Volvo Cars announced a 2,500-job cut in Sweden following a severe operational loss of 3.7 billion Swedish crowns in the third quarter, down from a 5.8 billion profit last year. Analysts expected a loss of only 724 million crowns, yet the company cut costs by 23 billion crowns and plans further reductions of 5 billion crowns. CEO Hakan Samuelsson cited a challenging year and a need for decisive turnaround, while the stock value fell to 9.87 crowns, its lowest level ever. The company previously cut 3,000 jobs, and these new measures affect approximately 6% of the workforce, including 2,000 Swedish positions.
