Kandi published two press releases at the same minute this morning, 7:00 AM ET. One was first-half 2026 unaudited financial results. The other was a follow-on order for CATL heavy-truck battery swap stations. $KNDI is +32.65%.
The company wrote the key qualifier into its own headline: unaudited. No auditor has signed off on those half-year numbers yet. The follow-on order is a purchase commitment, not revenue already inside them. Two releases at the same timestamp produce one candle, but they are still two separate claims to check.
For scale, here is cross-stock history. Before-the-open earnings days that opened 30% or more higher: 82 prior sessions, and 67% of them closed below that session's open. That describes the sample, not today. An intraday gain also does not prove Kandi opened inside that bucket.
Last Thursday it was #INLF on first-half results: opened 6.25, closed 5.1, same session.
