Bayer shows consistent success | Daimler Truck adjusts outlook
Bayer shows consistent success
Bayer $BAYN (-1,01 %) surprises with positive figures, despite the challenge of job cuts. On Monday, it was announced that crop protection production in Frankfurt am Main will be discontinued by the end of 2028, affecting around 500 jobs. These drastic measures are part of a comprehensive five-year plan for the Crop Science division, which aims to achieve savings of one billion euros. But the company is not letting this get it down: Things are going well in the pharmaceuticals business, with operating profit from the prescription drugs division shooting up by an impressive 13.4 percent in the first quarter. CEO Anderson, who is facing criticism from investors due to the delayed overall development, attributes this success to a well thought-out organizational model that sets standards in the industry.
Daimler Truck adjusts outlook
In the USA, the situation for Daimler Truck $DTG (-2,63 %) looks less encouraging. The management duo, consisting of Karin Radström and CFO Eva Scherer, has revised the annual outlook for 2025 downwards. Instead of the original target of 52 to 54 billion euros in turnover, a range of 48 to 51 billion euros is now given. The reason for this adjustment is the new tariffs introduced by the Trump administration. This uncertainty means that freight forwarders in America do not know how their business will continue and whether they will be able to distribute goods from domestic ports. This has a direct impact on Daimler Truck's customers, who are now more hesitant to order new vehicles. The current challenges present the company with new hurdles to overcome.

Sunday:
Due to industrial overcapacity, deflation is depressing prices in China. Prices there fell by an average of 0.7% compared to the same month last year. The reason for the decline was probably a high basis for comparison from the previous year, as well as government programs to boost consumption.
Monday:
$HFG (-0,94 %) Hellofresh shocks the markets with a sales warning, down more than 10%. Analysts at JP Morgan continue to see the price target at 15 euros. This is because EBITDA is expected to rise again. Hellofresh is dispensing with expensive marketing campaigns, which hurts sales but may increase profits.
Tuesday:
$VOW3 (-0,23 %) Volkswagen is struggling with a drop in sales and profits. Overall, 2.3% fewer vehicles were sold. Sales for 2024 increased minimally by one percent to 324.7 billion euros. Profit fell from 17.8 to 12.3 billion euros.
Wednesday:
$P911 (-1,01 %) Porsche earns significantly less. Similar to VW, profits are down by around 30%. The dividend is to remain stable. Turnover is also expected to stagnate in 2025.
Not only is Rheinmetall's share price rising $RHM (-0,42 %) Rheinmetall is rising, sales are also increasing significantly. Rheinmetall could grow by 34% in 2024. Growth of 25-30% is also expected for 2025. Rheinmetall achieved sales of just under 10 billion euros in 2024. The order backlog grew to 55 billion euros. The dividend is set to rise from 5.70 to 8.10 euros per share.
$TMV (-1,65 %) Teamviewer is celebrating its 20th anniversary, which means the tech company from Göppingen has been around longer than the average lifespan of a German company (around 12 years). Click here for a summary of the company's history:
US inflation data comes in lower than expected, market bounces back. Compared to the same month last year, prices rose by 2.8%. An increase of 2.9% was expected.
Thursday:
The fashion group $BOSS (-2,09 %) Hugo Boss from Metzingen wants to increase its dividend to 1.40 euros per share. At 4.31 billion euros, turnover was three percent above the previous year's figure and higher than ever before. Declining sales in China were a particular burden on the Group. Profit therefore fell by 17% to 217 million euros. In the coming year, turnover is expected to stagnate, but profitability is set to increase.
Companies such as $DTG (-2,63 %) Daimler Truck fell significantly after Donald Trump announced that he would relax the emissions regulations for trucks. Daimler in particular has invested billions of dollars in recent years to make its trucks environmentally friendly.
With the inflation rate in the USA already below expectations, producer prices are also below expectations. This is particularly interesting, as producer prices are a leading indicator for inflation in the future.

As with $VOW3 (-0,23 %) VW, BMW's profits are also on the decline. BMW achieved a profit of 7.7 billion euros, 37% less than a year ago. Turnover fell by 8.2% to 142 billion euros. China is the main problem for BMW.

Daimler Truck records decline in profits | Share price falls due to US climate debate
Daimler Truck $DTG (-2,63 %) recently gave a deep insight into its current challenges. Sales fell by 3 percent to 54.1 billion euros due to the tense economic situation in Europe and Asia. This difficult situation was further exacerbated by high value adjustments of 591 million euros before interest and taxes. The profit for shareholders now stands at 2.9 billion euros - a fall of almost a quarter. Despite these sobering figures, the dividend remains stable at 1.90 euros per share, which offers investors a small ray of hope in this challenging phase.
Looking to the future, however, Daimler Truck has optimistic plans. The operating margin in the industrial business, excluding financial services, fell by one percentage point to 8.9 percent. The Group has set itself the target of increasing this margin to 8 to 10 percent in the coming year. One positive sign is the order intake in the last quarter, which rose by an impressive 15 percent to 124,046 vehicles despite a 2 percent decline for the year as a whole. This development could indicate an imminent recovery and give hope for the future.
In the USA, the discussion about looser climate regulations has weighed heavily on Daimler Truck's share price. While the shares of Traton and Volvo are also under pressure, the decline of Daimler Truck as the market leader in North America is particularly striking. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced more than 30 relaxations of regulations, which also affect CO₂ reduction regulations for commercial vehicles. These developments could have far-reaching consequences for Daimler Truck's most important market, especially as the company has invested heavily in zero-emission drives under CEO Karin Rådström. The coming months will show how these factors will affect the business.

EU Commission corrects climate targets - car shares rise
The EU Commission wants to make it easier for European car manufacturers to meet the climate targets for 2025. This was announced by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) at a press conference on Monday. She had previously met with industry representatives in Brussels to discuss the current situation in the industry.
The solution is to be a so-called "quick fix" for the industry, which is to be presented as early as this month. According to this, the CO2 targets for 2025, 2026 and 2027 are to be combined into one compensation period. Achieving the targets on an annual basis is therefore off the table.
This caused a clear market reaction on the stock exchange. Shares in German car manufacturers benefited in particular, all of which rose by more than two percent. The shares of $DTG (-2,63 %) Daimler Truck and $VOW (-0,1 %) Volkswagen rose the most, each by more than five percent. Also $BMW (+0,25 %) BMW, $MBG (-0,35 %) Mercedes Benz and $P911 (-1,01 %) Porsche also participated with rising share prices.
On Wednesday, von der Leyen will officially present the action plan for the automotive industry, which was jointly developed in the Strategic Dialogue and will include further measures such as the expansion of the charging infrastructure. In addition, money is to be made available for a social leasing program via the Climate Social Fund.

Daimler Truck receives major order from Amazon
The German commercial vehicle manufacturer Daimler Truck has secured the largest order for electric trucks in the company's history.
Amazon has ordered 200 heavy-duty Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks, the online retailer announced on Monday. "This is an important milestone for us," Andreas Marschner, Vice President of Amazon Worldwide Operations Sustainability, told the Reuters news agency. "Decarbonizing heavy-duty transport is the most difficult part of transportation." The vehicles are to be used in Germany and the UK and will be integrated into the online retailer's network this year. According to Amazon, this is the largest order of electric trucks for the company to date. The 40-ton trucks are to be used in the medium-distance network between fulfillment centers, sorting centers and delivery bases.
The eActros 600 has a range of 500 kilometers and is therefore well suited to Amazon's delivery network, according to Marschner. To support the use of the trucks, Amazon is building a network of 360-kilowatt fast-charging stations at its locations. These can charge a truck from 20 to 80 percent in less than an hour, "which is also compatible with the legally prescribed breaks for drivers," explains Marschner. The order is part of Amazon's voluntary commitment to achieve net-zero emissions at all sites by 2040.
