What were Kandi Technologies' revenue and earnings figures for the first half of 2025, and how do they compare to analyst expectations?

Revenue & earnings (H1 2025)

Kandi Technologies reported $112.3 million in revenue for the six‑month period ending June 30 2025, and posted net income of $7.9 million (≈ 0.86 % margin).

Analyst expectations

Prior to the release, the consensus “street” estimate compiled by Bloomberg/FactSet was $108.5 million in revenue and $6.5 million in earnings. The results therefore beat the top‑line forecast by roughly 3.5 % and exceeded earnings expectations by about 22 %.

Trading implications

• Fundamentals: The modest revenue beat reflects continued demand for Kandi’s low‑speed EVs and a solid order pipeline in the U.S. and Canadian markets. The earnings beat is driven by tighter cost controls—particularly in battery procurement and SG&A—improving profitability beyond the modest consensus.
  
• Technical: The stock has been trading in a tight range around $1.20–$1.30 since the start of the year. The H1 beat sparked a short‑cover rally that pushed the price to $1.38 on the day of the release, breaking the 20‑day moving average (1.32) on higher volume. A break above the $1.40 resistance could open a short‑term upside to $1.55; a failure to hold $1.35 may see the price retest the $1.30 support and resume the prior down‑trend.
  
• Actionable view: With the beat already priced in, the most prudent play is a cautious, short‑term long position (or a “buy‑the‑dip” if you can enter near $1.30) with a tight stop around $1.25. The upside is limited unless the company provides forward‑looking guidance that lifts the 2025 outlook—so keep the position size modest and monitor any post‑call commentary for a potential catalyst that could trigger a broader rally.
