The original short thesis remains intact: MBG is under structural pressure from slashed margin guidance, weak Chinese demand, and EV transition risks. Price has already moved -4.77% in our favor, improving the reward-to-risk profile from 2:1 to over 3:1 with the stop untested. Technicals remain bearish across timeframes, with RSI near oversold but no reversal signals yet.
The original short thesis remains valid because MBG is still in a clear downtrend, trading below its 4h and daily 20/50 SMAs with momentum still negative and the baseline bias now more bearish than at entry. Fundamentally, tariff pressure, weaker China demand, and reduced car-margin guidance continue to justify lower expectations, so unless earnings produce a genuine guidance reset, the path toward a support break and €48 remains open over the remaining horizon.
Continued support from the current price action and potential positive surprise from the upcoming Q1 2026 financial results -> validation of the short thesis -> price holds below the entry point and moves toward the target -> should materialize over the remaining 7 days.
No model argued for EXIT.

▼ Click to expandThe case to exit is that price is now oversold and sitting directly on support ahead of a defined earnings catalyst, which creates an unfavorable setup for pressing the short aggressively from here. If results or management commentary persuade the market that Q1 was the low point and U.S. investment plus EV launches can stabilize margins, the stock could rebound sharply and invalidate the near-term downside path.

▼ Click to expandThe upcoming Q1 2026 earnings release on April 29 introduces event risk that could trigger a short-covering rally if results beat depressed expectations. Additionally, the stock has already declined nearly 5% from entry, potentially pricing in much of the known downside, and further momentum may be limited near-term.
