Narrow-moat-rated BMW reported first-quarter diluted earnings per share of EUR 0.85, which includes a EUR 1.4 billion noncash provision recognized for the European Commission's antitrust investigation on diesel equipment. Excluding the provision, we calculate diluted earnings per share before special items of EUR 2.39. Including the provision, EUR 0.85 EPS represented a whooping EUR 0.35 miss compared with the sell-side consensus of EUR 1.20 and EUR 2.59 per share lower than a year ago. We think...

Narrow-moat-rated BMW reported third-quarter earnings per share before special items of EUR 2.12; this missed the sell-side consensus of EUR 2.31 by EUR 0.19 and was EUR 0.64 lower than a year ago. Group revenue improved by 5% compared with the prior year to EUR 24.7 billion on automotive unit volume that was nearly flat, up just 0.3% versus the third quarter of 2017. We estimate that excluding favorable euro/dollar currency exchange rates, revenue would have grown 4%. Headwinds including new, m...

On Oct. 8, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report that calls for faster electric vehicle and hybrid adoption as part of the actions needed to limit the effects of climate change. The report calls for emissions to be reduced 45% versus 2010 levels by 2030. The report will be a key topic at the Katowice Climate Change Conference in December, where governments from around the world will review the Paris agreement. We think the report's conclusions could lead to governments ...

We had already been using assumptions at the low end of management guidance, which resulted in only a slight ...

Over the next decade, battery electric vehicles will reach cost parity with internal combustion engines as battery costs decline. Additionally, battery innovations will increase driving range and shorten charging times such that EVs will no longer be an inferior product versus ICEs. Charging infrastructure, which dictates range capabilities, will be the regional wild card that will either spur or limit EV adoption. Through a massive investment by its SOEs, China plans to build the world's large...
