Er jo kjedelig å sette trådpissere på ignore. Men til slutt er det bare å klikke Ja når man blir spurt om man er sikker på om man vil det.
Nåja. VW har presentert et revidert resolusjonsforslag til tysk godkjenningsmyndighet, som enda ikke har godkjent hva VW ønsker å gjøre for å rette opp feilen. Fortsatt i det blå hva som skal skje med bilene - og litt rart at Møller her hjemme mener det skal være greit å ordne. Så sent som 22. oktober måtte VWs sjef i Irland innrømme overfor samferdselskomitéen i nasjonalforsamlingen at Wolfsburg enda ikke har en løsning.
Som man ser nederst har VW litt penger å leke med, men det var vel ikke reparasjon av allerede solgte biler de hadde tenkt å bruke dem på ...
Første kvartal med tap på 15 år for gruppen. Og det de har satt til side er for lite.
Volkswagen will post Wednesday its first quarterly loss in 15 years after the automaker was rocked this summer with a scandal that affected 11 million vehicles and cost the company tens of billions of dollars in lost value already.
Bloomberg (via
Automotive News) reported that 10 analysts estimated that the company would post a $3.6 billion loss for the quarter ending Sept. 30.
Although the company said it reserved more than $7 billion to help pay for the scandal, many agree that the loss will be far greater — from $16 billion to $86 billion.
New Volkswagen CEO Matthias Müller will address investors for the first time during the earnings call. At stake is the company’s future profitability and appearance for the beleaguered automaker who has yet to define specifically how it will fix its cars worldwide.
“We understand that VW is in a very tricky spot,” Arndt Ellinghorst, a London-based analyst with Evercore ISI,
told Bloomberg. “Nevertheless, the company should be far more proactive and release more factual details concerning its recalls.”
In 2013, Volkswagen spent more on research and development than any other company — in any sector. This month, Müller said that the company would shed non-essential projects from its budget to keep the company afloat during the crisis.
According to Bloomberg, the company may have a sizable warchest to help weather the storm — at least temporarily.
At the end of June, Volkswagen had $23.7 billion in net liquid assets on hand, and an additional $12 billion in marketable securities it could sell if needed. The company also recently finished its settlement with Suzuki, which
bolstered its balance sheet by roughly $4 billion.
