Polestar Welcomes Geely Affiliate As Potential Shareholder, Partnership With Volvo Continues
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (NASDAQ:PSNY) may soon welcome Geely Sweden Holding, a subsidiary of Geely Holding Group, as a new shareholder. This potential shift in ownership is under evaluation by Volvo Cars, which could redistribute shares to its shareholders, making Geely Sweden Holding a primary recipient. Volvo Cars will continue its strategic partnership with Polestar in R&D, manufacturing, and other areas. Amid market challenges and competition, Polestar remains optimistic about its sales outlook for 2024. Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska has suggested that Polestar might benefit from going private. Geely's EV arm, Zeekr, plans to double car deliveries in 2024, indicating a strategic alignment with Polestar's focus on electric performance cars.
