As of '25 DICV & Chinawere incorporated into Mercedes-Benz. As a result, the formation of the JV & ultimate listingwill effectively lead to the dissolution of Trucks Asia. We estimate that EBIT will fall by c5%,but group margins will increase by 50bps.Implications for valuation.Although the logic of higher margins = higher multiple isn'tstraightforward, in our view, there is clear evidence that this dynamic exists. Within industrials,we estimate a 0.8x uplift to the average PE based on margins +100bps higher. This could implya c0.4x PE uplift (currently c8x) due to higher margins. This would be partly offset by lowerearnings, however, NPAT would include equity accounted earnings of the JV.Please see important disclosure information on pages 4 - 9 of this report.This report is intended for Jefferies clients only.
