Leapmotor's new high-end brand is ready to launch.
After navigating the volatility of the off-season, Leapmotor finally unveiled its hand. On May 15, 2026, Leapmotor reported its Q1 results, with sales growing by over 25% year-on-year, but revenue increasing only marginally by 8%. The gross margin adjusted by 5.5 percentage points to reach 9.4%. Amidst the slow sales season at the beginning of the year, Leapmotor was not spared, experiencing a pullback like many of its peers. During the earnings call that evening, CFO Li Tengfei confirmed that Q1 sales were impacted by industry seasonality, preventing full realization of economies of scale. While production capacity and component reserves increased compared to the same period last year, limited growth in Q1 sales due to seasonal factors resulted in lower capacity utilization.

Stocks in Hong Kong showed unusual movements as automotive stocks plummeted across the board, with Honda and Toyota's significant sales declines in China weighing down the sector.
Gelonghui, May 13 | All automobile stocks in the Hong Kong stock market fell today. APOLLO Mobility plummeted by 10%, Geely Auto dropped by 5.67%, Leapmotor and BYD fell nearly 3%, Chery Automobile and Seres declined over 2%, while XPeng Group, Great Wall Motor, and Li Auto also followed the downward trend. The decline in Hong Kong-listed automobile stocks today was mainly driven by three compounding factors: a significant drop in sales of joint venture automakers in China, mounting pressure on industry profits, and additional market concerns about specific companies like XPeng. Analysts noted that the sharp decline in April sales of two major Japanese joint ventures, Toyota and Honda, in the Chinese market represented the most direct fundamental negative factor, further exacerbating concerns about the overall automotive sector.
