Caesars Entertainment misses Q2 earnings expectations, shares edge lower
Investing.com -- Audi lowered its full-year outlook on Monday, pointing to rising U.S. import tariffs and costs tied to its ongoing restructuring efforts.
The Volkswagen-owned premium brand now expects revenue to fall between €65 billion and €70 billion, down from its previous forecast of €67.5 billion to €72.5 billion.
It also revised its operating margin guidance to a range of 5% to 7%, compared to the earlier estimate of 7% to 9%.
Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p) shares rose more than 2% Monday despite the outlook cut.
Audi said it is still evaluating the outcome of the recently concluded trade agreement between the United States and the European Union.
During a call with reporters, Chief Financial Officer Jurgen Rittersberger noted that Audi is also working to determine the final tariff levels for vehicles built in Mexico, where it produces the Q5 SUV—its best-selling model in the U.S.
The downgrade from Audi follows a similar move by parent company Volkswagen, which also trimmed its full-year guidance last week.
Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said last week that Audi is set to “hit a low point this year before seeing positive momentum from 2026 onwards.”
