** Morgan Stanley raises price target on truck maker Paccar PCAR.O to $102 from $93, maintains "equal-weight" rating
** New PT represents 14% downside to stock's last close
** Brokerage expects tariffs to become tailwind year-over-year given PCAR's relatively advantaged position due to truck tariffs and rebates laid out by latest Section 232 guidance, which protects domestic industries in U.S.
** PCAR's advantage stems from its strategy of localizing its manufacturing footprint to where its key end markets are, Morgan Stanley says
** Adds that tariffs are expected to impact PCAR's truck and parts segment in first-quarter costing about $30 million
** Seven of 21 brokerages rate stock "buy" or higher, 13 "hold" and one "sell"; their median PT is $110.2 - data-compiled LSEG
** PCAR had gained 12.6% in 2025
