Is the Volkswagen profit slump already priced into VOW3.DE?

Partly. The share trades below the 50 and 200 day averages and at a low P/E and P/B. That suggests a lot of bad news is in the price. Still, soft momentum and execution risk on cost cuts could prolong discounts until guidance and cash conversion improve.

Why does Oliver Blume receive a bonus during the Volkswagen profit slump?

His bonus is linked to net cash flow, not operating profit. Volkswagen prioritized liquidity and cash conversion as transformation goals. Strong cash flow triggered the payout, even as EBIT fell. Investors should track working capital, capex, and free cash flow to judge if the incentive structure aligns with shareholder outcomes.

What could reverse the Volkswagen profit slump in 2026?

Clear cost savings, better model mix, disciplined EV pricing, and tighter operations could lift margins. Stabilizing European demand and steady China earnings would help. Most important is converting revenue into sustained free cash flow, which would support dividends and reduce leverage concerns.

What levels should traders watch on VOW3.DE now?

Support sits around €91 to €88 near Keltner and Bollinger lower bands. Resistance appears near €98.71 at the middle band and around €101.37 at the 50 day average. ATR at 2.80 suggests sizing entries carefully and respecting stops if momentum fails to turn.
