(RTTNews) - Shares of Navistar International Corp. (NAV) are advancing more than 3 percent or $0.82 in Thursday's morning trade at $25.66 after the truck maker reported a loss for the second quarter that was narrower than analysts' expectations, while revenues beat expectations.

Thursday, Navistar said its net loss for the second quarter narrowed to $38 million or $0.38 per share from net loss of $48 million, or $0.48 per share in the year-ago period. However, net sales and revenues for the quarter declined 36 percent to $1.93 billion from $3.00 billion in the year-ago period.

Looking ahead, Navistar said it remain steadfast in pursuing Navistar 4.0. The company noted that while some programs and expenditures have been delayed, they have not been cancelled.
