What the numbers show
The 21% YoY growth in total sales reflects a meaningful volume recovery compared to the prior year period. However, the shortfall of approximately 25,780 units against the analyst estimate of 245,000 units points to a gap between actual performance and market expectations for the month. The achievement of over 1 million units in just five months highlights strong cumulative demand despite the single-month miss.
