Autoindustrie: Polestar senkt Prognose – Aktie fällt um fast 30 Prozent

Polestar, the Swedish automotive manufacturer, has significantly reduced its sales forecast for the current year. According to the company, in 2026, they anticipate only a "low to moderate single-digit volume growth," rather than the initially envisioned double-digit percentage increase. This was announced during Polestar's half-year presentation on Thursday.

The already struggling stock price fell sharply in early trading on Wall Street, reaching its lowest point of the day and dropping more than 30 percent from the previous day's price to around $8.20. The decline was attributed to a decision made by the US Department of Commerce, which imposed significant pressure on manufacturers of cars with technology related to China and Russia.

While Polestar, along with Swedish premium manufacturer Volvo, is majority-owned by the Chinese Geely Group, Volvo is not affected by the regulation. However, starting from the 2027 model year, Polestar will no longer be able to sell new cars in the United States.
