Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Pony AI Inc. ( PONY ) has just reported 4Q25 earnings. The initial viewing of the numbers was quite bad, with the stock closing about 15% lower yesterday, as I'll explain. As for operations, they're now expanding into Croatia, Qatar, the UAE, and Singapore, and they’ve set a goal of over 20 cities globally by the end of 2026. So if we take the good with the bad, I think the key question we need to answer here is whether Pony can convert its early lead in unit economics and fleet scaling into actual, durable, high-margin network effects. And they need to do it before capital intensity and competition erode any returns. The current data would suggest some strong demand, which is good. However, they’re still in a capital-intensive, execution-heavy phase where sustained profitability is really going to depend on scaling utilisation, lowering BOM costs, and stabilising their revenue mix to move away from those volatile licensing streams. As for my continued buy case, Pony is showing some inflexion into commercialisation. Robotaxi revenue is up about 160% since last year and is growing fast. We even saw some UE break-even in key cities. In my previous coverage , I went over the road to profitability for Pony, and I feel they're still on track. I think there's a clear path to scaling to a 3,000-plus fleet, with some early signs of a viable, high-margin network business. At the same time, its global expansion strategy and ecosystem partnerships with the likes of Toyota, Uber, and Tencent are going to be key to unlocking significantly higher pricing/margins abroad. That's going to be needed to justify the current premium valuation. FY25 earnings Pony’s 4Q25 and FY25 are still showing us a lot of R&D-heavy experimentation, but we’re also seeing some transition into early-stage commercialisation at scale. As you know, Robotaxi is now their central growth engine. In 4Q25, total revenue came in at about $29.1 million, down 18% ...
