Porsche's nine-month operating profit rebounds despite a 16% drop in deliveries

Porsche's operating profit rose to €1.74 billion in the first nine months of 2026, from €40 million a year earlier, when restructuring costs weighed on earnings, CNBC reports. Deliveries fell 16% to 178,532. Bloomberg reports that demand for top-end 911s and high-priced variations helped cushion the slump in China. Porsche says it has significantly reduced its exposure to that market, according to CNBC.
