LI's underwhelming FQ3'25 guidance and declining August 2025 deliveries have triggered the stock's recent underperformance compared to its peers. It is apparent that the halted EV subsidies and the growing EV competition have triggered headwinds to the automaker's prospects. These reasons may also be why LI's entry into the EV segment has been highly strategic, as they launch the affordable Li i6 SUV in September 2025.
Li Auto delivered Q2 results that missed expectations on revenue and EPS, but the firm maintains industry-leading vehicle margins despite moderating top-line growth. The company faces near term challenges with weak Q3 delivery guidance and declining sales for its L-Series models, but new product launches like the Li i8 could potentially reverse trends. Li Auto maintained vehicle margins north of 19% and remained solidly profitable in the second-quarter.

Li Auto faces fierce competition and delivery guidance cuts, but its fundamentals are very strong relative to peers. The company is soon to roll out its new BEV model, I8, that will debut an improved "smart-driving" system. Product innovation, particularly with "smart-driving" slightly lagging peers like XPeng and Huawei, could be a cause of the current lagging sales and is an important catalyst moving forward.
