Volkswagen AG (ISIN DE0007664039) stock was trading at EUR 68.58 at Lang & Schwarz on October 23, 2026, at 9:36 a.m. CEST, 1.15 percent below the EUR 69.38 Xetra close of October 22, 2026. The next major test is the Group's third-quarter report, scheduled for October 29, 2026.

Delivery scale meets earnings pressure

Volkswagen Group said on its investor-relations page that it had delivered 6.0 million vehicles through September 2026, while roughly 40 percent of its European order book consisted of fully electric models. The same update lists the nine-month report for October 29, 2026, giving investors a clear date for the next operating update.

The latest reported figures show why the results matter. According to NadirAlpha, first-half 2026 revenue stood at EUR 158.1 billion, compared with EUR 158.4 billion in the prior-year period. Operating profit fell to EUR 5.9 billion from EUR 6.7 billion, while net income declined to EUR 3.1 billion from EUR 4.5 billion.

What will the margin reveal?

The key issue for the October report is whether lower volumes and vehicle mix continue to weigh more heavily on profit than stable revenue supports. Volkswagen's first-half operating margin was 3.8 percent, and the company guided for full-year revenue growth between minus 3 percent and 0 percent, according to its investor page.

Chronology puts the pressure in context. On March 10, 2026, Volkswagen reported fiscal-year operating income of EUR 8.9 billion, according to NadirAlpha. On July 24, 2026, the half-year update showed EUR 158.1 billion in revenue and EUR 5.9 billion in operating profit. On October 12, 2026, Volkswagen reported 6.0 million deliveries through September on its investor-relations page.

Two dates frame the next update

Volkswagen's next reporting date is October 29, 2026, for the January-to-September report. The investor calendar also lists the UBS European Conference on November 11, 2026, both on the company's investor-relations page.

Stock remains below the prior close

For investors, the contrast is straightforward: vehicle deliveries provide scale, but the EUR 5.9 billion first-half operating result was 11.6 percent below the prior-year figure. Morningstar assigned Volkswagen a EUR 116.00 fair value estimate on October 22, 2026, while warning that weaker sales and margins could weigh on the third-quarter results, as Morningstar reported.
