Geely Automobile delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, reporting notable year-on-year gains across vehicle sales, top-line revenue and net profit. Management attributed the improvement to resilient domestic demand, successful new model introductions and a richer mix of higher-margin SUVs and electrified vehicles. Increased export volumes to overseas markets and steady cost controls also supported margins.
The automaker said unit deliveries rose significantly compared with the prior-year quarter, driven by continued consumer interest in its core passenger vehicle lineup and expanded offerings in the new-energy segment. Analysts noted that Geely’s ability to broaden its EV and hybrid portfolio has helped capture buyers shifting away from traditional combustion models.
Revenue growth reflected both higher volumes and a favorable product mix, while operating efficiencies and tighter expense management helped translate sales gains into stronger profits. Although raw-material and logistics pressures persist across the industry, Geely’s pricing strategy and localized supply chains helped mitigate some inflationary headwinds.
Geely’s management highlighted several strategic priorities that supported the quarter’s results: accelerating electrification, expanding export channels, launching competitive models across segments, and selectively deploying marketing and R&D spend to maximize return. The company also continues to leverage partnerships and joint ventures to scale technology development and reduce unit costs.
Looking ahead, Geely signaled cautious optimism. While macroeconomic uncertainties and semiconductor supply fluctuations remain risks, the company expects demand normalization in key markets and intends to sustain investment in new-energy vehicles and digital services. Investors will be watching upcoming model rollouts and margin trends closely as indicators of whether the recent momentum can be sustained into subsequent quarters.
Overall, the quarter underscored Geely’s progress in reshaping its product mix toward more profitable segments and strengthening its foothold both in China and abroad, positioning the company to benefit from the ongoing transition to electrified mobility.
