I bought 10,000 Geely shares at $24.35 (HKD). The total invested sum is about $42,000 (SGD). It closed 1% lower.
Geely is a big car manufacturer in China. Their main sale is in conventional cars. I recalled that they introduced a low cost electric car that sold very well in China. I recall that their price is US$5,000 butI could not find the article to confirm this figure.
Geely is now introducing a premium electric car that will compete with Tesla.
Here is a recent report about Geely.

Geely will be reporting its financial results in two days time. I decided to buy the stock in anticipation of good results which, I hope, will push up the stock price.
Apart from selling their own brands, Geely will also be a contract manufacturer for other electric car brands. Some people even speculate that they may make the Apple car - but this is just speculation.
According to the data in Yahoo Finance, the revenue and earning is expected to drop by about 25%. This is reflected in the recent drop in the stock price. I hope that the actual results will beat expectation. Wish me good luck.
