Tariffs Give European Autos Worst Possible Start to Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
01/19

1350 GMT - It is difficult to see how 2026 could have started much worse for EU auto manufacturers, Citi analysts write. Auto stocks are down Monday on new 10% import tariffs announced by President Trump on key European auto-production countries. Assuming they are implemented, it would raise auto-import tariffs back to 25% from 15%. This could add a further 500 million-1 billion euros to annual tariff costs for German automakers, or 1.2 billion-2 billion euros if the rate rises to 25% by June 1, Citi says. Even more damaging might be the volatility and "investability" of European autos, Citi adds. Manufacturers might now have to guide more cautiously to avoid a repeat of 2025 profit warnings and uncertainty. Porsche, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW earnings are most exposed, in that order.
