Stock Track03-27 21:34

Pony AI Inc.'s stock plummeted 5.14% during intraday trading on Friday, extending recent losses.

The decline follows the company's latest financial results, which revealed weaker-than-expected profitability metrics. According to analyst reports, Pony AI's gross profit margin for the fourth quarter dropped sharply to 12.7% from 21.0% in the year-earlier period, missing market expectations. This margin compression was attributed to an increasing revenue contribution from lower-margin Robotruck services.

Despite posting its first profitable quarter, investor sentiment turned negative due to concerns over the absence of near-term catalysts for margin improvement and a projected timeline of three more years before the company might achieve sustainable, operations-driven profitability at the group level. Analysts also noted that investors currently prefer rival WeRide for its more attractive valuation risk-reward profile.
