Shares in Renault SA (EPA:RENA) fell in early European dealmaking on Friday after the French automaker said that supply constraints weighed on the number of cars sold by the French automaker in the third quarter.
Sales volumes slipped by 2.4% year-on-year to 481,000. The maker of brands like Dacia and Alpine flagged that it is still facing disruptions to the supply of key semiconductors, which have ebbed recently due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in some areas of China, a major chip producer.
