通用大涨，大众乏力，上汽三季报冰火两重天

Core Viewpoint - SAIC Motor Corporation has shown a recovery in its performance due to joint ventures, but the uncertainty surrounding its transition is heightened by the underperformance of its new energy brands like IM and Hongqi [1][11]. Financial Performance - In Q3 2025, SAIC reported a revenue of 169.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.2%, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of 2.08 billion yuan, surging 644.9% [3]. - For the first three quarters, total revenue reached 468.99 billion yuan, with a net profit of 8.101 billion yuan and a net cash flow from operating activities of 31.94 billion yuan [3]. - The gross margin for Q3 was 8.99%, up 0.50 percentage points year-on-year, while the net margin improved to 2.21%, an increase of 1.51 percentage points compared to the previous year [4]. Sales Performance - In Q3, SAIC sold 1.141 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 38.7%, with SAIC-GM Wuling leading sales at 404,400 units, a 49.77% increase from the previous year [7]. - The sales performance varied significantly among different brands, with SAIC-GM achieving a remarkable growth of 156.35% [7][8]. - IM's sales were only 23,500 units in Q3, representing a mere 2.06% of total sales, indicating a struggle to establish a foothold in the market [8][9]. Strategic Developments - SAIC is expanding its partnerships to enhance its smart vehicle capabilities, collaborating with OPPO and Huawei [11]. - The launch of the Hongqi brand's H5 model saw significant pre-order interest, with 160,000 units ordered, but actual sales fell short of expectations, achieving only around 10,000 units in the first month [11]. Challenges and Outlook - Despite the recovery in sales, the performance of new energy brands like IM and Hongqi remains uncertain, contributing to the overall risk in SAIC's transition strategy [1][11].
