Mercedes-Benz Group AG, trading under the symbol MBGAF on the OTC exchange, is a renowned German luxury carmaker. The company is known for its premium vehicles and has a significant presence in the global automotive market. Despite its strong brand, Mercedes-Benz faces competition from other luxury car manufacturers like BMW and Audi.
On October 29, 2025, MBGAF reported earnings per share of $1.43, which fell short of the estimated $1.77. The company generated revenue of approximately $37.72 billion, slightly below the anticipated $38.60 billion. This shortfall in earnings and revenue reflects the challenges the company is currently facing.
Mercedes-Benz has confirmed its guidance despite these challenges. The company reported a significant 70% decline in its third-quarter operating profit, as highlighted by Reuters. This downturn is attributed to economic weakness in China and the imposition of U.S. import tariffs, which have heavily impacted the carmaker's financial performance.
The financial impact of job cuts, compounded by U.S. tariffs and a decrease in demand for its vehicles, has further strained Mercedes-Benz's earnings. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately 7.65, indicating a relatively low valuation compared to its earnings.
Mercedes-Benz's price-to-sales ratio stands at about 0.37, suggesting that its stock is trading at a low price relative to its sales. The enterprise value to sales ratio is approximately 0.89, and the enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio is around 5.97, reflecting the company's valuation in relation to its cash flow. The earnings yield is about 13.07%, indicating a return on investment for shareholders. The debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 0.95, showing a moderate level of debt compared to equity, while the current ratio is about 1.32, indicating good liquidity to cover short-term liabilities.
