Mercedes-Benz (ISIN DE0007100000) stock was trading at EUR 40.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:47 a.m. CEST, up 0.55 percent versus the prior close of EUR 39.90. On September 29, Deutsche Bank Research cut its Mercedes-Benz price target from EUR 73.00 to EUR 70.00 while retaining its Buy rating, as FinanzNachrichten.de reported.

Target cut highlights China pressure

The analyst change sets a lower valuation reference while leaving the positive rating intact. The cited assessment identifies structural challenges in China as the largest burden on Mercedes-Benz, giving the October reporting dates added importance.

The gap between the EUR 70.00 target and the EUR 40.12 Lang & Schwarz price is EUR 29.88. The target therefore lies 74.48 percent above the reference price, calculated from the same euro base.

Q2 revenue reaches EUR 32.1 billion

Mercedes-Benz reported group revenue of EUR 32.1 billion in the second quarter of 2026, alongside adjusted group EBIT of EUR 2.3 billion and industrial free cash flow of EUR 1.1 billion. These figures come from the company key-figures page for Q2/2026, Mercedes-Benz Group.

The operating picture combines substantial cash generation with a valuation debate shaped by China and the premium-car market. For investors, the adjusted EBIT figure and the target revision create two measurable reference points before the next company update.

October brings two reporting dates

The company calendar lists a pre-close call for October 8, 2026, followed by the third-quarter interim report and analyst conference on October 28, 2026. The dates appear on the investor-relations page of Mercedes-Benz Group.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The finance quote shows a 52-week range of EUR 39.41 to EUR 62.34 and market capitalization of EUR 38.5 billion as of October 5, 2026. At EUR 40.12, the Lang & Schwarz quote sits near the lower end of that range, while the next scheduled disclosures provide the clearest dated tests for the current valuation.
