# BMW launches major job-cut plan and lowers forecasts

> BMW has announced the cutting of 8,000 jobs in Germany, with severance payments potentially exceeding €650,000, and around 1,800 jobs in China, against a backdrop of deteriorating results. The automaker has lowered its forecasts for the second time and anticipates a charge of several billion euros linked to severance payments and the discontinuation of older electric models. Over the first nine months of 2026, its profit fell 24.4% and it no longer rules out a loss for the year, while expecting a slight increase in the share of electric vehicles. The job cuts directly concern Germany and China, while the press in other countries covering the story, such as France, the United States and the United Kingdom, is mainly following the earnings revisions and the stock market reaction.
