FRANKFURT, Sept 21 (Reuters) – Shares in Europe’s top automaker Volkswagen continued to fall on Monday, following a profit warning that included a €6 billion ($6.88 billion) goodwill impairment at luxury sportscar division Porsche
Volkswagen on Friday cut its profit margin outlook for 2026 to 1% at the most, down from a range of 4% to 5.5%, blaming a sluggish Chinese market, higher provisions for retirements as well as the dire situation at Porsche.
Shares in Volkswagen were 2% lower at 0713 GMT, while Porsche’s stock fell 2.8%, extending Friday’s declines. Shares in Porsche SE – Volkswagen’s biggest shareholder, which also slashed its outlook on Friday – were 3.5% lower.
