Seres Group, the parent company of AITO, has issued a profit warning for the first half of 2026, anticipating a net loss of 1.5 to 1.8 billion yuan. This marks a significant reversal from the 2.94 billion yuan profit reported in the same period last year. The losses are primarily concentrated in the second quarter, with the core subsidiary AITO Automotive expected to report a net loss of 1.9 to 2.15 billion yuan for that period. Despite increasing vehicle deliveries and strong sales for new models like the AITO M9, the company attributes the financial downturn to rising raw material costs and significant asset impairment charges due to rapid technological advancements and model updates.
