BMW after slump in profits: Is the turn in the new year?

München, Deutschland - BMW had to accept massive losses in 2024: the winnings dropped by shocking 37 percent to just 7.7 billion euros, while sales fell by 8.4 percent to 142.4 billion euros. The main causes for these burglaries are the declining demand in China, rising tariffs in the USA and difficulties with brake components from the supplier Continental, which temporarily led to delivery failures. According to Vol.at , the entire automotive industry feels the pressure: rising material costs, supply chain problems and high energy prices add the manufacturers.

Despite these worrying numbers, BMW remains carefully optimistic for 2025. Management expects that the input tax result will remain at the level of the previous year, with a profit margin between 5 and 7 percent. Easy growth in paragraph is forecast, especially for electric vehicles, of which 427,000 units were sold last year, which is almost a fifth of the entire production. Analysts point out that the slump in profits reflects a return to normal conditions after a record -breaking years. So erreichte BMW 2022 einen Rekordgewinn von 18,6 Milliarden Euro, deutlich über den aktuellen Werten., wie boerse-online.de Notice.

Industry expert Frank Schwope warns of persistent challenges: "The automotive industry has to adapt."
