NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) - The research firm Jefferies has maintained its "Hold" rating on BMW following an analyst event (Pre-Close-Call) ahead of the quarterly results, with a target price of 100 euros. In an assessment released Thursday, Philippe Houchois noted constructive comments from Treasury and IR chief Stefan Richmann. Inventory reduction in the fourth quarter is expected to keep free cash flow in positive territory. The expert's estimates for 2025 now have some room for upward revision./rob/la/he
