# BMW launches major job-cut plan and lowers forecasts

> BMW is launching a major restructuring with the elimination of around 8,000 jobs in Germany and 1,800 in China, while lowering its earnings forecasts for the second time. The automaker anticipates a charge of several billion euros linked to severance payments and the discontinuation of older electric models, in a context of net profit down 24.4% over the first nine months of 2026. BMW no longer rules out a loss for the 2026 fiscal year, despite pre-tax profit of more than 2 billion euros in the third quarter. The cuts are concentrated in Germany, with severance potentially exceeding 650,000 euros, while China accounts for around 1,800 eliminations; earnings warnings and the stock market reaction are mainly reported in Germany and China, with the French press and other markets analyzing the group's prospects.
