The announcement caps a strong year for the luxury automaker

Porsche sped to record earnings last year.

Porsche’s profits were up to just under $7.3 billion as deliveries rose by 2.6%.

There’s no sign the company will slow down.

It has targeted a rise in revenue to as much as $45 billion this year – up from $40 billion in 2022.

Porsche said its medium-term target was to pay out roughly half of its after-tax profit in dividends.

The announcement caps a strong year for the luxury automaker.

It overtook Germany’s Volkswagen as Europe’s most valuable carmaker within a week of making its stock market debut.

Porsche is still three-quarters owned by VW and has long been a huge money maker for the car group.

The carmaker’s CEO believes it would also give VW much-needed funds for its electrification drive.
