  "account": "Düsseldorf - German car manufacturer BMW has adjusted its forecast for 2026 for the second time this year, aligning its expectations with industry and stock market expectations of an Ebit margin in the automotive segment. According to the company, it is now only anticipating a margin of -0.5 to 0.5 percent in its core business, which could result in losses for automotive vehicles. This adjustment is due to the rapid launch of BMW's new generation of electric vehicles, as they are phasing out parts of their previous vehicle and technology generations. The restructuring program is also cited as the reason for the profit warning. The group is expected to set aside additional reserves for its severance program. However, the forecast for free cash flow remains unchanged. BMW still anticipates a minimum margin of €2.5 billion in this business year, which is the second profit warning for the DAX company this year. In June, the company had to significantly revise its forecast for 2026, initially expecting an Ebit margin of four to six percent for the entire year.",
