Renault ranks approximately 12th globally in vehicle sales, with an annual total of 2.3 million units. Despite this position, the company's well-executed transformation strategy has allowed it to achieve operating margins comparable to those of larger competitors. Currently, Renault operates at 90% capacity. The company benefits from a favorable mix, including the rapidly growing, higher-margin Dacia brand and an increasing proportion of C models, moving away from its historically dominant B model portfolio. Additionally, Renault is gradually reducing its shareholding in Nissan, which provides a cash buffer and potential upside if the entire stake is acquired. Notably, Renault has no exposure to US import tariffs.
