Volkswagen reports first-half $1.5-billion tariff hit, looks to accelerate cost-cutting efforts
Volkswagen VWAGY reported a €1.3-billion (US$1.5-billion) first-half hit from tariffs and cut its full-year sales and profit margin forecasts in the German carmaker's first assessment of the damage from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. Global automakers have booked billions of dollars of losses and some have issued profit warnings due to U.S. import tariffs. The European industry is also facing stiffening competition from China, and domestic regulations aimed at speeding up the electric vehicle transition. Volkswagen, Europe's biggest carmaker, now expects this year's operating profit margin between four per cent and five per cent, compared with a previous forecast of 5.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent. Full-year sales, earlier seen up to five per cent higher, are expected to be level with the previous year. In February: Volkswagen counts on talks to avoid trade conflict after Trump imposes tariffs Volkswagen shares dropped by as much as 4.6 per cent in early Friday trade, before recovering as the day progressed. They were one per cent higher at 13:05 GMT. Investors had largely anticipated a guidance cut, after the company held off on assessing the damage of tariffs in the previous quarter, and appeared calmed by assurances that the group's luxury brands Audi and Porsche would recover next year following heavy losses in the second quarter. CEO Oliver Blume told investors the company must accelerate its cost-cutting efforts in response to the tariffs. 'We need to shift our cost efforts into high gear and accelerate implementation. After all, we cannot assume that the tariff situation is only temporary,' Blume said. Volkswagen and its competitors are pressing European trade negotiators to strike a deal to reduce a 25 per cent U.S. tariff they have faced since April. EU diplomats have indicated that the bloc could be moving towards a broad 15 per cent tariff as it seeks to avoid a threatened 30 per cent levy from Aug. 1. A deal struck between the U.S. and Japan earlier this week raised hopes for a similar agreement for Europe, boosting carmakers' shares. EU says U.S. trade deal is within reach, while approving potential countermeasures Finance chief Arno Antlitz said Volkswagen's profit margin would roughly land in the middle of its guidance with a Japan-style deal, which had a 15 per cent tariff rate. He warned, however, that the clock was ticking on finding a deal. 'We are already in July, so the longer we go into the second half of the year, the more we tend to the lower end of the guidance,' he said. Antlitz declined to comment on price increases when pressed by investors on how the company planned to protect its margins against tariffs. Volkswagen reported an operating profit of €3.8-billion in the quarter ended June 30, down 29 per cent on the previous year, citing tariffs and restructuring costs, as well as higher sales of lower-margin all-electric models. While Volkswagen was able to boost deliveries globally by 1.5 per cent in the first six months of 2025, the group saw a decline of almost 10 per cent in deliveries to the United States. Hyundai Motor sees profit decline in second quarter, warns of bigger impact from U.S. tariffs North American sales revenue accounted for 18.5 per cent of the carmaker's global sales in the first half. Car sales data for June highlighted a broader slowdown in Europe's struggling auto sector – and showed Volkswagen among the laggards as the company undergoes a major overhaul to cut over 35,000 jobs by the end of the decade. Porsche and Audi are particularly exposed to U.S. tariffs given they have no production there, and rely heavily on exports. In the second quarter, Porsche's operating result plunged by over 90 per cent to €154-million and Audi's by 64 per cent to 550-million. 'For both companies, Audi and Porsche, we are expecting that we will touch the bottom this year with positive momentum from 2026 onwards,' Blume said.

Intel slumps as potential foundry exit deepens investor gloom
Intel shares sank eight per cent on Friday after the company warned of exiting chip manufacturing if it fails to secure a major customer, a potentially drastic move by the new CEO to cut spending and revive the struggling American icon. Lip-Bu Tan said on Thursday he would further shrink Intel's workforce, halt work on two plants in Europe and slow another in Ohio, binning his ousted predecessor's strategy that relied on building costly facilities to restore its manufacturing edge. The plan for such extreme measures follows a surprise second-quarter adjusted loss and a forecast for a bigger-than-expected loss in the third quarter. The weakening financials pointed to more trouble for Intel after years of mismanagement eroded its PC and datacenter market share and left it with almost no presence in the AI market. The disclosures 'revive long-unanswered questions on the chances of success for its foundry business the path forward is if Intel does not develop leading edge manufacturing capability,' TD Cowen analyst Joshua Buchalter said. 'It's hard to understate the significance of this potential outcome in the context of the history of the semiconductor industry.' As part of its new strategy, Intel may reserve the advanced 18A manufacturing process for its products and proceed with its next-generation 14A only if it lands a major external customer commits, Tan told analysts on the post-earnings call. The move could put US$100 billion in assets at risk and deepen its dependence on rival TSMC, adding strain to margins already running at about half their historical highs. 'Intel Foundry is a big story and currently people are questioning how successful 18A is. A failure in 18A will be a broken story,' said Hendi Susanto, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. Intel was set to lose nearly $8 billion in market value, if current losses hold. Its current valuation of around $100 billion is less than half of Advanced Micro Devices' AMD.O more than $260 billion. The stock has lagged far behind rivals this year, rising 12.8 per cent compared with AI darling Nvidia's 30 per cent gain and AMD's 34 per cent. Intel trades at a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio of 42.55 versus 33.90 for Nvidia and 32.12 for AMD. Since taking the helm in March, Tan has divested businesses, laid off employees and redirected resources as part of his strategic reset to revive the embattled chipmaker. 'There are no more blank checks,' he wrote in a memo to employees on Thursday.
