Daimler Truck revises its 2025 profit forecast due to North American market challenges, expecting a significant drop in adjusted EBIT.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Daimler Truck on Thursday slashed a key profit forecast for 2025 due to "continuous market weakness in North America".
The German company now expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in a range of 3.6 billion euros to 4.1 billion euros ($4.1 billion to $4.7 billion), compared with 4.7 billion euros reported for 2024.
That would mark a drop of as much as 23%. The company previously forecast that adjusted EBIT for 2025 would be just 5% lower, and could even rise 5%.

EBIT stands for Earnings Before Interest and Taxes. It is a measure of a firm's profitability that excludes interest and income tax expenses.
Market weakness refers to a decline in demand or performance in a specific market, which can negatively impact sales and profitability.
Adjusted earnings are a company's profits that have been modified to exclude certain one-time items, providing a clearer view of ongoing operational performance.
Profit margin is a financial metric that shows the percentage of revenue that exceeds the costs of goods sold, indicating how efficiently a company is generating profit.
