Polestar stock holds Neutral rating at Cantor Fitzgerald despite delivery beat

Investing.com - Polestar Automotive Holding Uk Plc (NASDAQ:PSNY) maintained a Neutral rating from Cantor Fitzgerald following the company’s second-quarter delivery report. According to InvestingPro data, the company operates with a concerning gross profit margin of -43% and holds substantial debt of $5.12 billion.

The electric vehicle manufacturer delivered 18,049 vehicles in the second quarter of 2025, exceeding Cantor Fitzgerald’s estimate of 11,744 vehicles and surpassing the 13,072 deliveries recorded in the same period last year.

For the first half of 2025, Polestar has delivered 30,319 vehicles, representing a significant increase from the 20,047 vehicles delivered in the first half of 2024.

Despite the delivery beat, Cantor Fitzgerald maintained its Neutral stance, citing Polestar’s paused 2025 financial guidance from May 12 amid deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and tariff uncertainty, along with the company’s substantial capital requirements estimated at over $2 billion through 2028.

The firm noted that Polestar faces material impacts from tariffs and geopolitical tensions due to its primary manufacturing operations in China, though the company has reaffirmed its annual retail sales volume growth target of 30-35% between 2025 and 2027.

In other recent news, Polestar Automotive Holding UK Plc reported a significant 38% increase in second-quarter sales volumes, delivering approximately 18,049 vehicles.

Additionally, Polestar secured a $200 million equity investment from PSD Investment Limited, with the funds intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. This financial commitment underscores the confidence of key stakeholders in Polestar’s growth strategy. Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated its neutral rating on Polestar, citing the company’s recent sales performance and the equity investment. The firm noted that Polestar’s June U.S. sales increased by 83%, primarily driven by the Polestar 3 SUV. The Swedish automaker continues to expand its retail presence, operating in 28 markets globally. These developments highlight Polestar’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in the competitive electric vehicle market.
