Market situation and challenges

However, the current market situation presents VW not only as a bearer of potential, but also as a company that is under pressure. The German automotive industry in particular is receiving negative reports about falling sales in China, where Porsche suffered a decline of over a quarter last year. This puts the group in a critical situation and requires an adaptation strategy in order to consistently emerge from the current market situation.

This is how stock prices are booming, which are influenced both by general market liquidity and by company-specific advertisements. However, experts announce an average price target of EUR 111.71, which indicates moderate expectations for future price developments.
