Why PSNY stock is down today

Polestar Automotive A ADR (PSNY) fell 28.36% to $8.59 in intraday trading, marking one of its largest single-session declines. The drop followed the company’s announcement of a weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue of $727 million and a cut in its full-year delivery forecast. Polestar also revised its 2026 volume growth guidance downward, citing challenges in the U.S. market and broader regulatory pressures.

What Happened

Polestar reported Q2 revenue that fell short of estimates, contributing to immediate downward pressure on its stock. The company also announced it now expects volume growth in the low-to-mid single digits for 2026, a significant reduction from its prior low-double-digit growth target. This guidance cut was attributed to volatile market conditions and U.S. restrictions affecting the electric vehicle sector. The firm also confirmed it is restructuring its U.S. operations, including a forced exit from the market. These developments raised concerns about Polestar’s long-term growth potential and operational stability.

The stock opened at $12.00 but quickly declined throughout the session, reaching a low of $8.50 before closing near $8.61. The trading session saw unusually high volatility, with the stock falling from its opening price by nearly 30% within three hours. The volume of 0.3 million shares was 2.3 times the 3-month average, indicating strong investor reaction to the news.

What The Data Shows

The stock is currently trading near its all-time low of $8.50, having printed 18 fresh 52-week lows on September 3. Despite a 50.3% revenue increase in the trailing twelve months, Polestar remains unprofitable with a net margin of -77.1% and an EPS of -25.48. Insiders have been net buyers in the past 90 days, with 7 transactions totaling $283,000. The most recent insider purchase occurred on July 6. The stock has also seen a sharp decline over the past 8 sessions, falling from $13.57 to $13.41, before today’s steep drop.

What To Watch

Polestar has no upcoming earnings date listed. Investors should monitor the breadth of coverage and any additional updates on its U.S. restructuring and regulatory challenges.
