高增速与巨亏损的背离，北汽蓝谷的战略迷局

Core Insights - North汽蓝谷 reported a significant increase in vehicle sales, with a total of 67,200 units sold in the first half of 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 139.73%. However, the company also faced a net profit loss of 2.308 billion yuan, extending its continuous loss period to five and a half years, with cumulative losses exceeding 30 billion yuan [1] - The company's high-end strategy has failed, transitioning from targeting luxury brands to competing on price, leading to a dilution of brand value and profitability challenges [3][4] Sales Performance - The extreme growth in sales was primarily driven by the extreme price reductions of the 极狐 brand, which saw a shift in its pricing strategy from high-end models to more affordable options, with the introduction of models priced below 200,000 yuan [3][4] - The 极狐 T1 model, priced at 62,800 yuan, achieved over 35,000 orders and monthly sales of 15,000 units, but this pricing strategy has solidified the brand's image as a budget option, conflicting with its original high-end positioning [4] Financial Challenges - Despite the increase in sales volume, North汽蓝谷's financial performance deteriorated, with revenue projected at 14.319 billion yuan in 2023 and a further increase to 14.512 billion yuan in 2024, while the average selling price per vehicle dropped by 62.45% [7] - The company's net profit loss is expected to widen to 6.873 billion yuan in 2024, indicating a troubling trend of "selling more but losing more" [7] Brand Strategy Issues - The 享界 brand, developed in collaboration with Huawei, has struggled with unclear positioning and a lack of differentiation, resulting in low sales figures and a failure to penetrate the luxury market effectively [5][9] - The 享界 S9 model, priced between 309,800 and 449,800 yuan, has not resonated with its intended target market, leading to only 3,295 units sold in 2024 [5][9] Internal Conflicts - The dual-brand strategy has led to internal competition rather than synergy, with 极狐 focusing on volume sales while 享界 aims for profitability, resulting in resource allocation issues and strategic misalignment [10][12] - The lack of collaboration between the two brands has hindered North汽蓝谷's ability to leverage its strengths in the competitive electric vehicle market [10][12] Strategic Recommendations - North汽蓝谷 needs to redefine its brand positioning to avoid internal competition and establish a collaborative mechanism between 极狐 and 享界, focusing on volume for one and profitability for the other [13] - The company must balance scale and profit by enhancing product value through technological innovation, moving away from a reliance on low pricing strategies [13]
