Mercedes-Benz Group AG (ETR:MBG) plans to sell a part of its stake in Daimler Truck Holding AG (ETR:DTG), CFO Harald Wilhelm said during a call with investors on 12 February 2026. The proceeds will be returned to investors. Overall, Mercedes-Benz could potentially return to shareholders around EUR 6 billion (USD 7.11 billion) in 2026 generated through the industrial business and as proceeds from transactions, the CFO said.
This compares with a cash return of EUR 4.4 billion in 2025. Mercedes-Benz holds a stake of about 35% in Daimler Truck, retaining the shares after spinning off the commercial vehicles manufacturer in 2021. Based on Daimler Truck's current market capitalization of EUR 33.25 billion, the stake is worth about EUR 11.6 billion.
