AFTER two years of significant underperformance, the European automotive sector is finally showing signs of a turnaround. Since the start of 2024, the Stoxx Europe 600 Automobiles & Parts Index has underperformed the Stoxx Europe 600 by 35%. I have previously explained the building-block approach to earnings growth I use for long-term earnings forecasts. For the companies in the Stoxx Europe ‌600 Automobiles & Parts Index, that would amount to 4.5% revenue growth in 2026 compared with 4.3% for the Stoxx Europe 600 overall. But there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel in the European automotive ‍industry.
