Barclays downgrades European truck makers amid tariff and regulatory concerns
Barclays adopts a cautious stance on European truck manufacturers due to rising U.S. tariffs and regulatory risks, which could undermine the current stabilization in Europe, particularly affecting export-driven economies like Germany. The broker warns of potential earnings and cash flow downside risks for the sector, prompting downgrades for Daimler Truck and Traton to "equal-weight" and Volvo AB to "underweight," citing unfavorable valuations and significant foreign exchange challenges.
Barclays downgrades Traton stock amid market uncertainties and investment concerns
Barclays analyst Kai Alexander Mueller has downgraded Traton SE from Overweight to Equalweight, setting a price target of EUR 38.00 due to concerns over market uncertainties in North America and expected volume normalization in Brazil. Despite Traton's recent strong performance and recovery, risks include significant investments in China and unquantified costs from plant ramp-ups affecting margins. Additionally, limited short-term appetite from main shareholder Volkswagen Group for strategic moves may hinder Traton's potential to close its valuation gap with peers.
