Daimler Truck (ISIN DE000DTR0CK8) was trading at EUR 40.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026, at 11:04 a.m. CEST, down 0.90 percent from the Xetra close of October 21, 2026, at EUR 40.92. The commercial vehicle maker reported a 26 percent increase in third-quarter unit sales on October 8, 2026, giving investors a stronger volume signal before the detailed financial report.

According to Daimler Truck, group deliveries reached 91,260 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 72,277 in the third quarter of 2025. The result was led by Trucks North America, where sales climbed to 45,629 vehicles from 30,225, while Mercedes-Benz Trucks delivered 40,362 units compared with 35,818.

What drove 26 percent growth?

The regional mix explains why the headline volume gain needs a careful reading. Trucks North America grew 51 percent year over year, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks increased 13 percent, but Daimler Buses fell 16 percent to 5,394 vehicles from 6,443. Battery-electric truck and bus deliveries also declined 28 percent to 1,207 units from 1,679.

Transportation and Logistics International reported on October 14, 2026, that the stronger North American and Mercedes-Benz Truck figures were set against weaker electric deliveries. For investors, the next test is whether higher deliveries improve margins and cash generation rather than only factory volumes.

Results arrive November 6

Daimler Truck is scheduled to publish its detailed third-quarter financial and non-financial figures on November 6, 2026, according to the company release. That report should connect the 91,260 vehicles sold in the quarter with revenue, profitability and cash flow, which are not included in the unit-sales announcement.

Analyst expectations have also moved. Placera reported that Barclays raised its price target from EUR 55.00 to EUR 60.00 on October 15, 2026, while retaining an Overweight rating. The target is 48.00 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, calculated from EUR 40.55.

Stock stays below yearly high

Daimler Truck stock was 19.05 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 50.08 and above its 52-week low of EUR 33.46 as of October 22, 2026. The current quotation therefore sits closer to the middle of its annual range than to the upper boundary, while the upcoming results remain the clearest scheduled test of the sales recovery.
