VW issues another profit warning + Fresenius relies on organic growth + Current share price targets

The renewed VW profit warning $VOW (-0,47%) pushed the shares down by 2.0 percent. Volkswagen is facing major challenges, including restructuring measures and margin pressure in both Europe and China, Metzler analysts noted. They also see the possibility of a considerable dividend cut. In the wake of the Volkswagen profit warning, major shareholder Porsche SE also had to withdraw its outlook for the year as a whole. The share lost 2.9 percent, Porsche AG $P911 (+1,97%) fell by 4.3 percent, Mercedes-Benz $MBG (+0,17%) and BMW $BMW (+1,02%) lost 2.4 percent each.

The CEO of the healthcare group Fresenius SE $FRE (+0,62%) Michael Sen, is focusing primarily on organic growth for the future. Sen did not rule out takeovers of competitors and start-ups in principle. "However, we can grow very well organically with our current portfolio - in other words, without investing a lot of capital. Because we are simultaneously deleveraging," said Sen in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Fresenius has not seen the organic growth rates in sales that it has seen in the last one and a half years, almost two years.

I think this news about VW is excellent, as it offers good opportunities to buy more if the share price continues to fall.

I don't understand the discussion about dividend cuts at VW. A maximum of 30% of profits and that's it - another bank wants to get in cheaply.

I think that VW will go down the drain in the long term. Not nice but regrettable, but it can no longer be prevented. Not today, not tomorrow, but in the long term. I always liked the cars. But I think VW has missed the ravages of time.
