Like VW this German giant is struggling:
Analysts expected Mercedes-Benz to report poor figures but the €5.8bn in operating profits for 2025, announced this Thursday, were significantly lower than the predicted €6.6bn.
The car manufacturer’s operating profits fell by 57% and turnover fell by 9% last year.
This is mainly due to the poor sales figures in China, which fell by 19% compared to 2024.
I’ve always had German cars - BMW, Mercs and Audi. Looking at the prices now I would be looking elsewhere if I was after a car.
