Even Porsche did not be spared the disaster for sales of sales due to Trump’s tariffs

The tariff war has made it difficult for all automakers, and even Porsche has not been harmed. The German company had problems even before Donald Trump’s 5 % tariffs on imported US imports, and are now clarifying the issue of the first quarter of the year.

In short, all sales figures have declined and some are very bad. According to the report, the company’s automotive dividend decreased by 4.9 percent, and Porsche has generally decreased by 4.9 percent. Operational sales rate dropped from 4.9 percent to 4.9 percent and net profit has fallen € 5 million.

According to the company’s statement, these figures are global statistics due to political uncertainty generally due to US business policies. This has led Porsche to revise the year of year 2 and reduce its revenue by between € 1 and € 5 million. Past forecasts showed € 1 to € 5 million. According to this prediction, the profit margin will also be reduced to 4.9 percent, which is about half the previous forecast. These statistics will not lead to bankruptcy, but it will undoubtedly be a huge loss to them.

The future will probably get worse. According to Reuters reports of US tariffs that began in April; They are only included in Porsche’s forecasts until May. The financial manager of the company, JoChen Breckner, who took charge of the February 6, told reporters that Porsche’s work in the midst of April and May, has been affected by $ 5 million due to tariffs.

So far, there has been no change in the pricing of Porsche cars due to tariffs. The company has increased imports to the United States to store more cars before imposing 5 % tariffs, but warned that prices will rise if the tariffs remain the same. “We see a very difficult and special situation,” said Jochen Breckner.

At this moment, it is unclear how Porsche will apply rising prices. Prior to this, the Porsche 4 has seen a price increase for this year, but it is unlikely that the specific buyers of the car will be reluctant to buy as prices rise. The main damage to the price increase due to tariffs is likely to be the buyers of Porsche’s high -end chassis (SUV) and will reduce sales figures.
