PONY Stock's Momentum Tumbles As Macquarie Slashes Price Target Despite Q1 Beat

Benzinga05-27 20:15

Shares of Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY) were in focus as its Benzinga Edge technical momentum score fell to 2.59, overshadowed by a massive first-quarter revenue beat, accelerated fleet expansion, and significantly raised 2026 guidance.

Technical Indicators Hit Bottom Tier

Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings reveal a dismal momentum score, a composite metric that measures a stock’s “relative strength based on its price movement patterns and volatility over multiple timeframes, ranked as a percentile against other stocks”.

Driven by this low momentum, the company also showed a weak price trend in the short, medium, and long-term. The stock‘s performance reflects this prolonged weakness, having plummeted 46.35% over the past year, highlighting a disconnect between its market valuation and internal operations.

Macquarie Cuts Price Target

Despite these operational victories and raised targets, Macquarie analyst Eugene Hsiao maintained an “Outperform” rating while lowering the stock’s price target slightly from $25.00 to $24.00.

The analyst firm expressed a “Cautiously Positive” sentiment, noting that they “cut the price target on concerns over rising OpEx and cash burn”. Validating the market’s bearish momentum, Macquarie specifically highlighted a “sequential cash burn acceleration QoQ, with FCF outflow of USD87m vs. USD35m in 4Q25”.
