Daimler Truck (ISIN DE000DTR0CK8) was trading at EUR 41.29 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:45 a.m. CEST, minus 0.15 percent versus the Xetra close of October 9, 2026 at EUR 41.35. At that level, Daimler Truck stock sits 17.55 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 50.08. On October 8, 2026, Daimler Truck reported third-quarter unit sales growth of 26 percent.

Sales growth hides a split

The group sold 91,260 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 72,277 in the third quarter of 2025. Trucks North America delivered 45,629 vehicles versus 30,225 a year earlier, a 51 percent increase, while Mercedes-Benz Trucks rose 13 percent to 40,362 units from 35,818.

The weaker points were equally clear. Daimler Buses sold 5,394 vehicles, down 16 percent from 6,443, and battery-electric truck and bus sales fell 28 percent to 1,207 units from 1,679, according to the Daimler Truck release dated October 8, 2026. The sales mix therefore points to a North American recovery rather than uniform momentum across every division.

What does November 6 mean?

Daimler Truck's investor-relations calendar lists November 6, 2026, for the detailed third-quarter financial and nonfinancial disclosure. The date matters because the sales release provides volume comparisons, while the scheduled report will put revenue, earnings and segment profitability beside the 91,260-vehicle result, as stated on the Daimler Truck investor-relations page.

Three milestones shape the story

On September 24, 2026, Daimler Truck and Girteka agreed on the delivery of 900 Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin trucks, following 500 vehicles added to the fleet in 2026, according to Daimler Truck. On October 5, 2026, the company disclosed that it had bought back 780,690 shares between September 28 and October 2, bringing cumulative purchases since March 16 to 8,599,810 shares, reported by FinanzNachrichten. On October 8, 2026, the group reported 91,260 third-quarter vehicle sales, the latest of the three milestones.
