Mercedes-Benz Cuts 2026 Cars Outlook as China Deliveries Drop 31%

Mercedes-Benz Group cut its 2026 Cars profit outlook Oct. 27 as deliveries in China fell 31% in the third quarter, joining BMW and Volkswagen in lowering German automakers’ forecasts this year. The company lowered its full-year adjusted return-on-sales forecast for Mercedes-Benz Cars to 2% to 3%, from 3% to 5%. It now expects group earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to match the prior-year level, rather than come in significantly higher. Industrial-business free cash flow is expected to be significantly below the prior-year level.
