Li Auto Reports March 27 Share Buyback Under Ongoing Repurchase Mandate

Li Auto ( (LI) ) has shared an update.

Li Auto disclosed that on March 27, 2026 it repurchased 340,000 Class A WVR ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at prices between US$8.785 and US$8.945, for a total outlay of about US$3.02 million, and is holding all of these as treasury shares. Following this transaction, its issued share capital excluding treasury shares decreased slightly to 1,805,504,550 shares, bringing total treasury shares to 2,207,638 and leaving the company within the scope of a repurchase mandate approved on May 30, 2025, with a resulting 30‑day moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales until April 26, 2026.

The repurchase, reported via a Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2026, forms part of Li Auto’s broader buyback program, under which 2,207,638 shares had been repurchased on stock exchanges as of the latest disclosure. While modest in scale at around 0.0188% of the existing issued share base before the event, the move signals continued capital management efforts that can support earnings per share and reflects management’s willingness to deploy balance-sheet resources to return value and potentially bolster market confidence in its Hong Kong- and U.S.-traded stock.

The most recent analyst rating on (LI) stock is a Buy with a $22.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Li Auto stock, see the LI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on LI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LI is a Neutral.

Li Auto’s overall stock score reflects a combination of mixed financial performance, bearish technical indicators, and a relatively high valuation. The company’s strong balance sheet is a positive factor, but liquidity challenges and declining revenue growth weigh heavily on the score. The technical analysis indicates a bearish trend, further impacting the overall score. The absence of a dividend yield and a high P/E ratio suggest limited valuation appeal.
