Mercedes 2026 Outlook Weak

Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Adam Chamberlain warned 2026 is shaping up tougher than expected, citing geopolitical uncertainty, high auto loan rates, and economic concerns. The company raised prices 1.3% amid tariff cost pressures and is investing $4B in its Alabama plant through 2030, targeting U.S. sales growth from 303,200 to 400,000 vehicles.
