Volkswagen shares boosted by Everllence deal promising €7.4 billion in proceeds

Volkswagen shares rose 2.4% after the company announced the sale of a majority stake in engine unit Everllence, a deal expected to bring in €7.4 billion ($8.41 billion). The transaction supports Volkswagen's restructuring efforts and should strengthen the balance sheet. The move is a constructive capital-allocation step, though the broader impact is primarily company-specific.
