Central China <8322 inside information profit warning

Pony.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: PONY) has announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2025, highlighting a significant 76% year-over-year increase in total revenues. The growth was primarily driven by a substantial 300% surge in Robotaxi fare revenues. The company has also achieved a notable milestone by launching fully-driverless commercial operations in Shanghai, becoming the first and only company to operate fully-driverless Robotaxi services across all four tier-one cities in China [1].

Pony.ai's Gen-7 Robotaxi vehicles are being mass-produced, with over 2,001 units produced since the start of mass production two months ago. The company aims to meet its target of 1,000 vehicles by the end of 2025 [1]. Despite a net loss of $53.3 million, the company remains focused on achieving positive unit economics and a sustainable business model as it scales its operations [1].

The company has expanded its operational footprint in new markets, including partnerships in Dubai and South Korea. Additionally, Pony.ai has entered a strategic partnership with Shenzhen Xihu Corporation to deploy a fleet of over 1,000 Gen-7 Robotaxis in Shenzhen [1].

While the company's financial results show promising growth, there are concerns about the company's ongoing financial struggles and potential inefficiencies in its operations. The net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $53.3 million, compared to $30.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. Operating expenses increased by 75.1% to $64.7 million, highlighting potential inefficiencies or unsustainable spending in business operations [1]. The revenue from Robotruck services decreased by 9.9% year-over-year, raising concerns about the company’s diversification and reliance on specific service sectors for profitability [1].
