Jan 22 (Reuters) - Shares in Volkswagen rose 5.6% after Europe's largest carmaker on Wednesday reported better-than-expected 2025 net cash flow in its automotive division.
Net cash flow for the year came in at around 6 billion euros ($7.01 billion), which was 1 billion euros higher than the previous fiscal year, compared with the company's expectations of around zero net cash flow.
The stock rose to 104.40 euros at 0840 GMT, set for its biggest daily gain in six months, if gains hold.
While management had already hinted at potential upside to the guidance, the magnitude surprises, analysts at Jefferies said in a note.
