AUTO1

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. » Plus sur finanzen.net

The AUTO1 share dropped as much as 4.3% and was the weakest performer in the MDAX after analysts lowered their forecasts following a conference call about the upcoming quarterly results. Goldman Sachs cut EBITDA estimates for 2026 and 2027 but kept its rating at Buy and reduced the price target from €37 to €32. 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. » Plus sur finanzen.net

An analyst briefing ahead of the Q3 figures put AUTO1 shares under pressure and sent the price to its lowest level since April. JPMorgan cut its price target from €37 to €34 but kept the rating “overweight” and trimmed its forecasts for volumes, gross profit per vehicle and EBITDA through 2028 by up to 16%. Investors should expect lower earnings growth in the third quarter. AUTO1 will release its nine‑month figures on November 4. » Plus sur deraktionaer.de
