-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
Polestar Automotive (PSNY) posted Q4 net loss of -$799M, well short of the -$452M consensus but up from -$1,183M in Q4 2024. Revenue rose 54% Y/Y to $887M ($77M ahead of consensus), reflecting a 27% increase in total vehicle sales to 15,608 units. PSNY's gross margin came in at -38%, an improvement from -147% in the year-ago quarter. PSNY's liquidity position improved substantially with year-end cash of $1.16B, up from $739M a year earlier, boosted by $1.2B in equity raises since June 2025 and $639M in debt-to-equity conversions. PSNY's 2025 free cash flow of -$1.37B worsened from -$1.35B in 2024. The company said it continues to expect its global retail sales volumes to increase by a low double-digit rate versus 2025 sales of 60,119 vehicles (+34% Y/Y), saying the global environment is expected to remain highly uncertain in 2026. In our view, risks surrounding PSNY remain very high, and its guidance doesn't inspire confidence that its free cash flow is going to improve materially in 2026.
