Eunice Lee’s rating is based on Geely Automobile Holdings’ strong first-quarter performance and positive future outlook. The company reported significant revenue growth and an impressive increase in unit deliveries, driven by robust demand for its electric vehicles. The improvement in gross margin and operational efficiency further supports the positive assessment, as evidenced by reduced selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Additionally, Geely’s strategic move to privatize Zeekr is seen as a step towards addressing operational inefficiencies and enhancing resource integration in the competitive EV market. Despite some concerns over corporate governance, the company’s optimistic projections for Zeekr’s future deliveries, supported by strong demand for new models, contribute to the Buy rating. Overall, these factors combined with a stable market position justify Eunice Lee’s positive outlook on Geely’s stock.
