The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by higher sales volume of the Lynk & Co brand, partially offset by lower sales volume of the Zeekr brand. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by sales growth resulting from the launch of new models during the second quarter of 2025. Revenues from other sales and services were RMB4,515 million (US$630 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 13.8% from RMB5,238 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 54.5% from RMB2,923 million for the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decrease in R&D revenue from related parties in the second quarter of 2025.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin Cost of revenues was RMB21,775 million (US$3,040 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 4.0% from RMB22,677 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 22.3% from RMB17,806 million for the first quarter of 2025.

The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter decreases were mainly driven by economies of scale resulting from business integration, partially offset by expanded technological investments for vehicle models. Selling, general and administrative expenses were RMB3,364 million (US$469 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9.7% from RMB3,725 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 27.2% from RMB2,645 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Circle stock jumps after first-ever public earnings
Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group is seeing its stock (NYSE: CRCL) rise yet again. Shares in the company are up more than 7% in early morning as of the time of this writing. At one point, shares were up as much as 10% after markets opened. These no-fee travel cards are gunning for Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Underwater mortgages are climbing in Florida and Texas housing markets Housing market shift: This map shows where home sellers are cutting prices the most The reason? Circle just posted its first quarterly earnings as a public company, and investors seem to like what they are seeing. Here's what you need to know. Circle posts its first quarterly results as a public company Today, Circle announced its Q2 2025 financial results—the first quarterly results the company has posted as a publicly traded business. The big number most investors seem to care about from Circle's Q2 earnings is its revenue. The company said that for the quarter, its total revenue grew to $658 million. That's a 53% increase year over year. It also said that the circulation of its stablecoin, USDC, grew 90% year over year to reach a total of $61.3 billion at the quarter's end. The more the circulation of Circle's USDC stablecoin grows, the more Circle stands to make. That's because Circle makes the majority of its revenues not from cryptocurrencies themselves, but from U.S. Treasuries. 'Circle, much like a bank, knows that only a fraction of all the USDC in circulation will be redeemed at any one time, so it only needs to keep a portion of reserves in cash to be instantaneously redeemable by USDC holders,' Mitrade points out. 'It invests the rest in short-term U.S. Treasuries.' This means that as the circulation of USDC grows, Circle stands to make more income from its investments in short-term U.S. Treasuries, thereby increasing its revenue. Yet despite the 53% revenue growth Circle announced, the company still posted a net loss of $482 million. That net loss was mainly attributed to IPO-related noncash charges, including stock-based compensation payouts. CRCL stock surged after its June IPO Despite charges related to its IPO significantly contributing to the company's Q2 net loss, Circle's public offering has been very good to investors. Since Circle went public in June, its stock surged. By the end of June, CRCL stock had risen 750%. Circle, like many crypto companies, has been greatly helped by a more friendly crypto regulatory environment under the Trump Administration. Those policies are why more cryptocurrency companies seem more interested in pursuing IPOs, including trading platform eToro, which did so in May, and cryptocurrency exchange Bullish, which is having its IPO tomorrow. Over the past month, however, CRCL stock has lost about 7.65% of its value. As of the time of this writing, with today's post-earnings boost, CRCL shares are hovering around $168.16. When the company went public in June, its IPO share price was $31 per share. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:

Trump's Pay-For-Play Chips Deal Generates Alarm and Optimism
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's controversial plan to take a cut of revenue from chip sales to China is leading to concerns that the US government will find new ways to start charging companies for a range of business activities with other countries. Experts and people familiar with the matter said the surprise deal, in which Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the US, potentially provides a path to enter the Chinese market despite severe export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The question that companies must now confront is whether the risk is worth taking. People familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said companies are struggling to figure out what the president's order means for their future, especially given the unpredictable nature of Trump's decision-making. 'This is truly bizarre and unusual, and the troubling thing — beyond the individual instances of AMD and Nvidia — is the possibility that this will be expanded,' said Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 'Everything is now 'national security,' according to the new definition, which means it's all subject to export licenses and then they give you a license based on your contribution.' There are concerns that US trade agencies could begin charging fees to companies every time there's a meeting to discuss tariffs, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, which issues export licenses, wasn't consulted about the revenue deal, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing private conversations. Trump administration officials defend the idea as a smart way to generate revenue for the US government and suggest it will extend well beyond the chips sector. 'I think we could see it in other industries over time,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. 'I think right now this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta tests, why not expand it?' Bessent defended the deal and rejected any national-security concerns around the decision to sell Nvidia's H20 chip to China — something that had been earlier barred for fear of giving China a boost in the artificial-intelligence race. 'There are no national security concerns here,' Bessent said. 'We would not sell any of the advanced chips. So, the H20, I don't know whether you'd say they're four, five, six levels down the chips stack.' Either way, the deal highlights how Trump has pushed to open a wave of new revenue streams including by taking ownership shares of companies or extracting higher fees to live or work in the US. The US is weighing sales of a so-called 'gold card' residency permit, it won a 'golden share' to have direct say over corporate actions by United States Steel Corp., and it's secured investment pledges and potential revenue-sharing in country-level tariff talks. That's aside from the barrage of product tariffs that have at times left massive dislocations in globally traded markets. The matter further surprised China hawks in Congress, who have been unimpressed by the administration's reassurances. Rep. John Moolenaar, the Michigan Republican who chairs the US House Select Committee on China, questioned the legal basis for the move and suggested it does an end-run around controls put in place to limit the sale of sensitive technology to US adversaries. 'Export controls are a front-line defense in protecting our national security, and we should not set a precedent that incentivizes the government to grant licenses to sell China technology that will enhance its AI capabilities,' he said. It also raises questions about where the administration will steer the revenue. Trump has mused about issuing tariff rebate checks — though he has yet to seriously pursue the idea — while at other times he's said it would go toward narrowing the large budget deficit. The administration had debated launching a sovereign wealth fund before shelving those plans for now. It's too soon to say whether the administration will seek to revive the fund and steer revenue there, one official familiar with deliberations said. 'Trump's aides argue that these measures will strengthen America's AI leadership by maximizing its global influence and market share,' Hal Brands, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a former Pentagon official, wrote in Bloomberg Opinion. 'Yet it is also possible that they will simply eat into America's innovation advantage.' --With assistance from Mackenzie Hawkins and Derek Wallbank.
