Daimler Truck Stock: Asian Alliance Takes Shape

Daimler Truck and Toyota have finalized their strategic partnership in the Asian commercial vehicle market after two years of negotiations. The companies will merge their Japanese subsidiaries, Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino Motors, into a new holding company set to launch in April 2026. This joint venture will be equally controlled with each company holding a 25% stake, while the remaining 50% will be available to public investors through a Tokyo stock listing. The new entity, employing over 40,000 people, aims to leverage synergies in development, procurement, and production, particularly focusing on decarbonization efforts in the transport sector. Analysts at Jefferies anticipate this move could generate approximately one billion euros for Daimler Truck upon the joint venture's stock listing and potentially improve the company's operating margin by about 0.5 percentage points.

Share Repurchase Program Continues

Alongside this strategic Asian repositioning, Daimler Truck remains active in capital markets through its ongoing share buyback program. Between May 30 and June 6, 2025, the company repurchased 1,173,087 of its own shares across multiple European exchanges, paying around 43.5 million euros at average prices ranging from 37.04 to 38.44 euros per share. Since initiating this program in August 2023, Daimler Truck has acquired more than 54 million shares, signaling management's confidence in the company's intrinsic value despite recent share price fluctuations.
