Why Is PSNY Stock Rising Today?

• Polestar reported a 50% jump in revenue for the year ending 2025, driven by record car sales.
• CEO Michael Lohscheller hinted at lower double-digit sales growth for 2026 amid geopolitical uncertainties.
• PSNY plans to launch four new cars over the next three years.

Polestar Automotive (PSNY) shares gained pre-market after reporting robust revenue for the year ending 2025, beating analyst expectations. 

The company sold 60,119 cars in 2025, a 34% year-on-year (YoY) increase from 44,851 cars sold in 2024, driven by the transition to an active selling model and accelerated retail expansion. 

However, the carmaker reported a 15% higher net loss of $2.35 billion at the end of 2025 compared to the previous year, as soaring costs, primarily linked to higher tariffs from China to the European Union (EU), weighed on results, given that Polestar’s cars are manufactured in China. 

What Did The Management Say?

Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller stated that in 2026, the company’s operational focus will be on the continued expansion of its sales network, growing the sales points by a planned 20%, to coincide with the largest model offensive in its history, with four new models planned over the next three years.

“While we expect market conditions to become more challenging, amid ongoing geopolitical developments, we will continue to drive financial performance, building on our achievements in 2025, with an improved model mix, sustained cost reduction, and financial discipline.”

Polestar expects car sales to grow in the low double digits amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty as it prepares to launch four new car models over the next three years.
