BMW Cuts Outlook After Profit Drop
BMW reported a nearly 15% decline in Q3 2026 net profit to €1.45 billion, driven by a 25% sales drop in China. The automaker issued its second profit warning of the year, cutting its full-year automotive EBIT margin forecast to between -0.5% and +0.5%, down from 1-3%, citing expanded portfolio, accelerated job cuts (costing around €1 billion), and earlier phase-out of older electric models. CEO Milan Nedeljković, who has now lowered guidance twice, expects deliveries to decline by 5-10% and maintains a free cash flow target of at least €2.5 billion. The company’s results were slightly worse than Mercedes but better than Audi and Volkswagen. Q3 results are due November 4, 2026; shares fell about 3% in after-hours trading.
