Rating changes on October 2
The rating shift gives the stock a more neutral position after a difficult earnings comparison. MarketBeat said one analyst had a Strong Buy rating, five had Buy ratings and three had Hold ratings, while the reported consensus was Moderate Buy.
The latest quarter also offers a mixed operating signal. According to Yahoo Finance, Daimler Truck generated EUR 12.30 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 5.00 percent year over year. Adjusted EBIT was EUR 800.00 million, while earnings per share amounted to EUR 1.91.
Guidance rises as margins lag
Management raised full-year 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance to EUR 3.60 billion to EUR 4.10 billion. The industrial business is expected to deliver revenue of EUR 43.00 billion to EUR 47.00 billion and adjusted return on sales of 7.00 percent to 9.00 percent, according to the same Q2 transcript.
The comparison is important: industrial revenue grew 6.00 percent year over year in the second quarter, but adjusted EBIT fell 22.00 percent to EUR 780.00 million. Tariff pressure in North America and higher material costs remain the main margin constraints, while order intake reached 74,000 units, up 27.00 percent year over year.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Daimler Truck's market capitalization was EUR 31.20 billion as of October 2, 2026. Its 52-week Xetra range was EUR 33.46 to EUR 50.08, placing the Lang & Schwarz price EUR 9.22 below the yearly high, a 18.41 percent gap calculated in euros.
Daimler Truck lists its third-quarter 2026 results for November 6, 2026. The next report will show whether stronger North American volumes can offset tariff and material-cost pressure.
