Global auto industry faces profit drop
The article discusses the decline in profits of global automobile manufacturing companies during the first half of 2026, despite stable revenues near the levels of the previous year. The average operating profit per vehicle decreased by approximately 16%, from $1,620 to $1,365, and total profits fell by 17.5% to around $41 billion. This reflects a deterioration in companies' ability to convert revenues into operating profits, due to pressures on profit margins and operational costs, amid increasing challenges such as slowing growth in China and industry restructuring worldwide.
