About ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding Limited

ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding Limited is a China-based electric vehicle manufacturer that operates as part of the Geely group, one of the largest automotive conglomerates in China. ZEEKR focuses on designing, developing, and selling premium electric vehicles, targeting both domestic and international markets.

The company has reported rapid growth in deliveries and revenues over recent years, frequently highlighting strong year-over-year increases in vehicle sales.

The Allegations

ZEEKR is under investigation for allegedly inflating its reported vehicle sales through a scheme involving pre-insuring cars and booking them as sales before they reached actual customers. On July 19, 2025, a Reuters article revealed that ZEEKR had seemingly engaged in this practice, particularly in late 2024, by working with a Xiamen dealership to meet aggressive sales targets. The report detailed how the company allegedly counted these pre-insured vehicles as sales, even though they had not been delivered to end customers.

Following this disclosure, ZEEKR’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) experienced a significant decline. On July 21, 2025, the ADR closed at $28.99, down $1.08 or 3.59 percent, erasing an estimated $240–270 million in market value. While there was a modest rebound in the following days, a substantial net loss remained as of July 23, 2025.

The timing of this stock price drop closely tracked the Reuters report, and there were no other company-specific or market-wide news events that could explain the move during that period. This suggests that the decline was potentially caused by the revelation of the alleged sales inflation scheme.

Several of the company’s public statements are now under scrutiny for potentially being misleading. For example, on Oct. 31, 2024, ZEEKR announced October deliveries of 25,049 units, a 92 percent year-over-year jump, and touted record growth. However, the Reuters exposé later indicated that many of these deliveries were not genuine end-customer sales but were instead pre-insured vehicles counted as sales.

Similarly, in its Q3 2024 financial results released Nov. 14, 2024, CEO Andy An and CFO Jing Yuan highlighted “record-high deliveries” of 55,003 vehicles and significant revenue and margin improvements. If, as alleged, many of these sales were artificially inflated through pre-insurance, these statements may have misrepresented the company’s true growth and profitability.

The pattern continued in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 results, with the company touting “the highest delivery volume since inception” and “record profitability,” while allegedly omitting the impact of the sales inflation scheme. It seems that at no point did ZEEKR disclose its use of pre-insured vehicles to boost sales figures, nor did it warn of potential regulatory scrutiny, despite a government crackdown on such practices.

Dealers reportedly faced direct pressure from ZEEKR to comply with the booking scheme, and many buyers unknowingly purchased vehicles that had already been registered. The company’s swift response to the allegations, including a public denial and announcement of an internal investigation, suggests management may have been aware of the irregularities.

The investigation is examining whether ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding Limited, CEO Andy An, and CFO Jing Yuan may have violated federal securities laws by making material misrepresentations and omissions in their SEC filings, earnings releases, and public statements. The preliminary estimate of class-wide damages is in the range of $100–200 million, based on the stock price drop and the number of shares affected.
