autobiz expands its Residual Value operations in Iberia
autobiz announces the expansion of its Residual Value & Automotive Finance activities in the Iberian Peninsula with the availability of its Forecast solution in Spain and Portugal, alongside the appointment of Miguel Castro as Residual Value Manager Iberia. The move marks another milestone in autobiz’s ambition to become a leading independent partner for residual value intelligence across Europe.
Over the past years, autobiz has built a comprehensive suite of residual value and automotive finance solutions, combining forecasting, portfolio monitoring and market studies to help automotive stakeholders navigate increasingly volatile market conditions.
Today, the company supports decision-makers through:
- Forecast, providing forward-looking residual value projections for strategic planning, pricing and vehicle lifecycle management.
- Reforecast, enabling regular portfolio reassessments and risk monitoring throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle.
- Custom Studies, delivering market intelligence and scenario analyses for vehicle launches, electrification strategies and portfolio optimisation.
Together, these solutions help manufacturers, leasing companies, banks and mobility providers make more informed decisions in an increasingly dynamic automotive environment.
The methodology behind these services is built on more than twenty years of automotive market data and is regularly reviewed through external audits. In 2025, autobiz was recognised as “Advisory Firm of the Year” at the GlobalData Automotive Europe Awards, highlighting the quality and transparency of its approach.
Strengthening local expertise in Spain and Portugal
To support its development in Iberia, autobiz welcomes Miguel Castro as Residual Value Manager Iberia.
Miguel brings more than 15 years of experience in residual value management and automotive finance. Before joining autobiz, he held senior residual value positions at ALD/Ayvens, Santander Consumer Finance and Volkswagen Financial Services, where he was responsible for residual value forecasting, portfolio optimisation, pricing strategies and risk management across multiple vehicle segments.
His experience also includes vehicle pricing, market intelligence and financial analysis, giving him a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by manufacturers, leasing companies and financial institutions in today’s automotive market.
Based in Portugal, Miguel will work closely with local clients to support residual value strategies, portfolio management and market performance across both Spain and Portugal.
“Spain and Portugal are strategically important markets for autobiz. The availability of Forecast and the arrival of Miguel significantly strengthen our ability to support local automotive and financial institutions with independent, data-driven residual value expertise.”
