audius Aktie

audius reports total output of €58.5m (+23%) and an EBITDA of €3.3m for the first half, but shows a pronounced slowdown and declining EBITDA in the second quarter. Management cited below‑plan contributions from some projects and delayed revenue recognition from an order backlog of €103.1m as reasons. As a result, the 2026 forecast was cut from >€125m to around €120m and the EBITDA expectation was lowered from >€10m to €8–9m. SMC‑Research downgraded estimates and the price target (€27.60 → €23.30) but kept a “buy” rating, viewing the growth as delayed rather than finished. » More on finanzen.net

An internal paper reportedly lists possible plant closures, with the Audi plant in Neckarsulm — employing around 15,000 people — named as a candidate. The reports were triggered by news that Volkswagen is tightening its savings plan and may cut up to 100,000 jobs instead of 50,000. Politicians and works councils are demanding swift clarity and reject the closure of the site; the company has not yet made a decision. Under a future agreement running until 2033, dismissals for operational reasons at the site are currently excluded. » More on t-online.de
