Most Popular Narrative: 29% Undervalued

On Simply Wall St, the most followed narrative sees Mercedes-Benz Group’s fair value at €55.92 versus the last close at €39.59, which frames today’s price as a sizeable discount while still hinging on execution in EVs, software and cost control.

The upcoming launch of over 25 new models, including core segment EVs built on the advanced, flexible Mercedes-Benz Electric Architecture (MB.EA), positions Mercedes-Benz to capitalize on the global shift toward electric vehicles and premium electrification. This is expected to support future revenue growth and higher average selling prices. Strategic emphasis on proprietary digital platforms, notably the MB.OS operating system, is intended to enable Mercedes-Benz to generate high-margin, recurring revenue through over-the-air updates and connected services, which in turn is aimed at driving long-term improvement in operating margins and earnings.

Result: Fair Value of €55.92 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, softer guidance for 2026 revenue at Mercedes-Benz Group and ongoing China related margin pressure could quickly challenge the idea that the current discount is comfortable.
