It seems that every once in a while, big things happen in the automotive circle. Isn't it true that Porsche and volkswagen, which have been "kind and loving" for many years, are actually "separated" recently? It is reported that the Volkswagen Group issued a statement saying that volkswagen and porsche holding boards have reached a framework agreement, which clearly ensures that Jet will be listed independently.
Speaking of Porsche and Volkswagen, those who do not understand the car may not know, and the relationship between the two sides is not ordinary. Don't look at Porsche as an ultra-luxury brand, but it's actually part of the Volkswagen Group, which completed the acquisition of 100% Porsche in 2012. But after 10 years together, Porsche is ready to go it alone.
In fact, the practice of the super luxury brand being listed independently from the parent company, the car market actually has a precedent for a long time, that is, Ferrari, which is very well known to everyone. Previously, as a sub-brand of Fiat, it was completely split and listed by the latter, and received huge funds to repay fiat's debts. Today, Ferrari's market value has exceeded $50 billion, and at this moment, I don't know if Fiat regrets selling all of Ferrari's shares.
However, the Volkswagen Group is certainly not as "sub-breeding" as Fiat, after all, as the world's second largest automobile group, it is not so short of money. But why porsche is also listed independently now, mainly because in the face of the huge amount of money required for transformation and electrification, the public still has some pressure, but it is better to take out part of Porsche's equity to test the water.
I have to say that Porsche is really competitive now, and the sales are so eye-catching. According to official data provided by Porsche, Porsche delivered a record number of new cars worldwide in FY2021, delivering a total of 301,915 new cars, an increase of 11% over 2021, while the Chinese market delivered 95,671 vehicles last year.
Not only that, Porsche's electrification has also been quite successful, and it is even completely ahead of the traditional super luxury brand. According to the data, Porsche Taycan has delivered 41,296 vehicles worldwide in 2021 and 7,315 vehicles in the Chinese market, surpassing the 4,002 vehicles of Porsche's traditional flagship model 911.
Of course, Porsche's pace of electrification will only be faster in the future. In the Chinese market, for example, the ultra-luxury brand plans to 50% of Porsche's new deliveries by 2025 will be pure electric or plug-in hybrid models, and by 2030, this proportion will reach 80%.
It can be said that Porsche's prospects are very promising, which is not only its own premium ability, but more importantly, its development in electrification, which has undoubtedly been at the forefront, and this will certainly attract the capital market that has always been optimistic about new energy. According to the information obtained so far, once Porsche is successfully listed, its valuation is about 60 billion to 85 billion euros (426.4 billion yuan to 604.1 billion yuan), which feels like another "public".
So volkswagen this move is still very smart, no one will hate less money, especially in the face of electrification and intelligent change, the public may need to continue to burn money to develop in response to various changes in the market for a long time in the future, and this way can not only raise more funds, but also make Porsche more flexible development, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
