PACCAR screens cheaper than Symbotic on all three valuation measures provided. That compares their current multiples; it doesn’t show that one stock is worth more or will perform better.
PACCAR Inc and Symbotic Inc are both in the Industrials sector and Capital Goods industry group, but their businesses and financial profiles differ. In the latest snapshot, PACCAR’s adjusted closing price was US$101.98, compared with US$36.82 for Symbotic. Their market capitalizations were US$53.7 billion and US$22.3 billion, respectively. Share prices alone don’t tell you which stock is cheaper. On the supplied P/E, PEG and P/B figures, PACCAR has the lower multiple in each case. Here’s what the snapshot shows—and what it doesn’t.
Investor takeaway: PACCAR has the lower multiple on all three measures: a P/E of 19.5 versus 460.3 for Symbotic, a PEG of 0.73 versus 4.55, and a P/B of 2.57 versus 6.70. PACCAR also reports higher trailing-twelve-month ROE and a 1.30% dividend yield, while Symbotic’s supplied yield is 0.00%. These figures describe the snapshot, not future returns. Multiples can reflect different growth expectations, earnings conditions and business risks. The data provided doesn’t show which stock is the better investment.

PACCAR has the lower supplied multiple on all three measures
PACCAR’s P/E is 19.5, compared with 460.3 for Symbotic. Its PEG is 0.73 versus 4.55, and its P/B is 2.57 versus 6.70. PACCAR looks cheaper based on the available multiples, but that doesn’t prove its shares are undervalued or that it will outperform.
Bull case
PACCAR’s lower P/E, PEG and P/B come alongside 13.7% trailing-twelve-month ROE and a 1.30% dividend yield. Those figures may appeal to investors comparing valuation and current shareholder returns. They don’t guarantee that the multiples will hold or that the shares will rise.
Bear case
PACCAR’s lower multiples don’t show whether its future earnings or book value are more attractive. The snapshot includes no forecasts and doesn’t explain the assumptions behind either company’s valuation. You need more business and risk context to understand the gap.
The valuation snapshot
The supplied figures put PACCAR below Symbotic on all three available multiples.
| Measure | PACCAR | Symbotic |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 19.5 | 460.3 |
| PEG | 0.73 | 4.55 |
| P/B | 2.57 | 6.70 |
PACCAR looks cheaper in this comparison, but the figures don’t establish fair value. The snapshot doesn’t include earnings forecasts, growth assumptions or other details that could explain the difference. For company information, see PACCAR and Symbotic.
Returns, yield and the limits of the comparison
PACCAR’s trailing-twelve-month ROE is 13.7%, compared with 4.4% for Symbotic. The supplied dividend yields are 1.30% and 0.00%, respectively. Both companies have a Buy analyst consensus label in the snapshot. The listed analyst targets are US$126.88 for PACCAR and US$61.50 for Symbotic.
These are snapshot figures, not guarantees or independent assessments of value. A lower multiple can reflect different expectations or risks, and the information provided doesn’t explain those factors. Use the figures as a starting point, and consider each company’s business and financial outlook separately.
