Hotai Motor estimates 165,000 vehicle sales for 2026 and expects Toyota and Lexus to sell 13,400 units in October, according to Taiwan News on October 3, 2026. The figures give Hotai Motor stock a concrete operating reference while the company broadens its mobility-services strategy.
Three milestones shape the story
On March 11, 2026, Hotai Motor approved a cash dividend of TWD 20.00 per share, as reported by ToAlpha. On August 12, 2026, its first-half report showed revenue of TWD 160.9 billion and net income attributable to owners of TWD 12.0 billion. On October 3, 2026, management pointed to 165,000 full-year vehicle sales and 13,400 Toyota and Lexus sales for October, according to Taiwan News.
What does the sales target mean?
The 165,000-unit target applies to Hotai's own sales, while the October estimate covers Toyota and Lexus. Taiwan News also reported a 36.2 percent expected October market share for those two brands, giving the forecast a measurable competitive benchmark.
The first-half figures show the earnings base behind the sales outlook. Basic earnings per share reached TWD 21.57 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, while first-half revenue was TWD 160.9 billion, according to ToAlpha. The company is therefore combining a vehicle-distribution business with mobility and travel services rather than relying on car deliveries alone.
Dates and strategic expansion
Hotai Motor's FunNow investment was announced on September 22, 2026, with a planned October 1 closing. The company committed USD 10.0 million for 9,090,909 preferred shares, equal to a 10.00 percent stake, according to TTV Finance. The next earnings date listed by TradingView is November 17, 2026, providing the next scheduled checkpoint for the sales and earnings story.
