Chinese carmaker Geely’s shares plunge 11.6pc after annual sales fall short of target, warns of dismal year ahead


Shares of Geely Automobile Holdings slumped 11.6 per cent on Tuesday after the mainland carmaker missed its sales target for 2018 and forecast flat sales for this year amid a bleak market outlook.

The Hong Kong-listed unit of Geely Auto Group controlled by Chinese billionaire Li Shufu said in a filing to the stock exchange on Monday evening that it had achieved 95 per cent of the targeted sales of 1.58 million units in 2018, following a 44 per cent year on year sales drop in December alone.
