Symbotic. Its PEG is 0.73 versus 4.68, and its P/B is 2.56 versus 6.90. PACCAR looks cheaper on these measures, but that doesn’t prove it offers better value overall.
Bull case
PACCAR combines lower multiples with a 13.7% TTM ROE and a 1.33% dividend yield. These figures add context, but they don’t guarantee future performance.
Bear case
Lower multiples don’t prove PACCAR is a bargain. This snapshot doesn’t explain why the market values the companies differently or how their results may change.
Valuation snapshot: PACCAR screens cheaper
All three supplied multiples point in the same direction. PACCAR’s P/E of 19.4 is below Symbotic’s 474.1. Its PEG of 0.73 is below 4.68, and its P/B of 2.56 is below 6.90. PACCAR looks cheaper on these measures. But the comparison doesn’t show whether the lower multiples reflect a mispricing or whether factors beyond this snapshot justify Symbotic’s higher multiples.

Profitability and dividend figures differ
The snapshot lists TTM ROE of 13.7% for PACCAR and 4.4% for Symbotic. It also shows a 1.33% dividend yield for PACCAR and 0.00% for Symbotic. These figures add context to the valuation comparison, but don’t explain either company’s prospects or establish what its stock should be worth.
Both companies have a Buy analyst consensus in the supplied table. The listed analyst targets are US$128.44 for PACCAR and US$62.03 for Symbotic.
