Volkswagen Recoups Stock Losses Since Emissions Scandal: Chart

(Bloomberg) -- A four-day surge has pushed Volkswagen AG’s shares back above levels last seen before news of the carmaker’s diesel-emissions cheating broke in 2015. The stock has jumped about 12 percent since lifting its annual earnings forecast last week amid robust demand for its vehicles. Volkswagen has clawed back about 36 billion euros ($42 billion) in market value since it slumped to a four-year low on Oct. 2, 2015.
