What held

• Gross margin stayed above 20% (20.7% in Q2, 20.6% in Q1) and vehicle margin was flat at 12.1%, in line with the margin the verdict describes (facts 1, 2).
• The services line is still the margin lever: 75.1% services margin on milestone-driven technical R&D revenue from one car manufacturer (fact 1). Whether that customer is Volkswagen is not stated in the release.
• The balance sheet is still net-cash on the headline cash position, down RMB1.61B in the quarter against a RMB1.34B net loss (facts 2, 4).
• The loss is wider than a year ago (RMB1.34B against RMB0.48B), so the "near-breakeven" word in the verdict describes FY25, not 2026 to date (fact 2). The verdict line is not edited.
• The seed catalysts "Q2 2026 results vs. 100-106k delivery guide + GM" and "monthly delivery prints" have both printed (facts 1, 3). The 2H26 volume re-acceleration the seed waits for shows in Q3 (+15% QoQ) but not yet against a year earlier on a nine-month basis (fact 3).
