Two German Auto Giants Shining Bright: Volkswagen and Mercedes
Get ready to dive into the world of lucrative investments as we explore two German powerhouses, Volkswagen and Mercedes, that are currently tickling the fancy of investors. These stocks boast high price potential, and here's why:
Volkswagen and Mercedes: Riding High
These automotive titans kicked off the year strong on the stock exchange. Volkswagen scored about a 7% rise, while Mercedes took it up a notch, soaring nearly 9%. Both stocks maintain a favorable valuation:
The Volkswagen Share
The Volkswagen share sports a price-earnings ratio (P/E) of 4.3 for 2023. Investors can also enjoy an attractive dividend yield of 6.61%. Analysts at Bloomberg are bullish, with 17 recommending a buy, 5 recommending a hold, and only 2 hinting at a sell. This adds up to an average target price of 196 euros, pointing to a whopping potential of 57.1%. Despite being in a downward trend and yet to reclaim its 200-day line, the future looks promising for investors with a long-term perspective, who can snatch lower purchase prices as opportunities arise.

The Mercedes Share
The Mercedes share presents a different face. This brand has stayed above its 200-day line for some time and shows signs of overall health in its chart after forming a double bottom. The P/E ratio is pleasingly low at 5.8, while the dividend yield rockets up to 7.18%. Although the average target price indicates a potential of 25.8%, it's still worth considering the Mercedes Benz share.
By the way, Mercedes is part of the BÖRSE ONLINE Aktien für die Ewigkeit Index along with 29 other stocks.

Insights:While neither company provides explicit P/E ratios or dividend yields in recent developments, Volkswagen shows more optimistic near-term guidance compared to Mercedes’ withdrawn outlook. As for target prices, keep an eye on Volkswagen’s €2-5B automotive cash flow target and Mercedes’ inventory management tactics in response to tariffs. Both face CO2 compliance pressures, but Volkswagen's larger scale offers a margin cushion that Mercedes might lack in its premium-focused model.
