Rush Enterprises, Inc., based in San Antonio, operates the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America, providing sales, service, and leasing for a range of truck and bus manufacturers.
The company reported third-quarter 2024 revenues of $1.9 billion and net income of $79.1 million, along with earnings per diluted share of $0.97. Despite challenging market conditions, including the impact of Hurricane Helene, the company declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share.
Key financial metrics reveal a slight decrease in total revenues and net income compared to the previous year. However, the company’s Class 8 vocational and public sector sales performed well, and medium-duty vehicle sales saw healthy demand, outperforming the market. Aftermarket revenue, while slightly down year-over-year, showed improvement over the previous quarter.
The company anticipates continued challenges in the Class 8 truck market through 2025 but expects improvements in Class 4-7 vehicle sales in the fourth quarter. With strategic initiatives in place, Rush Enterprises aims to leverage its sales force for market share growth amid gradually improving conditions.
Looking ahead, Rush Enterprises remains focused on strategic goals and expects to end 2024 in a strong financial position, despite ongoing industry challenges. The leadership transition to a new COO is expected to be smooth, supporting the company’s operational continuity.
