  "account": "Porsche's CEO Michael Leiters has dismissed plans for further job cuts at the company, despite a report by Handelsblatt suggesting additional savings of up to 4,000 positions were under consideration. In an internal company publication, Leiters stated that a further 4,000 job cuts at Porsche are not planned, emphasizing that their future package is based on carefully considered and negotiated decisions with workers' representatives. The package, which totals 5,000 positions, was officially presented by Porsche in late July. Porsche, which is majority-owned by Volkswagen, has seen its profits decline due to a downturn in China and increased US import taxes. The automaker had previously announced the separation of 3,900 employees and the closure of 500 positions at subsidiaries. The Volkswagen Group issued a profit warning on Friday, with the main reason being a write-down of more than six billion euros in the value of Porsche. This write-down affects both Volkswagen and Porsche SE shares, causing both to underperform in their Monday trading.",
