China's used-car retailer Uxin lands $50 million from NIO Capital and Prestige Shine Group to fuel superstore expansion, while quarterly results show revenue growth and narrowing losses.

Uxin Limited (UXIN), the China-focused used-car retailer, is putting fresh capital to work at exactly the right moment. The company just closed a $50 million funding round while posting its strongest quarterly performance in recent memory, setting up an aggressive push into new markets.

The timing makes sense when you look at the numbers. Uxin reported total revenue of 879.3 million Chinese yuan (about $123.5 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, representing significant growth both sequentially and year-over-year. More importantly, the business fundamentals are moving in the right direction.

The Money Behind the Momentum

Uxin entered binding share subscription agreements with affiliates of NIO Capital and Prestige Shine Group Limited for the $50 million raise. NIO Capital-linked investors are putting in $20 million, while Prestige Shine Group is committing $30 million, subject to standard closing conditions.

The deal structure has Uxin issuing approximately 5.25 billion Class A ordinary shares at a price equivalent to $2.859 per American depositary share. For longtime backers, this represents a continued vote of confidence in the company's brick-and-mortar expansion strategy.

Sales Volume Tells the Story

Retail unit sales hit 14,020 vehicles during the quarter, more than doubling compared to the same period last year. Overall transaction volume reached 15,904 units, showing strong demand across the platform.

The profitability picture is improving too. Gross margin climbed to 7.5%, one of the company's strongest levels in recent quarters. Operating losses and adjusted EBITDA losses both narrowed despite increased spending on expansion and marketing, suggesting the unit economics are working even as Uxin scales up.

Founder, Chairman, and CEO Kun Dai emphasized how the new capital strengthens the company's financial foundation for its next growth phase. "We are delighted to receive continued support from the investors," Dai said, noting that the proceeds are expected to fund four to six new superstores in 2026 while reinforcing the balance sheet.

The combination of stronger operational performance and fresh institutional backing gives Uxin runway to execute its superstore rollout across China. Higher volumes and better margins are offsetting the costs of expansion, which is exactly what you want to see when a retailer is trying to scale.

UXIN Price Action: UXIN shares were up 4.47% at $3.74 during premarket trading on Friday, according to market data.
