VW shares slump after profit warning
Article Abstract:
Volkswagen AG sent its stocks into a tailspin by announcing that it would be difficult to achieve a continued improvement of group results in 1999. The warning sent shares in Volkswagen down by 13% in early trading Wednesday, before recovering to finish trading in Frankfurt at 63.30 euros ($70.23), or down 4.2% from 66.05 euros. Analysts suspect Volkswagen is positioning itself for wage negotiations with labor unions.
