Refile: BUZZ-AUTO1 falls as investors question unchanged FY guidance
REFILE-BUZZ-AUTO1 falls as investors question unchanged FY guidance Removes extraneous word from headline.
** Shares in AUTO1 AG1G.DE fall around 10% as the unchanged FY 2026 guidance overshadows stronger-than-expected Q2 results
** "The focus today will be on why management have chosen to leave FY26 guidance unchanged at the half-year mark," Jefferies says
** J.P. Morgan echoes the comments, saying the unchanged guidance will be key debate: "This matters because consensus is already positioned toward the high end of the company’s FY26 unit range"
** Jefferies says growth in merchant and retail segments is "already comfortably ahead of both the FY guidance and consensus expectations"
** The German digital automotive platform reports Q2 unit sales rising 19.9%, while adjusted EBITDA jumps 38.4%
** Jefferies says every key metric lands low- to mid-single digits ahead of consensus
** Shares on track for their worst day since mid-March if losses persist
