Xiaomi’s 101% Rally Puts EV Dark Horse on Brink of Stock Record

(Bloomberg) — Xiaomi Corp. is rapidly closing in on a new all-time-high share price, having cracked the crowded market for electric vehicles in a repeat of its earlier success with smartphones.

Most Read from Bloomberg

Its stock has surged 101% this year, outpacing global peers, on the company’s surprisingly quick rise in China’s EV market to challenge leaders BYD Co. and Tesla Inc. The next big leg up may come as Xiaomi prepares for the possible summer launch of its next model, a pure electric sport utility vehicle.

Investors are hoping to see a similar trajectory to when Xiaomi launched its first smartphone in 2011 and grew within a few years to rival Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., making its founder Lei Jun a billionaire in the process. Xiaomi’s Hong Kong-listed shares are now about 10% away from their 2021 peak.

“Xiaomi is the dark horse,” said Shuyan Feng, deputy general manager for investment management at Huatai Asset Management (Hong Kong) Co. “When Lei Jun touted Xiaomi’s $10 billion foray into the EV market, there was serious discounting of the stock, and few believed it would actually make it given how competitive this market is.”

Xiaomi’s stock has outperformed global gauges of auto and smartphone makers amid cloudy prospects for recoveries in markets for their products. Its strong EV debut is notable in a year when Chinese upstarts like Nio Inc. and Li Auto Inc. have struggled with worries over the demand outlook, weighing on their share prices.

Beijing-based Xiaomi reported stronger-than-expected sales growth for the September quarter, with the new EV business accounting for about 10% of its total revenue. The company made quick inroads by leveraging the marketing capabilities and strong appeal among young consumers it cultivated in smartphones.

Xiaomi has forecast 130,000 deliveries for its SU7 sedan this year, a target it has raised twice. The vehicle is available in nine color and features smart driving functionality plus a connected entertainment system. Analysts expect the company’s total sales to more than double in 2025 with the launch of its YU7 SUV.

“Xiaomi’s EV business could overtake smartphones as the company’s key sales-growth driver in 2025,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Steven Tseng wrote in a note. Its next model “might spur EV sales growth of 137% in 2025 due to the popularity of larger vehicles in China and a ramp-up in capacity at its second EV factory.”

Despite uncertainties in the macroeconomy, China remains the world’s largest passenger EV market, with sales set to exceed 11 million units this year, according to BloombergNEF.

Competition is fierce and continues to grow, with other late entrants including tech titan Huawei Technologies Co. Analysts at Macquarie Group Ltd. expect Xiaomi may be able to gain further market share with the YU7, which it expects to be priced at 250,000 yuan to 330,000 yuan ($34,000-$45,000).

The previous record high for Xiaomi’s stock was set nearly four years ago, just before it was briefly added to a US blacklist by outgoing President Donald Trump. While analysts expect limited impact from tariffs under Trump’s second term given Xiaomi’s limited sales exposure to the US, parts procurement from American suppliers could be affected.

Valuations are another concerns after Xiaomi’s huge rally. The shares are currently trading at about 27 times forward earnings estimates, above the five-year median of 21 times.

Analysts remain bullish on the stock, however, with 42 buy recommendations versus just one hold and one sell. Bulls note that profitability has been impressive in the EV business so far.

“Its a company that’s extremely good at controlling costs in a complicated manufacturing process,” said Xiao Feng, co-head of China industrial research at CLSA Hong Kong. “I think, partially, you should give the credit to their experience in making smartphones, which also has a very long, complicated supply chain.”

Top Tech Stories

  • Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a joint push into the mixed-reality market, introducing a new operating system and headset in a bid to challenge devices from Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.

  • Broadcom Inc., a chip supplier for Apple Inc. and other big tech companies, rallied in late trading after predicting a boom in demand for its artificial intelligence chips.

  • Apple Inc.’s ambitious plan to create in-house components for its devices will include switching to a homegrown chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections starting next year, a move that will replace some parts currently provided by Broadcom Inc.
