Over on CAPS, 536 of the 573 members who have rated PACCAR -- some 94% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include FAOFool and Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner, a.k.a. TMFBreakerDave.
Two weeks ago, David tapped the stock as one of the market's many attractive opportunities:
Good strong companies like PACCAR are more than cut in half. Let's just see, Fools, shall we ...? Let's just see how many of the positions I open tonight beat the market over the next 2-4 years? Ready, set, go.
FAOFool shares that sentiment in a pitch made just three days later, highlighting PACCAR as a great way to pick up quality on the cheap:
Solid company with proven record, at a reasonable price. While there may be a slowdown in the coming quarter, as the economy slows to finish the 'shake out', PCAR will come through this and be stronger for it. Now is the time to get into the market, and get into quality names ... like [PACCAR].
