This is supported by higher expected unit sales at Trucks North America and tariff-related improvements following the approval of the company’s U.S. Content application by the U.S. Department of Commerce, effective November 1, 2025. Karin Rådström, President and CEO of Daimler Truck: “Strong results at Trucks North America and an improved outlook for the region, driven by higher unit sales and a lower tariff impact for the remainder of the year, give us the confidence to raise our full-year guidance.” Eva Scherer, CFO of Daimler Truck: “Given our strong liquidity position, we intend to launch the second tranche of our ongoing share buyback program immediately upon completion of the first tranche, which is expected by mid-September at the latest. The second tranche is planned to run through the end of June 2027 and will have a volume of up to €1.1 billion, underscoring our continued commitment to delivering value to our shareholders.” Outlook for 2026 raised Daimler Truck raises its full-year guidance for 2026. Adjusted EBIT at group level is now expected between €3.6 billion and €4.1 billion (previously: €3.2–€3.7 billion; 2025: €3.5 billion). Group unit sales are projected between 340,000 and 370,000 units (previously: 330,000–360,000; 2025: 315,000). Revenue of the Industrial Business is estimated between €43 billion and €47 billion (previously: €42–€46 billion; 2025: €42.1 billion), and the adjusted return on sales of the Industrial Business is now expected between 7% and 9% (previously: 6–8%; 2025: 7.9%). The Free Cash Flow of the Industrial Business is anticipated between €3.0 billion and €3.5 billion (previously: €2.7–€3.2 billion; 2025: €1.8 billion). At segment level, Trucks North America now expects an adjusted return on sales of 9% to 11% (previously: 6–8%) and unit sales of 160,000 to 180,000 units (previously: 150,000–170,000). Due to the ongoing weak market situation in Latin America and Mexico, Daimler Buses reduces its unit sales guidance for 2026 to 20,000–25,000 units (previously: 25,000–30,000). All other guidance items for 2026 remain unchanged. The updated guidance is based on the assumption that the current United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) framework remains in place and does not reflect any potential changes in tariff policy, macroeconomic conditions, or geopolitical developments.
