Pasaran Saham Geely Di China Bertumbuh Separuh Pertama 2020

Sama seperti pembuat kereta lain, Geely telah dilanda wabak COVID-19. Keuntungan bersih turun sebanyak 43% tahun ke tahun walaupun telah meningkatkan bahagian pasarannya di China dari 6.1% kepada 6.5%. Pertumbuhan pasaran saham lebih mengagumkan apabila anda hanya mempertimbangkan pembuat kereta China, dalam hal ini Geely mengalami kenaikan 15.3% TIV pada tahun 2019 kepada 17.9% tahun ini.

Kesukaran yang dihadapi oleh Geely telah memaksa mereka untuk menyemak semula sasaran mereka sebanyak 6% dari segi keseluruhan sasaran penjualan mereka. Mereka kini dijangka berakhir tahun ini dengan memindahkan 1.32 juta kereta.

Di tengah-tengah wabak itu, Geely sebenarnya agak proaktif. Sejak awal, mereka membuat komitmen untuk melengkapkan semua kenderaan mereka dengan pembersih udara N95, yang sudah mula masuk ke beberapa kenderaan Proton. Kami tidak pasti sejauh mana keberkesanannya terhadap memerangi virus itu, tetapi kami tabik mereka kerana mereka mengunakan kesempatan itu untuk beberapa liputan media.

Geely Automobile Holdings Limited (Group) (HK.0175), the Hong Kong-listed subsidiary of Geely Auto Group, released its interim results for the first half of 2020.

As with all industries, Geely Auto Group’s performance was affected by the CoVid-19 epidemic in the first half of 2020 which resulted in a slowdown in global economic activity, and an unstable international trade situation. In the face of uncertainty, Geely Auto Group continued to nurture new opportunities and new growth points inline with consumer expectations.

Despite immense difficulties faced by the industry as a result of the CoVid-19 epidemic earlier in the year, the Group cumulative sales from January to June reached 530,446 units, ranking first among Chinese automakers. In spite of decreased Year-on-Year sales, the Geely Auto saw its wholesale market share in the overall Chinese market increase from 6.1% in 2019 to 6.5% in 2020 according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Among Chinese brands, Geely Auto market share increase was even more apparent rising from 15.3% in 2019 to 17.9% in 2020. At the same time, the Group’s profits have also become more diversified with Geely finance offerings becoming a new growth point in the first half. Net profits from Geely’s auto financing joint-venture with BNP Paribas, Genius AFC increased 82% Year-on-Year to RMB 423 million.

Setbacks in Q1 passed with positive year-on-year growth in Q2; May and June saw combined Geely Auto and Lynk & Co brand sales increase by 20% and 21% respectively year-on-year, showing a trend towards a strong recovery. However in the face of continued uncertainties in the near future, Geely Auto Group management have revised sales group 2020 full year target down 6% from 1.41 million to 1.32 million.

The Group’s parent company, Geely Holding Group’s strong commitment to R&D investment over the years has led to a strong foundation of core technologies in electrification, modular architectures, intelligent connectivity, and autonomous driving. In terms of Level 2 driver’s assistance adoption rate, the Group ranks first in China. In the first half of this year, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co reached an exclusive global strategic partnership with Waymo, the world leader in autonomous driving technologies.

Mr. An Conghui, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said “In the face of constant change in the global automotive industry and the complex international trade situation, Geely Auto has always remained committed to independent R&D and improving the company’s innovative capabilities. In the second half of this year, Geely will continue to work hard, deepen reforms, focus on users, turn “challenges” into “opportunities,” and work towards increasing market share and healthy growth in a bid to create the best products and services for our Geely Auto Group users.”
