"Yeah, absolutely. So Porsche actually on Friday evening reported its first quarterly loss uh since its IPO and that it was due to a 3 billion euro hit this year from US tariffs and its decision to scale back its electric ambition. We remember that last month it had cut its guidance which was the fourth time this year. Um and obviously that quarterly loss of almost€1 billion euros does look quite bad on the surface but you said that it is indeed driving ahead speeding ahead and the shares are doing quite well this morning because if we dig a little deeper there are actually reasons to be optimistic in this statement that we had on Friday. Um so some analysts noted that the loss wasn\u2019t as bad as expected and the margin of almost 10% looked quite resilient. Um, and that\u2019s really boosting sentiment because there\u2019s now expectations that a return to form could be underway."

The speaker outlines Porsche\u2019s recent quarterly loss, citing a 3 billion euro hit from US tariffs and scaling back on electric ambitions, but emphasizes that resilient margins around 10% and analyst optimism suggest a potential turnaround by 2026.
