European, Chinese Automakers Launch Product Blitz at Paris Car Show in Fight for Market Share

European and Chinese automakers are set to unveil as many as 60 new models at the Paris Motor Show opening Monday, with about 20 Chinese brands attending — double the number from 2024 — days after an EU-China agreement that could cut EU imports of Chinese hybrid vehicles by more than half, though implementation details remain undisclosed, according to Investing.com.
Chinese automaker Changan launched two new brands, Nevo and Avatr, at the show; Geely Auto CEO Alex Nan hosted an event on a floating gallery on the Seine emphasizing a deepened partnership with Renault and "commitment to Europe," after announcing in July plans to produce an electric SUV at a former Ford plant in Spain. BYD and Chery also significantly expanded their presence, and Aito was introduced as a new Chinese brand at the show.
Jefferies said BYD, Chery and SAIC's MG brand — which accounted for 90% of Chinese-brand hybrid sales in the EU from January to August 2026 — stand to be hit hardest by the EU-China deal. China's domestic car sales fell 20% in H1 2026, intensifying pressure to expand overseas as the US market remains largely closed to Chinese automakers; the EU has levied tariffs on Chinese battery-electric vehicles since October 2024 and is preparing "Made in Europe" rules requiring minimum local content for EVs.

Domino's Pizza CEO Takes Direct Control of Australia and New Zealand Operations

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Group announced Monday that group CEO and managing director Andrew Gregory will take direct, immediate control of its Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) operations, while ANZ CEO Merrill Pereyra is departing the company by mutual agreement, according to Investing.com.
The company, master franchisee of the Domino's brand across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia, said it has begun searching for an experienced new executive to lead ANZ operations, with Gregory overseeing the region in the interim.
The report cited soft sales across all regions, with discounting and promotions having limited effect; in Asia, accelerating store closures in Japan and Taiwan, along with associated writedowns, have weighed heavily on earnings. No specific financial figures were disclosed.

Citi Opens 30-Day Downside Catalyst Watch on Volaris Ahead of Earnings

Citi opened a 30-day downside-biased catalyst watch on Mexican low-cost carrier Volaris, running from its October 8 report to November 7, ahead of the company's Q3 earnings report due October 26, according to Investing.com. Citi maintained its "neutral/high risk" rating and $6.60 price target for the US-listed shares, versus an October 8 close of $6.28.
Citi cited a disciplined-capacity environment, weakening domestic demand, pricing and competitive risks tied to international expansion, fleet-plan-driven cost pressure amid rising fuel prices, and the risk that the US FAA could downgrade Mexico's aviation safety rating to Category 2.
Citi forecasts a 2026 net loss of $266 million ($2.31 per share), wider than 2025's $104 million loss, and cut its 2026 adjusted EBITDA estimate to $624 million from $792 million; it projects a Q3 2026 net loss of $56 million. Volaris reported October 6 that Q3 capacity rose 11.1% (domestic 11.0%, international 11.2%).

Stellantis Bets on Small, Affordable EVs for European Comeback

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa unveiled six of nine concept cars at a gala on Sunday, ahead of the Paris Motor Show, including a retro-styled Citroen 2CV revival previewing a European-built affordable EV due in 2028 — the first model in the company's planned entry into a new European "e-car" category priced around €15,000 ($16,800), according to Reuters via Investing.com.
Other models shown included the DS7, Fiat Grizzly, Lancia Gamma, Opel Corsa GSE, and the B03 and D19 from Chinese partner Leapmotor, alongside production models aimed at strengthening each brand's distinct identity.
Filosa said the event builds on the company's 2030 business plan unveiled in May 2026, which includes new models, cost cuts and deeper cooperation with Chinese partners including Leapmotor; Stellantis shares fell to €3.81 this month, their lowest level since the group's 2021 formation.

Volkswagen CEO Says Transformation Is 'Shared Responsibility' in Appeal to EU

Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said at a "For Europe" event on Sunday, ahead of the Paris Motor Show, that "this is a shared responsibility: the business community must become more competitive," while policymakers must create the right framework conditions, according to Reuters via Investing.com.
Blume called VW's restructuring "the biggest transformation programme in our history" and said he expects European policymakers to help create conditions for it to succeed, as Brussels moves to shield the industry from lower-cost Chinese competitors; he has previously backed proposed local-content rules to encourage regional production.
On Friday, Blume called an EU-China agreement — which could cut EU imports of Chinese plug-in hybrids by more than half — an "important step." Volkswagen, Europe's largest automaker with roughly a quarter of the market over the past decade, is pursuing major job cuts and has been reported to threaten the closure of up to four German plants.
