# UXIN earnings call intelligence LOPJLB CallCard / temporal rollup · freemium · [stock page](https://www.lopjlb.com/stock/UXIN) · [Earnings tab](https://www.lopjlb.com/stock/UXIN?tab=earnings) Updated: 2026-09-29T08:12:32 Quarters analyzed: 8 ## Cross-quarter narrative From Q3 2024 through Q2 2026 Uxin’s earnings calls trace a trajectory of accelerating retail volume, aggressive super‑store rollout, and gradual margin improvement despite persistent pricing headwinds. Volume surged from 3,081 units in Q3 2024 to 16,530 units in Q1 2026, delivering eight straight quarters of >110% YoY growth and prompting guidance for >50,000 units FY 2025 and double‑digit growth in 2026. Gross margin climbed from 4.8% in Q3 2024 to a three‑year high of 7.5% in Q3 2025 before slipping to 6.8% in Q4 2025 and stabilising near 7% in Q1 2026, reflecting both value‑added‑service gains and short‑term pressure from new‑car price wars and new‑store ramp‑up. Capital actions evolved from a $34.8 M equity raise (Mar 2024) to successive financing rounds ($7.5 M DDI, $8‑10 M per superstore, NIO Capital) that funded inventory expansion and a nationwide super‑store network. Execution risk on new stores and margin compression from aggressive new‑car pricing remain recurring concerns, while seasonal demand slowdowns and macro‑economic softness surface intermittently. Overall the company moves from early‑stage profitability milestones toward broader adjusted‑EBITDA positivity, yet the sustainability of margins hinges on stabilising new‑car pricing and successful store integration. ## Latest CallCard · Q2 Uxin posted 89% YoY volume growth, cut inventory turnover to ~20 days, expects gross margin to rebound above 6% in Q3 while navigating a weak used‑car market and pursuing superstore expansion and a CEO share‑buyback plan. **Guidance:** maintained — Guidance for Q3 retail volume of 20,500‑21,000 units and gross margin above 6% is maintained. **Tone:** mgmt 0.6 · Q&A pressure 0.4 · divergence 0.2 Uxin significantly outperformed the broader market, inventory turnover recovered and gross margin is expected to exceed 6% in Q3, indicating optimism. ### Demand visibility Used‑car demand is soft but Uxin’s volume grew sharply, showing resilience.
