Daimler Truck Q1 Sales Fall 9%

Daimler Truck Q1 unit sales dropped 9% YoY to 68,849 vehicles, driven by a 25% fall in North America volumes to 29,432 units.
Shares slipped about 1% following the earnings release, reflecting investor concern over the sales slowdown and macro‑geopolitical uncertainties.
Management reaffirmed full‑year profit‑margin guidance, targeting a 6%‑8% adjusted return on sales for the industrial segment, above 2025’s 7.9%.
