Analyst target cuts and market pressure on September 25, 2026
HSBC cut its price targets for Mercedes and Volkswagen on September 24, while BMW was downgraded to Hold from Buy. As Finanznachrichten reported, the analysts cited European automakers' lost market share in China and argued that manufacturers needed simpler structures.
Oil prices and market interest rates had weighed on German equities in the preceding session, according to Finanznachrichten. The September 25 rebound in the DAX did not lift Mercedes above its opening level on a sustained basis. The 52-week low therefore remained a central reference for the session.
