GAC plans FAW Toyota stake deal. GAC stock sits 45.89 percent below its high
Published on 10/07/2026 at 05:57 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSGAC (ISIN CNE100000Q35) was trading at HKD 2.37 on Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, which is 45.89 percent below its HKD 4.38 52-week high recorded in the latest quoted range. As Investing.com reported on September 29, 2026, GAC plans to acquire a 50.00 percent stake in FAW Toyota from FAW Group, with FAW expected to become GAC's second-largest shareholder.
FAW Toyota deal changes the equation
The proposed transaction would give GAC a 50.00 percent ownership interest in FAW Toyota alongside Toyota Motor Corporation. The purchase is planned through the issuance of new A-shares and matching funds, while the final transaction value remains subject to audit and valuation work.
NewTimeSpace reported on September 15, 2026, that the arrangement remained at the planning stage and required internal and regulatory approvals. That qualification matters because the strategic upside is linked to a transaction that has not yet reached a formal binding agreement.
Revenue grows while losses widen
GAC's first-half 2026 sales revenue reached CNY 46.50 billion, up 9.13 percent from the prior-year period, according to Moomoo. The same report showed a net loss attributable to parent-company shareholders of CNY 4.47 billion, with the loss widening 75.98 percent year over year.
The operating mix is shifting toward electric vehicles. GAC sold 773,100 vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 2.35 percent, while new-energy vehicle sales rose 68.80 percent to 260,200 units. That contrast gives the FAW Toyota plan a clear strategic test: it must strengthen earnings without weakening the group's electric-vehicle expansion.
