Reuters exclusively reports Renault sees bigger production hit from chip shortage; market reacts

Reuters exclusively reported that French carmaker Renault expects to produce at least 300,000 fewer vehicles this year due to a global shortage in semiconductor chips, a much bigger hit than previously estimated. The supply problems would cost Renault, which is set to publish its third-quarter sales this week, over a third more than the 220,000 lost vehicles it forecast in early September.

Market Impact

The company’s Paris-listed shares fell on the news.
