Seres Group anticipates a net loss of 1.5 to 1.8 billion yuan for the first half of 2026, a significant downturn from a profit of 2.94 billion yuan in the same period last year. This projected loss is attributed to rising production costs, including increases in raw materials like storage chips, industrial metals, and lithium carbonate. The company also cited adjustments to the book value of certain assets due to technological and model obsolescence, which have impacted the performance of its subsidiary, AITO (问界汽车), causing it to shift from profit to loss.
