LI Stock Recent News

NIO, XPEV and LI report a year-over-year increase in March and first-quarter 2025 deliveries.

BEIJING, China, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Li Auto Inc. (“Li Auto” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LI; HKEX: 2015), a leader in China's new energy vehicle market, today announced that it delivered 36,674 vehicles in March 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 26.5%. This brought the Company's first-quarter deliveries to 92,864, an increase of 15.5% year-over-year. As of March 31, 2025, Li Auto's cumulative deliveries reached 1,226,736.

In the most recent trading session, Li Auto Inc. Sponsored ADR (LI) closed at $25.20, indicating a -1.25% shift from the previous trading day.

President Trump announced new 25% tariffs on auto imports, impacting foreign automakers and potentially leading to retaliatory tariffs from countries like Japan, Canada, and the EU. US automakers like GM and Ford may see limited direct impact, but global free trade and the overall economy could suffer from escalating trade tensions. Companies with US production, like Toyota and BMW, will be less affected, while those without, like Audi, face significant challenges; Chinese EV makers remain largely unaffected.

The latest trading day saw Li Auto Inc. Sponsored ADR (LI) settling at $26.04, representing a -0.53% change from its previous close.

Li Auto's Q4 earnings met estimates but missed revenue, leading to a 4% stock decline due to soft guidance and margin pressures. The company faces intense competition and margin compression in China's EV market, impacting profitability despite strong delivery growth and strategic product upgrades. Li Auto's valuation appears attractive, trading below historical averages, but margin pressures and rising costs present significant challenges.

Li Auto's Q4 2024 results reflect lower EPS, higher revenues and a dip in vehicle margins, with a dull Q1 2025 outlook.

In stark contrast with western electric vehicle (EV) makers, who have been struggling as of late, Chinese companies in the space have performed quite well since the start of the year. Li Auto (NYSE: LI) is one such business — and despite a recent slump, Wall Street seems confident that the best is yet to come.
