BMW shares increased by more than 3% in the early afternoon in Europe on Wednesday as investors analysed the German carmaker’s latest recovery plans, which were presented with investors and analysts at its two-day Capital Market Day event on Tuesday and Wednesday.
This comes as German automakers attempt to re-establish profitability in the face of costs associated with the transition to electric vehicles, global supply disruptions, high energy prices, and tough competition from Chinese rivals.
BMW intends to increase profitability by simplifying its model lineup, reducing development delays, and collaborating more closely with suppliers. The carmaker’s new battery plant in Irlbach-Straßkirchen, Bavaria, will begin producing high-voltage batteries for the electric BMW i3 in October.
BMW has announced intentions to reduce the number of divisions and associated management posts by 20% by mid-2027 as part of the overall makeover. The business also intends to lower the number of vehicle variants while increasing the usage of artificial intelligence, including crash simulations and driver assistance.The automaker intends to increase its automotive operating margin to between 3% and 5% by 2028, then return to its long-term target of 8% to 10% by the beginning of the next decade, implying a long recovery.
