Geely Automobile reported a robust 46.2% year-on-year increase in core profit for the first half of 2026, reaching RMB 9.68 billion (USD 1.4 billion), according to interim results released on August 17, as reported by KrASIA.

The company’s revenue also rose 14.7% to RMB 173.6 billion (USD 25.8 billion) during the six months ended June 30, driven by higher-priced vehicle sales and significant export growth, which offset a decline in domestic sales.

This performance highlights Geely’s ability to capitalize on international markets amid challenges at home, a dynamic that Japanese investors are watching closely as automakers worldwide adjust strategies in the evolving global automotive sector.
