Porsche Keeps Its 24-26% Annual EV Target Despite Slower First Half $VWAGY https://eletric-vehicles.com/vw-group/porsche/porsche-keeps-its-24-26-annual-ev-target-despite-slower-first-half/

$VWAGY I like the European auto industry now.

Porsche announced plans to cut a total of 9,000 jobs by 2035 as the luxury automaker restructures amid weak demand, slowing EV adoption, and intense competition from Chinese manufacturers. The latest agreement, reached after months of negotiations with labor representatives, includes 5,000 additional job reductions through attrition and voluntary departures, avoiding forced layoffs. These cuts come on top of 3,900 previously announced reductions and another 500 linked to subsidiary closures under CEO Michael Leiters. Leiters was tasked with overhauling Porsche after a sharp decline in sales in China, once one of the company’s most profitable markets, and setbacks in its electric-vehicle strategy. The move reflects broader pressure across Germany’s auto sector, with rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW also cutting costs while navigating the transition to EVs and dealing with competitive and tariff-related challenges. $POAHY $VWAGY

$RIVN is heading into a major test with Q2 earnings due July 30. Operationally, the quarter was stronger than expected: 12,194 deliveries, supported by growth in R1, commercial vans and the first R2 deliveries. Rivian consequently raised its full-year delivery guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles. The concern is dilution. The recent offering of 75 million shares strengthens liquidity and helps fund Rivian’s expansion plans, but existing shareholders are paying part of that price. Key items to watch: R2 production ramp, automotive gross margin, cash burn and progress within the $VWAGY joint venture. $TSLA also remains relevant as a benchmark for EV demand and pricing pressure. Not financial advice. Always do your own research.

$VWAGY Volkswagen reported weaker-than-expected second-quarter profits on Friday and scrapped hope for sales revenue growth in 2026, as the German auto giant lays the groundwork for a radical overhaul of the business. Europe’s biggest carmaker posted an operating profit of 3.5 billion euros ($3.98 billion) for the April to June period, down nearly 10% from a year ago and missing expectations of 4.3 billion euros, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus.

$MGM $ESALY $PSKY $VWAGY $META TOP 5 WEEKEND STORIES: 1) MGM Resorts (MGM) has been in talks over a potential deal with Barry Diller's People Incorporated (PPLI) after the media mogul offered to acquire the casino giant, the Wall Street Journal's Jessica Toonkel and Lauren Thomas report, citing people familiar with the matter. MGM established a special board committee and lined up advisers to help evaluate the acquisition offer, the authors say, noting that MGM believes Diller's offer undervalues the company. 2) Eisai (ESAIY) and Biogen (BIIB) announced that new data presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference, AAIC, 2026 in London support that the LEQEMBI subcutaneous autoinjector, SC-AI, formulation offers efficacy and safety comparable to intravenous administration for people with early Alzheimer's disease. The data was featured during the "Lecanemab Subcutaneous Formulation in Early Alzheimer's Disease: Emerging Clinical Evidence and Practical Use Considerations" Developing Topics Session. 3) The office of Oregon's attorney general said it has withdrawn its court motion to delay Paramount's (PSKY) proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. (WBD), Reuters reports. In a statement to Reuters, Oregon Department of Justice said, "Paramount made it clear that they weren't going to comply with the investigative demand, and that they think they're above the law. We're not going to let them waste Oregonians' resources on these games... We've withdrawn the motion to consider our next steps." 4) Volkswagen (VWAGY) CEO Oliver Blume is facing issues with its overhaul after failing to win initial backing from the supervisory board, Christoph Rauwald of Bloomberg reports. Blume's plans for additional job cuts, plant closures in Germany, and a possible carve-out of the VW brand was rejected by 12 of the 19 supervisory board members. Without the board's support, the prospects for this restructuring plan are uncertain. 5) Meta's (META) new AI detection tool Muse Image has failed to identify some of its own AI-generated images after they were cropped, Hardik Vyas and Seana Davis of Reuters reports, citing an analysis by the journal.

$BB not sure on this source, but it's the only one I could read without a subscription. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/hj9ja2xngx#google_vignette I've posted before about the share and ownership structure of VW. Fascinating stuff, or really boring, if you don't care about this info. But, that previous article, the deep dive into its structure struck me as off - it wasn't new news, so why now. This might be why. Volkswagen $VWAGY will not be the same company it was, or as you know it today. As Bob says; the times, they are a changing.

BMW and Volkswagen posted weaker global vehicle sales in the second quarter as China's auto market continued to deteriorate, with fierce competition from domestic EV makers led by BYD and the country's prolonged property crisis weighing heavily on demand. BMW and Mini sales in China plunged 30%, while Volkswagen deliveries in the country dropped 37%, overshadowing stronger results in Europe and North America. The weak China performance capped a difficult week for German automakers after Porsche and Mercedes-Benz also reported declining deliveries. Volkswagen is pushing ahead with a broad restructuring plan aimed at improving efficiency, including cutting up to half of its model lineup after its supervisory board rejected more aggressive proposals for deeper job cuts and additional plant closures. $BMWYY $VWAGY

Volkswagen is considering cutting its model lineup by as much as 50% as part of a broad cost-cutting effort following a tense supervisory board meeting that failed to approve deeper workforce reductions. The move is intended to simplify the group's portfolio, reduce development complexity, and focus investment on its most profitable vehicle segments across brands including Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Skoda, and commercial vehicles. The proposal follows reports that CEO Oliver Blume pushed to double planned job cuts to 100,000 positions and close four German plants, but faced strong resistance from labor representatives and politicians. Volkswagen has already agreed to eliminate more than 35,000 jobs in Germany by 2030, though management argues that worsening conditions in China, weak European demand, and U.S. tariffs affecting Audi and Porsche require additional restructuring. $VWAGY

Renault, Nissan, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis (formerly Peugeot-Citroën) secured a major legal victory in the U.K. on Friday after the High Court rejected most of the key allegations in the British phase of the Dieselgate emissions litigation. The court ruled that, in most cases, the emissions-control strategies used in the vehicles examined did not constitute illegal defeat devices, significantly narrowing the scope of claims against the automakers. While all five companies have consistently denied wrongdoing, a separate trial scheduled for October will determine whether any compensation should be awarded to the 1.6 million claimants seeking damages in the U.K. The ruling is expected to substantially reduce the potential financial exposure for the manufacturers, which had faced claims that could have reached billions of pounds. $F $VWAGY $NSANY $MBGYY $STLA
