WOLFSBURG, March 10 (Reuters) - Volkswagen VOWG_p.DE expects its dwindling profit margin to recover this year after a bruising 2025 hit by tariffs, tough competition from China and a costly shift towards electric.
The German auto group said it expects an operating margin of between 4.0 and 5.5% in 2026, after it stood at 2.8% in 2025.
Last year's margin came in slightly below an expected 2.9%, according to analysts polled by Visible Alpha.
