Why Is PSNY Stock Dropping?
The answer lies in a turbulent period marked by financial shifts and market challenges. By February, Volvo, an EV company, sold a 30% stake in Polestar to its parent company, Geely. Despite borrowing $950 million from 12 global banks, this was still not enough to cover the $1.3 billion required to pay off 2025’s debt. Subsequently, the situation quickly deteriorated: Polestar’s Q1 results revealed heavy losses, netting $274.3 million, a significant increase from the $37.7 million loss during the same period the previous year. Consequently, this negative news caused a sharp decline in the company’s stock.
Despite the challenges, Polestar has achieved noteworthy milestones. The company delivered 13,000 cars in three months, marking an 80% increase from the previous quarter. However, it faces resistance to its product launches due to new import duties and relentless pressure on electric vehicle (EV) prices in the global market, particularly in China. To address these challenges, Polestar has implemented significant retrenchments, including a 15% reduction in workforce, and has adjusted its business plans to stay afloat.
Despite the hurdles, Polestar remains a beacon of innovation and resilience in the EV market. As the world continues to pivot towards sustainable transportation, Polestar’s commitment to cutting-edge design and technology places it in a strong position to capitalize on this growing demand.
