As I flagged months ago, challenges around new car market not going away. At least nobody can say they weren't warned.
The company trying to blame the government is a bit of smoke and mirrors as the EV transition is global and nearly all non-Chinese manufacturers are facing similar pressures. Just look at Ford's results last night, Stellantis woes, even Honda/Nissan not immune.
Given pressures on cash levels and still not factoring in potential motor finance provisions, management decision to extend buybacks in addition to the a dividend looks riskier than ever.
