** The institution stated that Renault is well-positioned for 2027, benefiting from changes in European policy, carbon dioxide emission regulations, and the growth of its engine joint venture Horse
** Renault shares rose about 2%; Mercedes-Benz fell by 0.2%
** The report says that Mercedes-Benz has no advantage in cash flow generation in the Chinese market and its profitability faces pressure, which may be a drag
** Overall, Jefferies stated that none of the automakers with business exposure to China have provided reassurance on market demand or future market position
