Company Report

BMW Earnings: Strong Fourth Quarter Overshadowed by Heightened Near-Term Investments

Narrow-moat BMW capped off fiscal 2023 with a strong fourth quarter, reporting year-over-year sales and automotive operating income growth of 8.7% and 8.2%, respectively. However, the stock slipped during intraday trading as management stated that fiscal 2024 would be a year of heightened investment, expecting peak capital expenditures with respect to electrical vehicle technology. Nonetheless, we remain confident in BMW’s product portfolio and believe the company should be able to generate high-single-digit margins despite the significant investment ramp. As such, we reiterate our EUR 163 fair value estimate.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

BMW possesses durable competitive advantages, given the strength and global recognition of the brands, technological leadership in powertrains, and ability to command premium pricing from consumers that regularly rate its vehicles as some of the best to own, resulting in excess returns.

Bears

BMW operates in the highly cyclical, capital-intensive automotive business, where overcapacity restricts pricing and constrains economic profits.
