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. » Más en 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. » Más en finanzen.net

Worldwide sales of medium and heavy electric trucks and buses nearly doubled in 2025 to around half a million vehicles year‑on‑year. Almost 90% of sales were in China, while the EU, India, Brazil and the UK posted double‑digit increases, mainly for electric buses. Electric buses accounted for 17% of all bus sales globally; outside China and the US, most zero‑emission commercial vehicles were buses. Daimler Truck CEO Karin Rådström cites a lack of charging infrastructure and missing cost parity with diesel as the biggest obstacles to further transition. » Más en wiwo.de
