Changan Q3 2026: Weak Sales and Profit, Overseas and Tech Push
Weak Sales and Profit June sales fell 14%, July plunged 23%, and first-half net profit collapsed 64.3% on exchange losses and higher raw material costs. Revenue dropped 9.7% and core profit fell 83%, pressuring the stock.
This directly explains the main negative force on the stock price during the period.
Overseas Expansion Accelerates Changan targets 70,000 annual sales in Thailand by 2030 and is doubling local production capacity. Exports jumped 51.9% in H1, with new models showcased in Angola and South Africa.
This highlights a key growth driver that could offset domestic weakness.
Capital and R&D Investments Changan secured a 900 million yuan loan for chip localization and R&D, repurchased 187 million shares, won approval for an A-share private placement, and accumulated over 5 million km of Level 3 self-driving testing.
These actions support future technology and financial flexibility, potentially boosting investor confidence.
