XPeng's Volkswagen Cooperation to Further Support Gross Profit Margin -- Market Talk

Dow Jones07-23

0803 GMT - XPeng's gross profit margin will be further supported by its collaboration with Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank analyst Bin Wang writes in a note. XPeng expanded its cooperation with Volkswagen on electrical/electronic architecture to a global scale from a focus on China's platform, which Wang says is faster than the bank expected. The automaker will likely witness higher revenue from technical research and development service in 2H, thanks to the upgraded collaboration, DB adds. XPeng could receive around CNY150 million in revenue from its E/E architecture collaboration with VW each quarter, which should further support its double-digit gross margin, the analyst says. DB estimates that XPeng's 2Q net loss likely narrowed on quarter to CNY1.3 billion. It maintains a buy rating on the stock, with a target price of HK$50.00. Shares are last at HK$33.95.
