Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd Class AExpects significantly larger net loss in H1 2026 vs prior year due to competition, costs, and joint venture weakness.

GAC Group disclosed its earnings forecast, expecting a net loss attributable to shareholders of the parent company of 4.06 billion to 4.57 billion yuan in the first half of 2026, compared with a loss of 2.538 billion yuan in the same period last year. Net profit after deducting non-recurring gains and losses is expected to show a loss of 4.8 billion to 5.6 billion yuan, compared with a loss of 2.945 billion yuan a year earlier. The company said that intense competition in the domestic auto market, increased sales investment in its own brands, changes in product mix, and rising raw material costs led to a decline in profits for its own brands. Meanwhile, lower terminal sales and cost pressures at its joint venture brands reduced investment income, and exchange rate fluctuations caused foreign exchange losses, all of which weighed on performance.
