Volkswagen: possible sale of Ducati
The far-reaching reorganisation launched by Volkswagen is raising questions that extend well beyond Germany’s borders. Rumours suggest that Ducati may be sold off and that Lamborghini could be floated on the stock market.
Although operating in a motorcycle market that is now more complex, Ducati continues to be a brand of great value. Chief Executive Claudio Domenicali has repeatedly emphasised that the company is financially self-sufficient, capable of supporting investment and development without relying directly on its parent company. Despite the slowdown in turnover recorded in 2025 and a decline in profitability, the brand retains strong international appeal – a factor that could attract the interest of private equity funds and industrial groups should Volkswagen actually decide to sell the business.
