European Auto-Parts Suppliers Face Headwinds as Carmakers Trim Production -- Market Talk

Dow Jones09-29

1147 GMT - The near-term outlook for European auto-parts suppliers is clouded by lower manufacturing at some automakers, Citi analyst Ross MacDonald writes. Several European parts producers have also cut production in recent days and weeks, the bank says. Some of this reflects the impact of a cyber-related production freeze at Jaguar Land Rover, worth around 1,000 units a day, he says. However, Stellantis and Volkswagen also appear to be cutting some fourth-quarter shift patterns and production lines for several days to manage supply into year-end in a difficult EU market, he adds. Auto manufacturers appear reluctant to offer further discounts to shift product, Citi says. S&P could revise its light vehicle production outlook in mid-October, right before third-quarter earnings season, according to Citi. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
