Volkswagen shares increased in early Wednesday trading as financiers welcomed news the automaker is done with settling the criminal and civil settlement with the United States Justice Department over its emissions scandal.

Volkswagen stated after the market close on Tuesday it remained in advanced discussions over a $4.3 billion settlement, and it prepared to plead guilty to criminal misbehavior.

Volkswagen shares were up 2.1 percent at 149.10 euros by 0840 GMT.

“The bright side is that Volkswagen makes another crucial action to fix the dieselgate issue in the United States however the monetary effect appears higher than so far anticipated by capital markets,” DZ Bank expert Michael Punzet wrote in a note released on Wednesday.

The German group stated the monetary implications of the United States deal go beyond the 18.2 billion euros ($19.2 billion) it has reserved to cover the expenses of its scandal, including it has yet to measure the impact of the deal on 2016 group outcomes.

The majority of experts had anticipated the United States deal, which Volkswagen had raced to conclude prior to the Obama administration’s departure on January 20, to cost the automaker around 3 billion euros.
