Analysis
This filing reveals a critical turning point for Polestar, demonstrating strong commercial momentum with a 50% increase in full-year revenue and a positive adjusted gross margin in Q4 2025. Crucially, the company has secured approximately $1.2 billion in new equity and converted $0.6 billion of debt to equity since June 2025, significantly de-risking its financial position and providing substantial runway for its ambitious product offensive.
