Volkswagen Q2 profit falls short
Volkswagen Group announced that its operating profits in the second quarter of 2026 reached €3.5 billion, a decrease of approximately 10% compared to the previous year, falling short of expectations which had indicated €4.3 billion. The company also forecasted a decline in sales revenue of up to 3% for the year, compared to its earlier estimate of growth reaching 3%. This comes at a time when the company is undergoing a radical restructuring, with studies underway to potentially cut up to 100,000 jobs to address the profit decline caused by rising tariff costs and intense competition from Chinese brands. The company's stock dropped by 3% at the start of trading, bringing its decline since the beginning of the year to around 30%.
