XPeng Inc., a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, has a 21.09% stake held by institutional investors. Analysts have mixed ratings on the stock, with a consensus "Moderate Buy" and a price target averaging $17.52. Recent earnings showed a smaller loss than expected, and several hedge funds increased their holdings in the company.
Barclays has raised its price target for XPeng shares to $20 from $7, maintaining an Underweight rating due to concerns over valuation despite strong vehicle delivery growth and a 147% stock surge in six months. Analysts highlight XPeng's momentum in model updates and new product launches, while cautioning that the stock may be overvalued at current levels. Other firms, including Bernstein and UBS, have also adjusted their price targets, reflecting optimism around XPeng's AI-driven initiatives amid a broader rise in Chinese EV stocks.
Barclays has raised its price target for XPeng shares to $20 from $7, maintaining an Underweight rating due to concerns over valuation despite strong vehicle delivery growth and a 147% stock surge in six months. The company is focusing on refreshing models and launching new products, but analysts caution that the stock may be overvalued given its Price-to-Book ratio of 5.1 and negative earnings per share of -$0.84. Other firms, including Bernstein and UBS, have also adjusted their outlooks, reflecting XPeng's promising performance and advancements in AI technology.
Barclays analyst Jiong Shao has raised the price target for XPeng (NYSE: XPEV) to $20 from $7, while maintaining an Underweight rating. The increase follows a significant rise in vehicle deliveries, which have more than tripled compared to the first half of 2024, driven by strong model refresh and new product launches in 2025. However, the analyst notes that the valuation appears stretched after recent share price increases.
Tesla, once a pioneer in electric vehicles, now faces significant challenges as its aging model lineup struggles to compete in a rapidly evolving market. With increasing competition from traditional automakers and emerging Chinese brands like BYD, which recently unveiled a faster charging system, the pressure is mounting for innovation and fresh offerings. Elon Musk's dual role as a brand ambassador and political figure has also drawn attention away from the company's core mission.
IM Motors has launched the LS6 SUV, rebranded as the IM6, in Thailand, marking its entry into international markets with a starting price of THB 1,399,900 ($41,600). The model is available in two variants, Premium and Performance, featuring battery packs of 75 kWh and 100 kWh, offering ranges of 550 km and 634 km, respectively. Following its initial launch in China, IM Motors plans to expand further into regions like Australia, the UK, and the Middle East with the LS6 and L6 electric sedans as key models.
China's electric vehicle (EV) sector is thriving despite a stagnant domestic economy and tariffs from the US and EU. Companies like Xiaomi, Geely, Nio, and Xpeng reported increased vehicle deliveries in 2024, with a notable 46% rise in EV exports at the start of 2025. Nio saw a 45% increase in sales volumes, although it continues to face challenges from price competition and tariff impacts.
Xpeng has unveiled the updated G6 and G9 SUVs, featuring enhanced charging capabilities with 5C support, allowing a 10-80% charge in just 12 minutes. The G6 offers ranges of 625 km and 725 km, while the G9 starts at RMB 248,800, with significant price reductions and advanced AI driving systems. Following the launch, the G9 received over 3,000 orders within 45 minutes, indicating strong market interest.
In February, BYD led China's NEV market with a 29.2% share and 205,711 sales, while Geely and Changan followed with 13.2% and 6.3%, respectively. Tesla ranked 7th with a 3.8% share, and Xiaomi EV debuted at 9th with 3.4%. Overall, BYD also topped the passenger car market with a 14.6% share.
Xpeng Inc. shares surged 7.1% on March 10 after the company announced plans to mass-produce flying cars and industrial robots by 2026, reaching their highest level since August 2022. Year-to-date, the stock has nearly doubled, outperforming a global EV index. Analysts credit the rise to strong sales of new EV models and heightened investor interest in tech amid Hong Kong's AI-driven rally, though financial impacts from the new projects may take time to materialize.
