ack that's not good. This was the most troubling part for me in terms of how it might affect Scout Motors:
"Analysts have warned the combination of pricing pressure, lower dividends from China joint ventures and committed investments will likely leave Volkswagen with a free cash flow close to zero in coming years, boding badly for Porsche SE's financial stability."
VW having zero free cash flow for years may leave Scout in a bind if it needs a cash infusion. So yea, I agree Scout Motors should go public or take on investments.
Even a rebrand would help a little bit. and not a fake rebrand like the 2019 and 2021 rebrands they did.
they should take a break for a few months or a year and re-evaluate executives and management and just reform everything because something money wise went wrong.
And worst case scenario VW spins off to a company called Scout that they help bring to life maybe in common terms they are downsizing either way with the pedigree and the interest someone will bring scout to the streets and trails. Happy Holidays to all.
