0248 GMT - XPeng's sales outlook seems dim due to intense sector competition, says UOB Kay Hian analyst Ken Lee in a note. The electric-vehicle supplier's deliveries in 1Q disappointed investors, falling nearly 50%. After XPeng launched an all-electric mid-sized sedan in September 2022, sales of the model peaked in December and fell to less than 1,000 units in February-March, the analyst notes. The electric vehicle company could also be negatively affected by the 10% price cuts on its various models in January, he adds. UOB Kay Hian maintains its sell rating and target price of HK$20.00 on the stock, which is 1.0% higher at HK$31.56. (yiwei.wong@wsj.com)
