An update from BAIC Motor ( (HK:1958) ) is now available.

BAIC Motor has warned investors that its net profit attributable to shareholders for 2025 is expected to fall sharply to about RMB110 million to RMB130 million, an 86.4% to 88.5% decline from 2024. The company attributed the drop mainly to weaker-than-expected vehicle sales amid fierce market competition and rapid shifts in the automotive landscape.

To pursue its three-year leapfrog development strategy, BAIC Motor ramped up spending on new model launches, brand upgrades, sales channels and market investment, which further weighed on profitability in the short term. The unaudited figures remain subject to adjustment, and the company cautioned shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when trading its shares ahead of the final 2025 results due in late March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1958) stock is a Hold with a HK$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BAIC Motor stock, see the HK:1958 Stock Forecast page.
