In the first quarter of 2025, the profit of Volkswagen decreased by 40.6 percent

According to the official report, since the beginning of this year, the German concern has earned 2.18 billion euros after tax deduction. Brand leaders associated the records compared to the same period last year with the duties introduced by the American administration.

According to Volkswagen forecasts, the company’s operating profit at the beginning of 2025 was supposed to be 6.5 percent. However, now the leadership of the concern expects that the indicators of the whole year will be on the lower border of the forecast. Thus, the Germans run the risk of issuing one of the worst years in profit in the history of existence.
