Volkswagen Capacity Cuts Grab Attention -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-30 16:13

0813 GMT - Volkswagen's plans to cut manufacturing capacity on an expectation of little to no sales growth to 2030 will likely grab investors' attention the most, Bernstein analysts write. VW will reduce global group production capacity to 9 million units from 10 million. The German automaker's first-quarter results missed Visible Alpha consensus on revenue and EBIT, but positively surprised on free cash flow, the bank says. The company had warned that it would book a charge in relation to the ending of production of the ID.4 in the U.S., and this has now been quantified as a 500 million-euro headwind in the quarter. After printing a 3.3% margin in the quarter, large sequential improvements will need to made to achieve the 2026 guidance of 4%-5.5%, it adds. Shares rise 0.2%. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
