US EditionRenault Shares Tumble 17% After Guidance Cut
EUROPE, JUL 16 – Renault cut its 2025 operating margin forecast to 6.5% and free cash flow to €1-1.5 billion amid soft sales and strong competition from Chinese carmakers, shares fell 17%.
- Renault shares plunged 17% on July 15, 2025, marking their worst daily drop since March 2020 after the company cut its full-year guidance in Paris.
- The guidance cut followed weaker-than-expected June sales volumes amid a challenging European market and intensified competition from Chinese carmakers.
- Renault lowered its full-year operating margin forecast to about 6.5% from at least 7%, and slashed free cash flow estimates to 1 billion–1.5 billion euros from 2 billion euros.
- UBS analyst Michael Foundoukidis described the profit warning as a serious signal coming at an inopportune moment following the CEO’s exit, leading to a 10% reduction in their forecasts and accounting for 60% of the decline in the autos sector.
- Renault named Duncan Minto interim CEO recently, plans cost cuts in the second half, and expects some improvement, but analysts note ongoing market and leadership uncertainties.
