Profit Plunges on Overseas Tax and FX, but Overseas Sales and EV Demand Offer Support

  • First-Half Profit Warning: Net Profit to Drop ~60% Great Wall Motor warned that first-half 2026 net profit will fall 58.97% to 62.92% year-on-year, mainly because overseas tax subsidy gains were delayed and currency swings hurt results. This is a big drop in profit, which weighs on the stock price.

    This is the first concrete profit warning for the period and directly explains why the stock may be under pressure.

  • Half-Year Report Confirms 61% Profit Decline Despite Revenue Growth The actual half-year report showed revenue up 10.58% to 102.1 billion yuan, but net profit attributable to parent fell 61.11% to 2.465 billion yuan. The profit drop was due to delayed overseas tax subsidies and lower exchange gains. This confirms the earlier warning and keeps pressure on the stock.

    This is the official confirmation of the profit warning, making the negative earnings picture concrete for investors.

  • Overseas Sales Surge 45%, Now Over Half of Total Deliveries In the first half, overseas sales jumped 45.46% to 289,000 units, accounting for more than half of total sales, while domestic sales fell 22.53%. Overseas business is now the main growth engine, with production bases in Thailand and Brazil and over 1,600 sales channels abroad.

    This shows a strong offset to weak domestic sales and supports the long-term growth story.

  • Thailand EV Tax Restructuring and Record Australian BEV Sales Thailand plans to restructure EV excise taxes to boost exports, naming GWM among supported plants. Meanwhile, Australia's BEV sales hit a record 24.9% share in August, with GWM among the top 10 brands. These policy and demand tailwinds support overseas growth.

    These are new positive developments that could boost future overseas sales and sentiment.

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.

Changan's profit slumps, but overseas expansion and chip funding offer hope

  • June sales drop 14% Changan's June vehicle sales fell 14.09% year-on-year to 202,000 units, with new energy vehicle sales down 8.28%. This points to weaker demand for its cars, which pressures revenue and profit, and likely weighs on the stock price.

    Directly shows weakening sales, a key driver of earnings and stock performance.

  • H1 profit to plunge 58-68% Changan expects first-half 2026 net profit to fall 57.66%-67.7% due to exchange losses and higher raw material costs. Despite overseas sales growth, the profit drop is a major negative for the stock as it signals lower earnings.

    Profit warning is a direct negative catalyst for the share price.

  • Thailand expansion accelerates Changan met Thailand's PM, targeting 70,000 annual sales by 2030 and expanding local production from 100,000 to 200,000 units. This overseas push can drive future growth and diversify away from weak domestic demand, supporting the stock.

  • 900 million yuan loan for chips and R&D Changan's controlling shareholder will provide a 900 million yuan entrusted loan for chip localization, intelligent driving, and new energy commercial vehicle R&D. This funding supports technology development and reduces reliance on foreign chips, a long-term positive.

    Provides capital for strategic projects, potentially improving competitiveness.
