    Based on their Q3 2024 Financial Report (p. 23):

    The Volkswagen Group generated sales revenue of €237.3 (235.1) billion in the period from January to September 2024.

    The Volkswagen Group’s operating result amounted to €12.9 (16.2) billion in the first nine months of 2024. The operating return on sales was 5.4 (6.9)%.

    So ya, they are plenty profitable. The line just isn’t going up this year. Time to cut jobs.
