BMW has reduced its profit guidance for a second time this year and now expects to deliver fewer vehicles than previously planned, DIE ZEIT reported on Tuesday. The German automaker's revised outlook marks another downward adjustment in 2026, according to the outlet.
Coverage of the announcement pointed to a cost-reduction program as a factor behind the profit warning, WELT reported. Handelsblatt also noted that the company had adjusted its forecast twice within the year. Finanzen.net described the revision as a fresh test for BMW's share price.
SZ.de reported that BMW could even post a loss on its car business this year, a sign of how far the outlook has shifted. The reports did not specify the size of the guidance cut or the number of deliveries now expected.
The revision adds to pressure on BMW as it navigates a difficult period for the auto industry. The second cut in a single year suggests the company's earlier assumptions no longer hold, though the available reports do not detail which markets or models are most affected.
Investors will be watching how the market responds to the revised guidance and whether BMW provides further detail on the cost program and its delivery targets.
