With annual vehicle sales of 2.3 million, Renault ranks approximately 12th globally in size. Nevertheless, its well-executed transformation strategy enables it to achieve operating margins comparable to larger competitors. Currently, Renault operates at full capacity (90%). 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. Furthermore, Renault has no exposure to US import tariffs.
