Mercedes-Benz Reports Q4 Loss Amid 12.4% Revenue Drop

Mercedes-Benz (DBAG.DE) posted a net loss of EUR 1.2 billion in Q4 ended December 31, 2025, down from a profit of EUR 2.1 billion in the same period of 2024. Revenue fell 12.4% to EUR 43.8 billion. The decline followed a soft global auto market, particularly in North America and China, and a strategic shift toward electric vehicles that reduced short-term profitability. The company maintained its full-year 2025 guidance of EUR 5.5 billion in adjusted operating profit, citing ongoing transition to EVs and macroeconomic headwinds.
