Porsche, Aston Martin hike US prices as hopes for tariff sweeteners fade
Porsche, Aston Martin flag U.S. price hikes US-EU trade deal imposes 15% tariffs, averts larger trade war Mercedes, Porsche cool hopes of auto specific trade deals By Rachel More, Alessandro Parodi and Shashwat Awasthi BERLIN, - European luxury carmakers including Porsche and Aston Martin have surged ahead with U.S. price hikes, which could point the way for bigger brands to follow in their wake as companies pass on the cost of tariffs. The United States and Europe reached a trade deal that will see EU-made cars hit with a 15% tariff from August, lower than once threatened but far higher than the 2.5% rate before U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade offensive this year. On Wednesday, Volkswagen's luxury brand Porsche said it had raised U.S. prices by between 2.3% and 3.6% in July, with no plans for now to establish a U.S. production presence - a move that would let it avoid the levies. "This is not a storm that will pass," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said after the company cut its full-year profit target and flagged a $462 million hit from tariffs in the first half. "We continue to face significant challenges around the world." U.S. tariffs have pummelled global automakers, forcing companies such as GM, Volkswagen, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz to book billions of dollars of losses, issue profit warnings, slash forecasts and raise prices. Ford Motor, which boasts domestic production for around 80% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S., said on Wednesday that second-quarter results took an $800 million hit from tariffs and higher U.S. levies would likely cost more than expected for the year. Japanese carmaker Nissan reported a $535 million quarterly loss on Wednesday, impacted by U.S. tariffs, restructuring and lower sales volumes. British sports-car maker Aston Martin said it had made incremental price increases in the United States since last month, issuing a profit warning based on the U.S. tariffs impact and prolonged suppressed Asian demand. ADDITIONAL COSTS While bigger carmakers have so far held off, other sectors have seen price hikes as companies have looked to pass on the additional cost of tariffs. Analysts said larger carmakers could take similar steps in the second half of the year. "Into H2, we are looking to gain additional visibility with regards to the ability of Mercedes-Benz and the rest of the premium OEMs to increase prices in the U.S. in order to offset the impact of tariffs," J.P. Morgan said in a note. European carmakers are also getting less optimistic that they could seal extra sector-specific tariff reductions, resigned to dealing with the 15% rate. Mercedes CEO Ola Kaellenius told analysts on Wednesday that the group was assuming tariffs would remain at 15%, throwing cold water on hopes companies may be able to negotiate individual deals. "For all intents and purposes, that global deal for now is it," said Kaellenius, also president of Europe's car lobby ACEA. Any side deals were "very uncertain". Volkswagen had said last week it was hoping investment commitments could help it negotiate lower U.S. tariffs. But Porsche CEO Blume, also head of VW, suggested there would not be a separate U.S. deal for the automotive sector. "I agree with Ola Kaellenius' assessment that there will not be a separate automotive deal," Blume said. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Porsche trims outlook as tariffs add to 'storm' of challenges
Volkswagen's embattled luxury brand Porsche cut its full-year profitability target on Wednesday after the EU's trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump and reported a 400-million-euro ($462 million) hit from tariffs in the first half. The burden of tariffs on car imports to the United States only added to Porsche's woes, as it undergoes a costly restructuring while facing weakness in its key market China and a sluggish transition to electric cars. "We continue to face significant challenges around the world. And this is not a storm that will pass," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. Taking into account the newly agreed tariff of 15 per cent from August 1, the German carmaker expects group sales this year in the range of 37 to 38 billion euros, in line with its previous forecast, and a return on sales of between 5 and 7 per cent, down from a previously expected 6.5-8.5 per cent range. Countermeasures such as price adjustments are included in that outlook as Porsche seeks to mitigate the damage, the company said. Group figures released last week showed Porsche's operating profit collapsing by 91 per cent year on year in the second quarter, to 154 million euros. In February, Porsche announced an additional 1,900 job cuts over the next four years but said it cannot announce any forced redundancies under a location safeguarding agreement valid until 2030. On Wednesday, Porsche said its management was "resolutely pushing ahead with extensive measures to rescale and recalibrate the company", with negotiations with employee representatives to begin in the second half of the year. In the first half, Porsche booked special expenses for the company's realignment of around 200 million euros and around 500 million euros for battery activities.

Mercedes, Porsche Cut Forecasts as US Tariffs Hammer German Cars
Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Porsche AG scaled back their profit expectations for the year, underscoring the toll President Donald Trump's trade war is taking on some of Europe's largest luxury-car makers. The two German manufacturers on Wednesday flagged the twin pressures of new US tariffs and intensifying competition in China, where an electric-vehicle price war is undermining demand for pricier models. Mercedes now expects its carmaking margin to slide as low as 4%, from at least 6% previously, as the duties weigh on pricing and sales. Porsche, which lacks a US factory, cut its outlook for the third time this year after Trump's deal on Sunday with the European Union slapped 15% tariffs on autos imported from the bloc. Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Plc also walked back forecasts on Wednesday, a day after Stellantis NV warned that the US duties will weigh on the Jeep maker's already struggling North American business. The mounting trade barriers are adding to a structural shift in China, where a fierce EV price war led by local brands including BYD Co. is eroding margins. Porsche and Mercedes have struggled to gain traction in the world's biggest auto market with their more premium models like the Taycan and the EQS, the battery-powered version of Mercedes' flagship S-Class limousine. Meanwhile, Chinese automakers such as BYD and Geely are pushing into Europe's stagnant car market. 'We continue to face significant challenges around the world,' Porsche Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume said. 'And this is not a storm that will pass.' The sports-car maker controlled by Volkswagen AG is trying to get back on its feet by replacing several top managers, slashing costs further — including through job cuts — and adding more combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid models. The US recently overtook China as Porsche's single biggest market, but the company has no local factory and imports all of the cars it sells there from Europe. One of several options being considered as part of parent Volkswagen's US production expansion is final assembly of Porsche models there, Bloomberg previously reported. Mercedes plans to shift production of the GLC SUV to the US to offset the charges. For Mercedes, the headwinds are undermining a strategy initiated in 2022 to bolster profitability by shifting further upmarket. The company is prioritizing its most lucrative offerings — such as Maybach limousines, AMG performance models and the G-Wagon — while scaling back lower-margin entry-level cars like the compact A-Class. But the US duties and the poor China performance are weighing on Mercedes' pricing and sales, and the company warned that group revenue for 2025 will come in significantly below last year's level. In the second quarter, Mercedes' automaking margin dropped to 5.1% — well below levels associated with the luxury push started by CEO Ola Källenius. The company also flagged weaker demand for vans and declining revenue in its mobility services division as drags on performance. Mercedes shares declined as much as 2% in Frankfurt. The stock is down around 1% this year. Porsche rose 2.3% as of 10:12 a.m. local time as analysts pointed to better-than-expected revenue and cash flow. The company's shares are still down more than a fifth this year. Porsche flagged that its return on sales for the year could slide as low as 5%, having previously targeted at least 6.5%. The updated forecast includes the US tariff hit and roughly €1.3 billion of costs related to the brand's strategic reset. Mercedes and Porsche are among automakers most exposed to trade friction. They faced a 27.5% levy on vehicles exported from the EU to the US for much of the second quarter. Mercedes also exports SUVs built at its Alabama plant to China, where they incurred duties exceeding 100% before a mid-May trade truce reduced the rate to about 35%. The German company earlier this year withdrew its guidance in response to Trump's trade moves and on Wednesday reinstated it. Without the impact of tariffs, Mercedes' carmaking margin would remain within the prior 6% to 8% guidance range, the company said. Profitability also got hit by restructuring measures, including a voluntary redundancy program for back-office staff and the sale of its van operations in Argentina.
