Summary

BMW’s chairman is pushing back against market turmoil, insisting the company’s Neue Klasse lineup is on track despite a recent profit warning that sent shares plummeting. Strong pre-orders signal optimism for both BMW and its suppliers, as the brand seeks to stay competitive amid rising pressure from Chinese automakers. Stock woes stem from China’s slowing demand and geopolitical headwinds, triggering analyst downgrades and sparking speculation that new CEO Milan Nedeljkovic may need to overhaul European production and accelerate global manufacturing closer to key markets like the U.S. and China. While Europe faces overproduction, the U.S. remains stable and vital, and the chairman still believes foreign brands can carve out space in China’s brutal price war — even as the company sells fewer cars there than it makes.
