Rush Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, is the premier solutions provider to the commercial vehicle industry in North America, operating the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships. The company offers an integrated approach to meeting customer needs, including sales of new and used vehicles, aftermarket parts, service, leasing, and financing.
Rush Enterprises reported annual revenues of $7.8 billion for 2024, with a net income of $304.2 million, or $3.72 per diluted share. Despite a slight decline in revenues and net income compared to the previous year, the company declared a dividend of $0.18 per share. The company’s performance was affected by industry-wide challenges, including high interest rates and weak demand for Class 8 trucks.
Key financial metrics revealed a 2.7% decrease in total vehicle sales, while aftermarket product and service revenues slightly declined by 1.8%. The company expanded its network by adding new locations and continued to focus on its strategic initiatives, particularly in the aftermarket segment, to offset sluggish sales in some customer segments.
Looking ahead to 2025, Rush Enterprises anticipates challenges in the first half of the year but expects improvements in freight rates and new truck sales in the latter half. The company is optimistic about maintaining its market position in medium-duty trucks and believes its strategic focus on national accounts and aftermarket initiatives will help outperform the market.
