China Automotive Systems reported preliminary, unaudited EPS sales of 567,314 units in Q3 2026, up 40.1% year over year, and 1,461,381 units in the first nine months, up 32.7%. Its board approved a buyback of up to $5M over 12 months, at no more than $5.50 per share.

This is an operational growth update alongside a new capital-return authorization, rather than a full earnings report. Subsequent audited results and disclosures of actual repurchases would show whether unit growth translates into financial performance and the authorization is used.
