Stars
MEB/SSP EV Platforms (VW Group)
MEB/SSP EV Platforms are stars with a high-share base in Europe’s EV market (around 25% in 2024) and clear runway as SSP rolls out. They lead on platforms but soak cash for scale, software and supplier lock‑ins—VW Group raised EV-related investment markedly in 2024 (roughly mid‑teens billions EUR). Continued investment is required to defend share now; with solid execution they should become dependable cash engines.
Porsche Taycan & Macan Electric
Porsche Taycan and Macan Electric are premium EV flagships with strong brand pull and rising demand as global EV sales reached about 14 million in 2023 (IEA) and charging networks expand. They lead in their niches but require heavy upfront spend on software, batteries and launch capex. With sharp product updates and factory ramp capacity, they can hold share; as market growth normalizes they transition from cash‑hungry to cash‑rich.
PowerCo (VW Group Batteries)
PowerCo (VW Group Batteries) sits in the BCG Matrix as a Star: captive VW demand plus an aggressive gigafactory buildout drive high growth and strategic weight. PowerCo targets roughly 240 GWh battery capacity by 2030 (announced 2023–24) and early-scale advantages can lock share across VW brands. Capital intensity peaks in 2024–25 but margin math improves with utilization; keep funding, this is the spine of the EV future.
Audi Q6 e-tron and Premium EV Range
Audi Q6 e-tron sits in the Stars quadrant: its segment is fast-growing and Audi can win on perceived tech and fit/finish, with the Q6 e-tron offering up to 600 km WLTP range and the PPE platform enabling competitive efficiency and charging performance.
Market expansion is clear: premium EV demand accelerated in 2024, and Audi’s defendable share rests on software velocity, OTA updates and range leadership, but requires upfront marketing and ecosystem investment today to secure adoption.
Executed properly, the premium EV line can mature into a durable profit column for Porsche Automobil Holding as volumes scale and unit economics improve.
- Position: Stars — high growth, high share
- Product data: Q6 e-tron up to 600 km WLTP range
- Needs: marketing + ecosystem spend now (software, charging partnerships)
- Outcome: scalable margin tailwinds as segment matures
ID. Buzz & Electric Vans (VWCV)
ID. Buzz and VWCV electric vans sit in a niche but rapidly growing European segment, showing strong brand heat and clear B2B use cases; market adoption remains early but share is meaningful in key fleets. Scaling production, fleet channels and charging partnerships is critical to lock leadership; high near-term cash needs contrast with multi-year payback.
- Market: rapid European EV van growth
- Strategy: scale production + fleets + charging
- Finance: high near-term investment, long-term returns
Platforms ≈25% EU EV share; premium EVs star but cash-hungry; battery target ≈240 GWh 2030
MEB/SSP platforms (≈25% Europe EV share 2024) and Porsche Taycan/Macan Electric are Stars: high share in fast‑growing premium EVs but cash‑hungry now. PowerCo targets ≈240 GWh by 2030; Audi Q6 e‑tron offers up to 600 km WLTP. Sustained 2024–25 capex (EV spend ≈15bn EUR) needed to convert to cash engines.
| Asset | Position | 2024 metric | Near‑term capex |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEB/SSP | Star | ≈25% EU EV share | High |
| Porsche EVs | Star | Premium demand↑ | High |
| PowerCo | Star | 240 GWh by 2030 | Peak |

Cash Cows
Porsche 911 (and mature Porsche ICE lines)
Porsche 911 and mature ICE lines are iconic, delivering outsized margins and loyal demand; Porsche brand recorded 310,338 global deliveries in 2023, underpinning strong pricing power. Market growth for premium ICE sports cars is low while share remains high; minimal promotions needed as mix and efficiency drive cash generation. Milk carefully while pacing the transition to hybrid/electric to protect mid-teens operating margins.
VW Golf/Tiguan on MQB
Core European staples: VW Golf (cumulative sales >35 million since 1974) and Tiguan (cumulative sales >6 million since 2007) on the MQB architecture provide high, predictable volumes from a platform introduced in 2012. High volume and an optimized MQB cost base sustain steady margins in a mature C-segment, requiring low incremental capex due to product stability. Cash generation funds VW Group electrification roll‑out and ongoing software/OTA remediation, allowing Porsche Automobil Holding to reallocate capital to growth areas.
Audi A4/Q5 Family
Audi A4 and Q5 are well-defended premium ICE/HEV franchises with consistently strong profitability but flat volume growth; Audi reported roughly break-even global volume change for core models in 2024 as EV transition slowed ICE demand. Keep trims fresh, control incentives and protect lease residuals to preserve margins. Harvest cash from A4/Q5 while migrating buyers toward next-gen Audi EVs through targeted trade-in and loyalty programs.
Skoda Octavia/Superb
Skoda Octavia and Superb act as cash cows for Porsche Automobil Holding by delivering high-volume, value-led models with low marketing spend and efficient Czech/Slovak manufacturing; Skoda brand sold 659,800 cars in 2024, sustaining stable EBIT margins and sticky market share in Europe.
- Value-led models
- Efficient manufacturing
- Mature market, steady margins
- Low opex from limited promotion
- Core cash generator for group transformation
Dividends from Volkswagen AG
For Porsche SE the 31.8% voting stake in Volkswagen AG (2024) throws off sizable, relatively predictable cash through regular dividends; growth is modest but steady, and payouts bolster investments and balance-sheet strength. The incremental cost to maintain the stake is low. Dividends act as the core funding source to turn Question Marks into winners.
- Stake: 31.8% voting rights (2024)
- Role: predictable dividend cashflow financing capex and M&A
- Cost: low incremental maintenance
High-margin ICE cash cows and strategic stakes funnel dividends into EV transition
Porsche 911/ICE lines, VW Golf/Tiguan, Audi A4/Q5 and Skoda Octavia/Superb are mature, high-margin cash cows; Porsche brand 310,338 deliveries (2023), Skoda 659,800 sales (2024), Porsche SE 31.8% voting stake in VW AG (2024) supplies steady dividends to fund EV transition.
| Asset | Metric | 2023/24 |
|---|---|---|
| Porsche brand | Deliveries | 310,338 (2023) |
| Skoda | Sales | 659,800 (2024) |
| Porsche SE | VW stake | 31.8% voting (2024) |

Dogs
Legacy Diesel Programs
Legacy diesel programs sit in a declining market (EU diesel share fell to roughly 22% by 2023) with mounting regulatory headwinds and constrained pricing power, making them cash neutral at best once compliance and warranty drag are deducted. Historical diesel remediation has already cost VW Group ~€32 billion through 2023, showing expensive turnarounds rarely move the needle. Recommend wind down and reallocate capex to EV and software growth.
Discontinued City ICE Minis (up!, Mii, Citigo)
Discontinued City ICE Minis (up!, Mii, Citigo) sit in a low-margin, shrinking segment that struggles with EU CO2 rules (95 g/km baseline with 15% cut by 2025, 37.5% by 2030). They have minimal strategic value in an EV-centric roadmap for Porsche Automobil Holding SE (31.4% voting stake in VW). Capital is better deployed to electrification and high-margin brands; keep inventory clean and avoid costly revivals.
Combustion-Only Niche Trims
Combustion-only niche trims sell in small volumes and face fading demand as EU battery-electric share climbed to about 22% in 2024, reducing long-term resale and growth prospects. Rising compliance and fleet-emissions costs erode margins, while low-volume variants tie up engineering resources for minimal return versus core model economics. Hard to justify marketing or facelift budgets for these lines; prune aggressively and redeploy capex to electrification.
Underperforming China ICE Sedans
Underperforming China ICE sedans face demand erosion as consumers shift to NEVs (NEV penetration ~41% in H1 2024 per CAAM) and SUVs (~48% of PV sales), causing share loss and price pressure that compress margins into mid-to-low single digits for mass-market ICE models; localized turnarounds are capital-intensive and slow, so exit variants failing hurdle rates is prudent for Porsche SE's BCG Dogs.
- NEV share: ~41% (CAAM H1 2024)
- SUV share: ~48% of passenger vehicle market
- Margins: mid-to-low single digits for China ICE sedans
- Action: cut variants not meeting hurdle rates
Non-core Mobility Pilots (legacy)
Non-core Mobility Pilots (legacy) are pocket projects without scale or synergy, showing no material revenue or cash contribution to Porsche Automobil Holding as of 2024 and acting primarily as a management bandwidth sink. They neither grow nor produce meaningful cashflow and distract leadership from core automotive and financial holdings. Management should close or sell these pilots rather than tinker with them.
- Tag: low-scale
- Tag: no-cash
- Tag: bandwidth-sink
- Tag: close-or-sell
Wind down EU diesels; cut China ICE variants as NEV hits 41% - close pilots
Legacy diesels, city ICE minis and low-volume combustion trims are cash-neutral to loss-making amid EU diesel ~22% (2023) and costly compliance (VW remediation ~€32bn to 2023); recommend wind-down. China ICE sedans face NEV penetration ~41% (H1 2024) compressing margins to mid‑low single digits; cut variants failing hurdle rates. Non-core mobility pilots add no cash—close or sell.
| Asset | Market | Margin | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesels/City ICE | EU diesel 22% (2023) | Neutral/negative | Wind down |
| China ICE sedans | NEV 41% H1 2024 | Mid-low % | Exit variants |
| Mobility pilots | Non-core | No cash | Close/sell |
Question Marks
CARIAD Software Stack
CARIAD sits in a high-growth software-defined vehicle market forecasted at roughly 20% CAGR to 2030, but its market share remains unproven. The unit has incurred multibillion-euro cash burn with delayed deliverables and missed rollout milestones. If execution tightens and platform reliability improves, CARIAD can flip into a strategic moat; if not, Porsche should push a narrower scope or deeper partnerships.
Level 3/4 Autonomous Features
Level 3/4 autonomy is a Question Mark for Porsche SE: the segment is rapidly growing but winner-takes-most dynamics create uncertainty, with the global autonomous driving market projected to exceed $120 billion by 2030 (CAGR high single-digits to low double-digits through 2024–30). Big upfront R&D and sensor costs mean limited near-term revenue and negative margin pressure versus core luxury vehicles. Porsche must land highway pilot and fleet use cases to build share and should scale only where regulatory paths (EU, US, Japan approvals) are clear and commercially viable.
China EV Push (incl. XPeng tie-up)
China is the growth engine for EVs — NEV penetration reached about 40% in 2024 and China accounted for roughly 60% of global EV sales in recent years, yet VW Group’s EV share lags key rivals. Partnerships (incl. the XPeng tie-up) can accelerate tech transfer and time-to-market, shortening product cycles and cost curves. Porsche SE must make bold product and pricing moves: invest decisively to scale or retrench to defendable niches.
Over-the-Air Services & Subscriptions
Over-the-Air services present high-margin recurring revenue for Porsche but current installed-base monetization is low; Porsche delivered 301,915 vehicles in 2023, indicating a defined addressable base to pilot attach-rate proofs on 911 and Taycan flagships. Success requires seamless software, UX, and billing integration; if uptake sustains, subscription economics can create a customer-value flywheel driving ARPU and retention.
- High-margin recurring revenue potential
- Low current installed-base monetization
- Prove attach rates on flagship models first
- Seamless software, UX, billing required to trigger flywheel
Next-Gen Battery Tech (solid-state, LFP variants)
Next-Gen battery tech (solid-state, LFP variants) is a Question Mark for Porsche Automobil Holding: huge upside as OEM pilots proliferate as of 2024, but technical scale-up and validation risks plus capital-intensive factories and multi-year certification cycles persist; strategy: pilot projects, lock supply, co-develop with OEMs and cellmakers, and only scale capex after milestone proof.
Software-defined cars ~20% CAGR, China NEV 40%, multibillion € burn
CARIAD, L3/4 autonomy, China EVs, OTA and next‑gen batteries are Question Marks for Porsche SE. High growth: software-defined vehicles ~20% CAGR to 2030 and China NEV ~40% penetration in 2024, but share unproven and multibillion cash burn persists. Strategy: pilot, partner, milestone-driven scale or retrench.
| Item | 2024/2023 | Key metric |
|---|---|---|
| CARIAD | multibillion € burn | execution risk |
| Autonomy | $120B by 2030 | regulatory/scale |
| China EVs | 40% NEV pen. 2024 | market push |
| OTA | 301,915 cars 2023 | monetization |
