RENAULT Lower Q3-18 sales perf. than expected notably on volumes & sales to partners

We assume Q4-18 could remain challenging for the group with still low visibility in Europe after the pre-buying impact observed over Q3. Demand in emerging markets should remain hard to predict due to high volatility, yet the group should still benefit from good growth in Russia and Brazil where it has solid market shares. Market growth assumption was revised down from +3% expected at end of June 2018 to +2% with most of deterioration made on growth in China (+2% now vs. +5% expected before).

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
