Daimler Truck stock (ISIN DE000DTR0CK8) was trading at EUR 40.68 on Xetra on October 2, 2026 at 3:35 p.m. CEST, down 2.00 percent from the previous session. The market reaction contrasts with Q2 2026 revenue of EUR 12.292 billion, which rose 5.3 percent year over year, while tariff effects continued to pressure margins.

Revenue rises as margins compress

Nadiralpha reports that Daimler Truck generated EUR 12.292 billion in Q2 2026 revenue and EUR 1.468 billion in net income. Diluted earnings per share reached EUR 1.91, while adjusted Group EBIT was EUR 838 million, down 18 percent from Q2 2025 as material costs and tariffs weighed on profitability.

The contrast is important for investors: revenue expanded, but operating performance weakened. Daimler Truck also lifted full-year 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance to EUR 3.6 billion to EUR 4.1 billion, with industrial revenue guided at EUR 43 billion to EUR 47 billion and industrial adjusted return on sales at 7 percent to 9 percent, according to Yahoo Finance in its Q2 2026 earnings-call transcript published August 7, 2026.

UBS sees EPA27 cost pressure

On September 25, 2026, Finanznachrichten reported that UBS kept Daimler Truck at Neutral with a EUR 47 price target. UBS analyst Hemal Bhundia estimated that EPA27-related truck costs could rise by USD 6,000 to USD 22,000 in 2027, adding a specific margin risk to the stronger revenue picture.

Daimler Truck's next scheduled reporting date is November 6, 2026, when the company plans to publish its Q3 results, according to its investor relations page.
