Polestar Reports Disappointing H1 Earnings, Sending Shares Down Nearly 30%
On September 3, 2026, Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (NASDAQ: PSNY) saw its stock plummet by nearly 29.4% following the release of disappointing first-half earnings results for 2026. Despite a slight improvement in gross profit margin and reduced losses compared to H1 2025, the company still reported an $842 million net loss during the period. Sales volume increased slightly by 0.4%, but revenue dropped by 4.4% year-over-year. Polestar also announced a significant reduction in its production growth plans for the remainder of the year and warned that new models may face weak demand, citing an already competitive market environment. Additionally, U.S. regulators have banned the sale of Polestar's 2027 model cars in America due to national security concerns. The stock decline reflects investor concern over Polestar’s financial performance and future outlook.
