Daimler Truck (ISIN DE000DTR0CK8) was trading at EUR 40.76 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026, at 9:46 a.m. CEST, 0.24 percent below the Xetra close of October 20, 2026. The latest company data showed strong third-quarter unit growth, while a fresh analyst view kept the valuation debate cautious.
On October 19, 2026, Bernstein analyst Chad Dillard maintained a Sell rating on Daimler Truck and set a price target of EUR 39.00, according to Markets Insider. The target is EUR 1.76 below the Lang & Schwarz price, making the analyst call a direct counterweight to the recent sales figures.
Three dates shape the setup
On June 30, 2026, Daimler Truck reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 12.29 billion and net profit of EUR 1.46 billion, compared with EUR 11.67 billion and EUR 277.00 million a year earlier, according to Markets Insider. On October 8, 2026, the group sold 91,260 vehicles in the third quarter, up from 72,277 a year earlier, as Daimler Truck reported. The October 19 analyst decision then placed a EUR 39.00 target against the stock.
What does the sales rebound mean?
The sales mix explains why investors still face a split signal. Trucks North America delivered 45,629 vehicles in the third quarter, up 51 percent year over year, while Mercedes-Benz Trucks sold 40,362 units, up 13 percent. Daimler Buses declined 16 percent to 5,394 units, and battery-electric truck and bus sales fell 28 percent to 1,207 units, according to the company release.
In its October 9, 2026 research update, mwb research said the North American increase partly reflected catch-up effects. The firm cited full-year adjusted EBIT guidance of EUR 3.60 billion to EUR 4.10 billion and an Industrial Business return on sales range of 7 percent to 9 percent, while retaining its Sell rating and EUR 33.00 target.
Next reporting date
Daimler Truck is scheduled to disclose its detailed third-quarter financial and non-financial figures on November 6, 2026, according to the Daimler Truck investor-relations page. That release will show whether higher deliveries translated into stronger margins and cash generation.
