Volkswagen's Results Solid Once Porsche Charges Excluded -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-14

0750 GMT - Volkswagen is performing reasonably well in terms of underlying profitability, excluding about 5.1 billion euros in noncash charges tied to Porsche, Bernstein analysts write in a note. Deliveries rose 1% on year in the first nine months, with battery-electric vehicle sales up 42% and making up 11% of total deliveries, they say. Western Europe remains the main growth region, while China and the U.S. lag, the analysts say. Cash flow stayed positive and is returning to normal levels despite higher capital expenditure and research and development spending, Bernstein writes. External pressures should ease as the tariff hit looks less severe than the 1.5 billion euros it booked in the second quarter, Bernstein says. Shares rise 2.1%. (william.gray@wsj.com)
