Lamborghini posts 7.4% revenue rise but profit drops amid geopolitical headwinds
Italian luxury sports‑car maker Automobili Lamborghini reported a 7.4% increase in first‑half 2026 revenue to €1.74 billion, the highest in its history. However, operating profit fell to €395 million, and the operating margin slipped to 22.7% from 26.5% a year earlier.
Deliveries declined 4.6% to 5,422 vehicles as the company cited higher U.S. tariffs, the Middle‑East conflict and a weak Chinese market as key factors. CEO Stephan Winkelmann said the brand had demonstrated resilience, while CFO Paolo Poma noted the negative impact of tariffs and exchange‑rate fluctuations.
