Mercedes-Benz Group (DE0007100000) remains under pressure this week after a sector-wide sell-off pushed the shares to a new 52-week low around EUR 44. Industry data show a marked drop in German passenger car output and exports in May, adding to the cautious mood.

What this week brought

The latest pressure on Mercedes shares stems from a dramatic profit warning at rival BMW earlier in the week, which rattled the entire European auto sector and sharpened investor focus on pricing power and margins in China.

According to an overview citing company and industry data, German passenger car production declined about 18% year-on-year in May, while exports dropped roughly 19%, underscoring a weaker demand environment for premium manufacturers.

How Mercedes compares to peers

Mercedes remains a heavyweight in the DAX and Stoxx Europe 600 autos cohort, with a market capitalization in the mid tens of billions of euros, but the stock has now fallen close to 30% from its 52-week high near EUR 62 reached in December.

Sector peers such as BMW and Volkswagen have also retreated in recent sessions, as investors reassess earnings expectations ahead of the upcoming second-quarter reporting season and monitor any further guidance changes from the German car makers.

How Mercedes makes its money

Mercedes-Benz Group generates the bulk of its revenue from selling premium passenger cars and SUVs under the Mercedes-Benz and AMG brands, complemented by vans and financial services such as vehicle financing, leasing and fleet management.
