Company Report

Mercedes-Benz Earnings: Near-Term Headwinds Don't Change Long-Term Outlook

Narrow-moat Mercedes-Benz reported disappointing first-quarter earnings as macroeconomic pressures had an impact on results, driving shares down roughly 5% intraday on April 30. First-quarter sales and earnings per share fell short of FactSet consensus estimates by 8% and 2.4%, respectively. Despite near-term headwinds, our long-term outlook is unchanged, and we reiterate our EUR 117 per share fair value estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Mercedes-Benz is a highly recognizable, well-respected global premium and luxury brand, which gives the company a modest buffer against the cyclical downturns of auto sales.

Bears

The global premium car market is highly competitive, and consumers can easily switch among brands.
