Recent News Ahead of the Q2 Print
On August 2, XPeng delivered 36,717 vehicles in July, representing a 229% year-over-year increase and a 6.1% rise from June.
The affordable Mona 03 sedan has been a key driver of this growth. In addition, the company’s expansion into Europe and launch of new models have also supported strong demand.
Analyst’s Take on XPeng Ahead of Q2 Earnings
Heading into the Q2 results, Macquarie Top analyst Eugene Hsiao reiterated an Outperform rating on XPeng and raised the price target to $25 from $24. Hsiao noted that in Q1, XPeng reported a smaller-than-expected net loss, helped in part by subsidies and foreign exchange (FX) gains. However, these one-time boosts mean that Q2 profitability could appear lower, even if vehicle sales and margins continue to grow.
Looking ahead, the analyst remains upbeat about XPeng’s growth potential and sees continued margin improvements as a key driver for stock performance.
