(new: Share price reversal, price assessment, Jefferies commentary)
FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - Shares of Auto1 suffered significant losses in Xetra trading on Wednesday, erasing the notable gains seen in pre-market activity. After dropping to their lowest level since April 2025, the stock was recently down 6.8 percent at just over €18.
An attempt to establish a bottom, following already steep losses from late January to mid-February, has thus far failed. In 2026, the online used car dealer's shares rank among the biggest losers in the MDax, having fallen by more than a third.
The shares had already been weak ahead of the release of the business report, as the market expected the outlook to prioritize growth over results, wrote Jefferies analyst Giles Thorne. This is exactly what happened.
However, the consensus for operating results still sits about 5 percent above the midpoint of the target range./ajx/stk/zb
