The article presents factual financial data without overt bias, making it a reliable source for understanding the automotive industry's current state.

The financial statements of automakers for the first half of the year indicate that the increase in product prices during this period has not led to a uniform improvement in the financial status of major automotive companies. While Iran Khodro has achieved operational profit, the losses of Saipa and Pars Khodro have increased. Despite Iran Khodro recording a gross profit of 14.8 trillion tomans and moving from operational loss to profit, Saipa is facing an operational loss of 27 trillion tomans and Pars Khodro is experiencing a loss close to 8 trillion tomans, exacerbating their financial losses. This divergence in the financial performance of automakers has occurred while rising production and financing costs remain one of the main challenges in this industry, and the increase in product prices has not led to financial improvement for all companies.
