One-Year Revenue Growth: +27.4%

New Model Launches On July 9, 2025, Zeekr debuted its revolutionary Super Hybrid Technologies in Wuzhen, China.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025 Revenues Total revenues were RMB27,431 million (US$3,829 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 0.9% from RMB27,671 million for the second quarter of 2024 and an increase of 24.6% from RMB22,019 million for the first quarter of 2025.

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.

Operating Expenses Research and development expenses were RMB2,146 million (US$300 million) for the second quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 42.9% from RMB3,760 million for the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 26.2% from RMB2,908 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. The year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by economies of scale generated following the Zeekr and Lynk & Co business integration.

Right now is the worst time to buy a new iPhone — here's why
When someone asks me when it's the right time to buy an iPhone, I usually tell them "Whenever you need to get a new phone." And I truly believe that — you can drive yourself batty holding out for the latest and greatest hardware, since the nature of technology is that there's always something promising to be more impressive right down the road. But note the "usually" in my "buy a phone when you need a phone" advice. There's one time a year when I think it's a bad idea to spend money on a new iPhone. And folks, we're in that period right now. If you find yourself in the market for one of the best iPhones, better check the calendar first. That's because if you're within a few weeks of an Apple event, it's best to hold off, if possible, just to see what Apple might have in store for its latest devices. And the closer you get to that Apple event, the better idea it is to hold off on a purchase. We don't know exactly when Apple's going to hold its fall launch event, but given Apple's history, it's not to hard to guess an iPhone 17 release date. And we are close enough to that window to where my usual logic about upgrading when you need to no longer applies. Even a casual glance at the last few iPhone releases reveals a pretty universal fact — Apple likes releasing iPhones in the first two weeks of September. That gives the company enough time to get the new devices into stores before the end of the month, so that it has a full quarter worth of sales to show Wall Street for the three months culminating in holiday shopping — the most important time of year in Apple's fiscal calendar. Only once in recent memory has Apple gone through a September without releasing an iPhone. That would be in 2020 — the year the Covid-19 pandemic delayed production on the iPhone 12 and pushed the release later into the fall. No one wants a repeat of that, certainly not Apple. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. But don't take my word for it. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a pretty good source of Apple-related info, has forecast an iPhone event for the second week of September. And if you want to get even more specific, a German site is listing a September 9 event date, with the new iPhone 17 models going on sale September 19. Again, that 10-day window between the announcement and the actual launch is pretty consistent with Apple's recent history. So we have a pretty good idea about when the iPhone 17 models are arriving. And thanks to all the rumors out there about Apple's latest phones, we have a pretty good idea of what new features are on the way, too. At this stage in the evolution of smartphones, we're at a point where we don't see dramatic changes every year. That said, rumors point to some pretty significant improvements coming to the existing iPhone models — and there could be an entirely new device from Apple this fall. The iPhone 17 could be getting one of the more significant changes in the form of an LTPO display. If you're not up to date on the merits of low-temperature polycrystalline oxide panels, don't fret — all you need to know is that it's the technology that enables the adaptive refresh rate on Apple's ProMotion displays. In other words, the entry-level iPhone will finally be able to support a fast refresh rate, allowing for smoother scrolling and more immersive graphics. That alone could make the iPhone 17 worth the price of admission, and that's before you get to more traditional year-over-year improvements to the chipset powering the phone to the battery size. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max could be in line for a marquee edition of their own, as rumors tip those phones to adopt a 48MP telephoto lens. There's some dispute over what kind of optical zoom the upgraded camera would support — some say 3.5x, others are arguing 8x — but there's no doubt that the high-resolution sensor would mean more detailed close-ups from this year's Pro models. Other Pro-specific features like a vapor cooling chamber to help boost performance could also be in the works for the iPhone 17 Pro. Then there's the fourth phone reportedly coming this fall, the iPhone 17 Air. This is supposed to be Apple's attempt at an ultra-thin phone in the vein of the Galaxy S25 Edge, only Apple's version might be even thinner if measurements of an alleged dummy unit prove to be accurate. It's unclear what else the iPhone 17 Air will bring to the table, but if you're in the market for an entirely new design, this phone could be of interest to you. To put it another way, these shouldn't just be run-of-the-mill upgrades from Apple in the fall. And even if you ultimately decide that there's not enough there to justify an upgrade, you're at least putting yourself in a position to make that call should you hold off on a purchase for another few weeks. There is a wrinkle to this year's buy-or-wait decision, and it comes down to iPhone 17 prices. Specifically, there's a concern that ongoing economic turbulence and in flux tariff policies might have an impact on what you pay for Apple's new phones. Earlier this year, a Wall Street Journal report said Apple was considering an increase to the cost of its iPhones, while a more recent analyst forecast had prices going up by $50 from the equivalent iPhone 16 models. That would mean a starting price of $849 for the iPhone 17, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max costing as much as $1,249. While it may be tempting to buy an iPhone 16 now and avoid any iPhone 17 price hikes, I think the window to do that closed during the summer. We're close enough to the rumored iPhone launch to see what features the new devices bring to the table. And if they're not impressive enough or fail to justify any price increase Apple imposes, you can always fall back to the iPhone 16, which should be available at a lower rate in a post-iPhone 17 world. Apple usually keeps a handful of older models around at reduced prices following one of its product launches. So the combination of an Apple event that will be here before you know it and rumored improvements that sound worth examining should put any planned iPhone purchase on hold at this point, no matter what kind of prices we ultimately see.

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:
