Xiaomi's MiMo model, an advanced AI with 7 billion parameters, outperforms OpenAI's o1-mini and Alibaba's QwQ-32B, marking a significant technological breakthrough. We upgrade Xiaomi to buy from hold due to its AI advancements and the de-escalation of Sino-US tensions, presenting an attractive entry point. MiMo's integration enhances Xiaomi's ecosystem, improving user experience in smartphones, IoT, home appliances, EVs, and potentially humanoid robots.
Xiaomi does not plan to showcase its upcoming YU7 electric SUV at China's largest auto show next week, deflating widespread anticipation among visitors keen to catch a glimpse of the would-be challenger to Tesla's Model Y.

I maintain a "Buy" rating on Xiaomi due to its successful ecosystem strategy and promising expansion into the EV market, despite recent stock corrections. Xiaomi's financials are strong, with significant revenue and profit growth in smartphones and IoT, and narrowing losses in the EV segment. The valuation remains attractive with a forward-looking perspective, supported by Goldman Sachs' optimistic 12-month target price, indicating a 30% upside potential.
