#L'action Renault chute de 15,5% à 34,84 euros en début de séance ce mercredi 16 juillet. Un "coup" sur la confiance du marché envers l'action Le groupe basé à Boulogne-Billancourt anticipe désormais une marge opérationnelle pour cette année autour de 6,5% contre au moins de 7% précédemment, et un flux de trésorerie libre compris entre 1 milliard et 1,5 milliard d'euros, contre plus de 2 milliards d'euros auparavant.
"Bien que la nouvelle cible de marge reste solide par rapport aux autres constructeurs automobiles, nous considérons l'avertissement sur résultats comme un coup supplémentaire évident sur la confiance du marché envers l'action", commente Deutsche Bank.
