WintonsWorld EV Tests June 2026
Britain’s automotive industry has been seeking relief from electric vehicle sales mandates, but change has triggered claims of foul play from the nation’s EV enthusiasts.
BMW's share price is sliding after its third profit warning in three years, primarily due to severe challenges in China. The luxury automaker now forecasts 2026 profits of just 1-3%, down from 4-6%, and plans expanded cost-cutting measures. Intense competition from Chinese EV manufacturers, who are increasingly targeting the premium segment, is eroding BMW's once-lucrative market share. Analysts suggest drastic actions, including a potential restructuring of German manufacturing, may be necessary under new CEO Milan Nedeljkovic. While the upcoming "Neue Klasse" models offer a long-term positive outlook for cost reduction and margins, investors are advised against buying the dip until further strategic clarity emerges from the September Capital Markets Day. This warning also negatively impacts rivals like Mercedes and VW.
BMW shares saw a slight recovery after a severe profit warning, but a leading ratings agency downgraded its outlook to negative. This "existential howl" for BMW signals deep trouble for the European auto industry, particularly due to intense competition from Chinese manufacturers. BMW cut its 2026 profit forecast significantly, citing challenges in China and the broader APAC region. Experts warn BMW is a "canary in a coal mine," indicating a larger crisis for brands like VW, Stellantis, and Renault. Chinese automakers are not only dominating their home market but also aggressively expanding into Europe, building factories and increasing market share, forcing European companies to rethink their business models amid weak demand and the costly EV transition.
