The Auto1 share has fallen by around 30% since early September following a surprise CFO departure, a weaker used-car market and an unsettling pre-close call. Management continues to confirm its unchanged 2026 forecasts of 940,000–1 million vehicles sold and €250–275 million adjusted EBITDA, as well as its long-term growth targets. Analysts have cut their estimates but still see price targets of €30–34, implying a doubling versus the current share price. » More on finanzen.net

UBS analyst Jo Barnet-Lamb cut his price target from €35.10 to €30.30 and stressed that AUTO1 must deliver the expected acceleration in the fourth quarter and in 2027 to regain confidence in its growth trajectory. » More on finanzen.net
