FRANKFURT (S&P Global Ratings) March 19, 2021--German carmaker BMW AG (A/Negative/A-1) is likely to outperform S&P Global Ratings' previous profitability and free cash flow forecasts this year, although it lost some market share in electrified vehicle (EVs) in 2020. We anticipate that BMW can strengthen its EV market position, thanks to upcoming product launches in 2021-2023.
