Is the purchase of Volkswagen stocks a worthwhile investment for financiers?
In the ever-evolving landscape of the German automotive industry, many automakers are undergoing significant transformations, causing charts to price in consolidation. This turbulent period offers a potential buying opportunity for new investors, particularly in the case of Volkswagen.
However, it's important to note that there are conflicts of interest for key figures in the industry. The Managing Editor-in-Chief of the publication and the CEO and majority shareholder of Boersenmedien AG hold positions in Volkswagen. This raises questions about impartiality, but it doesn't necessarily negate the investment prospects.
For existing investors, selling might not be the best move yet. The strength of Volkswagen is expected to be regained due to new models and an improved position in China. Among the key upcoming models are the VW Tayron SUV, the seventh-generation Transporter T7, the all-new 2025 VW T-Roc, and the Golf 4Motion all-wheel-drive returning in spring 2025. These models emphasise electrification, advanced technology, and expanded SUV offerings, aiming to strengthen VW's position in electric and hybrid vehicle markets while covering popular segments from compact cars to large transporters.
In addition, fully electric models like the ID Cross (launching 2026) and a revamped ID4 possibly renamed ID Tiguan are planned. These models underscore Volkswagen's commitment to a sustainable future.
Despite the stock's recent fall and lower price targets, analysts maintain a buy recommendation for Volkswagen. However, caution is advised for investors if the company fails to meet analysts' expectations in the coming quarters. If Volkswagen underperforms, its stock could remain in lower price regions below 100 euros in the long term.
In conclusion, while there are risks involved, the potential buying opportunity in Volkswagen's stock should not be overlooked. Investors are advised to closely monitor the company's performance and make informed decisions based on the latest developments.
