Dow Jones
Feb 12

0808 GMT - Mercedes-Benz shares will likely come under pressure today, RBC Capital Markets analyst Tom Narayan writes. "We saw caution on China and on U.S. tariffs for 2026, and it appears those concerns were well-founded." The company has plans to expand local research and development partnerships, intending to accelerate localization across the supply chain. The company has a 7 million vehicle customer base and intends to leverage partnerships to accelerate innovation in China. Globally, it wants to sell 2 million cars per year, which includes a 15% increase in top-end, and a doubling of electrified vehicles medium term. The goal is to get to an 8-10% adjusted EBIT margin medium term. "At a 3-5% adjusted EBIT margin guide for 2026, management has to prove it can get there." (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
