Mercedes-Benz Group has initiated a share buyback program of up to 1 billion euros. The program, scheduled to run from September 1, 2026, to April 6, 2027, aims to repurchase up to 58 million shares for subsequent cancellation.

The company is managing a complex economic landscape characterized by a 30% decline in sales in China, contrasted by sales increases of 4% in Europe and 10% in the United States. Despite a decrease in total vehicle sales from 453,000 to 417,000 units, adjusted EBIT rose from 2.0 billion to 2.3 billion euros, driven largely by the Financial Services and Vans segments.
