Volkswagen posts 5.8 billion euro loss in third quarter
Volkswagen is heading towards its first annual net loss since the diesel scandal, driven by a €5.8 billion net loss in Q3 2026. Key factors include a €6.4 billion goodwill impairment on Porsche, a €1 billion write-down on Chinese subsidiaries, restructuring costs, and margin pressure from the shift to electric vehicles. Revenue fell 6.3% to €75.3 billion, and deliveries dropped 14.3% overall, with a sharp 38.5% decline in China. Sales in China fell over 30% to 1.38 million vehicles in the first nine months. The company lowered its full-year operating margin forecast to at most 1%, down from 4.0-5.5%, and expects special costs of around €10 billion. Excluding special effects, operating profit would have been €8.8 billion, with net cash flow more than doubling to €4.4 billion. A €31 billion cost-cutting program is planned, but restructuring strategy remains disputed.
