Michelin's stock experienced a significant drop in Paris following a reduction in its 2025 financial outlook. The company now anticipates operating income between 2.6 and 3 billion euros, a decrease from its prior forecast of 3.4 billion euros. This downward revision is attributed to weakening demand in the agriculture, construction, and truck sectors. Notably, North American sales saw a nearly 10% decline in the third quarter, exacerbated by a weaker dollar and tariffs. Michelin also highlighted increased competitiveness in the tire market due to tariffs and challenges faced by European carmakers. The company's outlook for free cash flow before mergers and acquisitions was also lowered to 1.5 to 1.8 billion euros. Analysts expressed concern, with one calling the revised guidance "worse than feared." These headwinds are expected to persist into early 2026. Michelin is scheduled to release its third-quarter results next week, and its stock has fallen 17.55% year-to-date. Competitor Continental AG also saw its shares decrease.
