Faraday Future fell nearly 19%

Faraday Future reported at US$0.675, a decrease of 18.58%, with a market value of US$38.756 million.

According to Jiemian News, on November 13, local time, Faraday Future announced its third quarter financial report for 2023, which showed that the company achieved revenue for the first time in the quarter, with vehicle sales revenue totaling US$551,000. So far, Faraday Future has delivered 7 FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance to users.

Although it has achieved a phased breakthrough, Faraday Future is still far from reaching the break-even point. In the third quarter, the company had a net loss of US$78 million. However, compared with the net loss of more than US$100 million in the same period last year, the loss in the current quarter has narrowed.

According to Faraday Future’s current factory improvement and ramp-up plan, its goal next year is to achieve the production of approximately 1,000 vehicles. The company expects to start a new phase of delivery at the end of the first quarter of 2024, that is, to fully deliver vehicles to users.

Previously, Faraday Future originally planned to start delivering 300 limited-edition units of its first mass-produced model, the Futurist Alliance, in April this year, but it has been repeatedly delayed due to various reasons. Jia Yueting posted on social media that the company encountered problems with insufficient industrialization capabilities and financing capabilities. Multiple ticket bounces may damage Faraday Future’s brand credibility. The company’s stock price has previously been below $1 for a long time. According to the U.S. stock market system, companies with stock prices below $1 will face the risk of delisting and bankruptcy.

Jia Yueting stated in an open letter on the evening of June 21 that the development opportunities for Faraday Future lie in breaking the financial bottleneck through share mergers and share expansions. In order to keep his seat on the listing, Jia Yueting announced a reverse stock split to boost trading sentiment. At the same time, in order to ease operating pressure, Jia Yueting will continue to raise US$300 million.
