Is this Sino-Swedish brand headed to the U.S.? The brand debuted on the stock exchange at a value of more than $5 billion.

Geely Auto, the Hangzhou-based owner of Polestar and Volvo, has too many brands. But lately, one of them in particular kind of stands out: Zeekr. This morning, Zeekr officially entered the U.S. stock exchange at a price of $21 per share and an estimated valuation of more than $5 billion. Within a few minutes of officially being open for trading, and with Zeekr EVs parked outside for all of Lower Manhattan to see, the stock touched nearly $27, pushing the company’s valuation to $7 billion.

But while Polestar is really struggling for sales, Zeekr has consistently grown. Part of that success is offering a much fuller lineup of electric sedans, SUVs, wagons and even vans, while Polestar is just now getting around to adding two more crossovers after relying solely on the Polestar 2 sedan for so long. For March 2024, Zeekr is up 117% year-over-year. It also has delivered more than 230,000 cars while expanding into more international markets.
