The profit of the German automaker BMW in the first nine months of 2026 decreased by 35,2% compared to the same period in 2025. This is stated in the company's report.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to €5,2 billion—the lowest figure since 2020. Net profit for the January–September period reached €4,3 billion, down 24% from the previous year. Revenue fell by 7,3% to €92,7 billion.

Germany’s automotive industry has been in crisis in recent years. Initially triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation has been exacerbated since 2022 by a sharp rise in energy prices and increased competition from Chinese automakers. Additional negative factors include U.S. tariffs and the repercussions of the crisis in the Middle East.
