FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Continental AG expects a “high double-digit million-euro” hit from U.S. tariffs in the second half of 2025, it said on Wednesday, adding this already factored in a retroactive cut to 15% as of August.
The German automotive supplier, in a summary of a regular call with analysts and investors ahead of quarterly results, also said winter order books looked promising.
Third-quarter sales at the group’s key tyre division are expected to remain stable year-on-year, Continental said, adding the profit margin at the unit would come in slightly closer to the lower end of the full-year guidance.
For its tyres division, Continental expects and adjusted operating profit margin of 12.5% to 14.0% in 2025.
