Shares of Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Xpeng (HKG:9868) surged by 5.3% on Tuesday, fueled by the company's announcement of its expansion into the Qatari automotive market.
Xpeng has signed a deal with Qatari distributor Pioneer Motors to introduce its popular P7 sedan and G6 SUV models in the Middle Eastern country before the end of 2024. This strategic move is seen as a significant step for Xpeng to establish a foothold in the rapidly growing Middle Eastern EV market.
The news of Xpeng's entry into Qatar was warmly received by investors, who view it as a positive development for the company's global expansion plans. Analysts believe that Xpeng's foray into new international markets could help diversify its revenue streams and reduce its reliance on the highly competitive Chinese market, opening up new growth opportunities for the EV maker.
