1.b. Last Insights on AG1

AUTO1 Group SE's recent performance was positively driven by significant investor interest, with retail investors holding considerable sway over the company. A substantial rise in market capitalization, amounting to €259m, primarily benefited this group. Moreover, SoftBank Group Corp.'s swing to a quarterly profit, fueled by gains from AI-related investments, likely bolstered sentiment.

Forces Ranking

Threat Of Substitutes

AUTO1 Group SE operates in the used car market, where substitutes are limited. However, the rise of alternative mobility solutions and changing consumer preferences could pose a moderate threat.

Bargaining Power Of Customers

AUTO1 Group SE's customers are primarily individual buyers, who have limited bargaining power. The company's strong online presence and wide selection of cars also reduce customer bargaining power.

Bargaining Power Of Suppliers

AUTO1 Group SE relies on a network of suppliers for its inventory. While the company has some bargaining power due to its scale, suppliers may still exert some pressure on prices and terms.

Threat Of New Entrants

The used car market is attractive, and new entrants may be drawn to the market. However, AUTO1 Group SE's established brand, scale, and technology infrastructure create barriers to entry.

Intensity Of Rivalry

The used car market is highly competitive, with many established players. AUTO1 Group SE competes with traditional dealerships, online marketplaces, and other digital players, leading to a high level of rivalry.
