Volkswagen is expected to cut up to 100,000 jobs and potentially close as many as four manufacturing plants in Germany as part of sweeping cost-cutting plans. The move is driven by rising labor costs and intensifying competition from Chinese automakers, with proposals to be presented by the board today. The actions signal pressure on margins and likely introduce elevated execution and labor-risk concerns for the stock.
