Company outlook confirmed

Share price after the results: −4.3%

Rush Enterprises expects momentum to continue with normal seasonality and a solid first quarter of 2027, but names no concrete upward or downward revision to guidance.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“We expect that momentum to continue allowing for normal seasonality Trucks we are delivering from our backlog, which should also help create additional parts and service opportunities.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
