UBBS on N. American Land Transportation Equipment: Pit Stop for Truck Cycle

Analyst, Henry Kirn, said, "Truckers continue to report better business conditions & pricing, but survey responses on truck purchases point to more moderate growth than indicated by previous surveys. Separately, we asked truckers about 2010 engine performance & thoughts on Navistar trucks. While truckers did not generally see NAV’s pending EPA certification as impacting their purchase decision, they were on average less likely to buy a Navistar truck than they were a year ago."

"We are lowering forward estimates for PACCAR (Nasdaq: PCAR), Navistar (NYSE: NAV), Volvo, Danaher (NYSE: DAN) & Meritor (Nasdaq: MTOR). Also, we are lowering PCAR, NAV, Volvo & MTOR price targets...While we are lowering our Class 8 truck build estimates, we believe the slower growth rates are largely in shares and maintain our Buy ratings on PCAR, NAV, Cummins (NYSE: CMI), Volvo, Daimler, DAN and Swift Transportation (Nasdaq: SWFT). We also maintain our Neutral ratings on Eaton (NYSE: ETN), MTOR, Knight Trans (NYSE: KNX), Heartland Express (Nasdaq: HTLD), and Werner (Nasdaq: WERN)."
