Seres Group Co. Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co.’s primary automotive partner, expects to swing to a first-half net loss of up to 2.5 billion yuan ($368 million) due to rising raw material costs and rapid product turnover.

Shares of the Shanghai-listed automaker plunged 10% on Monday following the earnings alert. The company forecast a net loss of 2.2 billion to 2.5 billion yuan for the first six months of 2026, a sharp reversal from the 2.47 billion yuan profit it posted a year ago.
