Navistar (NYSE: NAV)‘s stock had its “neutral” rating reaffirmed by research analysts at Goldman Sachs in a report released on Friday.

The analysts wrote, “We view the development as a positive for Neutral-rated NAV as its (1) product development schedule is on track and (2) truck margin structure is significantly stronger on CMI 15 liter engines than proprietary 13-liter engines, contrary to consensus views. NAV’s truck production market share was 16% in January, up from 14% in December but below 17% in 2012. We maintain our Neutral rating as we continue to see meaningful execution risk, but moving to production on the 15 liter platform is clearly a positive.”

Navistar traded down 2.90% on Friday, hitting $24.11. Navistar has a 1-year low of $18.17 and a 1-year high of $43.06. The stock’s 50-day moving average is currently $25.22. The company’s market cap is $1.930 billion.
