BMW to Meet Investors as Weak China Sales Overshadow EV Strategy

BMW AG executives will likely face tough questions this week about worsening sales in China and the impact of global trade tensions when they sit down with investors and analysts in Munich.

The two-day meeting, which starts Tuesday, comes a week after the German automaker reported a 14% second-quarter sales drop in China, where local manufacturers led by BYD Co. dominate on electric vehicles. The announcement followed BMW’s worst first-quarter sales performance in the country since 2020.
