Volvo Cars Reports Smaller Than Expected Profit Decline in Q1, Cites US Market Challenges
Volvo Cars reported a smaller-than-expected decline in first-quarter profit, with operating profit at 1.6 billion crowns, despite an 11% sales drop. The company attributed the weaker-than-anticipated performance to cost savings and challenges in the US market, including subsidy reductions. CEO Hakan Samuelsson noted that the company is focusing on returning to growth in the second half of the year.
