Daimler Truck

Daimler Truck initially raises about €600m from the partial sale of its Asian subsidiary Archion and could free up a total of €1.5–2.0bn if it reduces its stake further to 25%. The proceeds are intended to strengthen free cash flow, provide room for share buybacks and investments in alternative drivetrains, while the group simultaneously cuts costs. The move follows a weak Q2 with net profit from continuing operations of €117m (down ≈45%) and a falling net margin from 4.6% to 2.4%; analyst consensus remains mostly positive, though InvestingPro sees the stock as slightly overvalued. » More on de.investing.com

Bernstein Research increases the target price for Daimler Truck from €37 to €39 but keeps the rating at "Underperform." Analyst Harry Martin cites only limited progress on costs and, above all, product issues that are leading to market share losses in key European markets and weaker competitiveness. The stock last traded on XETRA at around €45.28, implying a downside risk of about 13.9 percent versus the target price; year-to-date the stock is up 26.8 percent. » More on finanzen.net
