Navistar Miss:  Navistar reported some very challenging results and the shares have sold off significantly today.  The lack of clarification on the company’s engine certification was particularly troubling.  Even after a period of significant underperformance relative to Paccar, Paccar still trades at a 23% discount to Navistar on an Adjusted EV/2011 EBITDA basis.  While this may reflect some concerns about Paccar’s SEC inquiry, that is a less significant business headwind than not meeting *2010* emissions targets in mid-2012.
