Volkswagen shares rise cash generation smashes targets

22nd Jan 2026 10:48

(Sharecast News) - Volkswagen's stock jumped in Frankfurt on Thursday after the German auto group reported cash flow and liquidity figures "significantly above" company guidance.

VW said net cash flow in the automotive division was around €6bn for the 2025 fiscal year, up from €5.0bn in 2024. The company had previously guided to around breakeven for net cash flow.

As a result, net liquidity in the automotive division rose to more than €34bn as of 31 December, up from €31.0bn at the end of the third quarter and ahead of the €30bn target.

"The positive deviation in net cash flow and net liquidity in the Automotive division is primarily attributable to lower working capital and lower-than-expected investments in capex and research and development," VW said in a brief statement released after markets closed on Wednesday.

The stock was up 4.9% at €103.80 by 1301 GMT.
