1. First-Quarter Earnings Performance
XPeng reported a first-quarter EPS loss of $0.27, compared to a consensus loss estimate of $0.11, while revenue reached $1.89 billion, modestly exceeding the $1.87 billion forecast. The wider-than-expected loss highlights continued pressure on margins in a competitive electric vehicle market.
2. Second-Quarter Revenue Guidance
Management projects second-quarter revenue will fall below market expectations, reflecting headwinds from slowing consumer demand and intensified competition. The guidance shortfall suggests sustained challenges for top-line growth in the coming quarter.
3. Profitability and Valuation Metrics
XPeng’s trailing twelve-month price-to-earnings ratio stands at –46.74, indicating unprofitability, and its earnings yield is –2.14%, underscoring negative returns for shareholders. These metrics reflect persistent losses and lack of positive earnings generation.
4. Balance Sheet Health
The company’s debt-to-equity ratio is 1.23 and its current ratio is 1.09, pointing to reliance on leverage and only moderate liquidity to meet short-term obligations. This financial structure may constrain flexibility in funding growth initiatives.
