Volkswagen is in advanced talks for a potential initial public offering (IPO) for its profitable arm Porsche. As per a report by Bloomberg, this move will help the company to achieve record investments along with unlocking value for shareholders. Volkswagen informed along with Porsche Automobil Holding SE, it has negotiated a framework agreement to form the base of this offering. A final decision is yet to be taken by the group.

Volkswagen has been trying to opt for a less centralised corporate structure and become more agile. The auto major is trying to amp its game with its goals in electric mobility to tackle Tesla. It is already in the process of strengthening its ID range and the all-electric Porsche Taycan is also doing well for the sportscar brand. However, the valuation is still being shadowed by Tesla.
