0728 GMT - XPeng's new product pipeline this year and planned promotions should help the carmaker tackle challenges amid slowing demand in China's auto industry, Nomura analysts write in a note. The company hosted its first new product launch event for 2026 on Jan. 8, where it reiterated its aim to delve deeper into the physical AI segment with four new model launches. XPeng also plans to offer a number of promotions in 1Q, including a discount to offset the incremental increase in China's EV purchase tax for entry-level models, Nomura says. These should help boost XPeng's 1Q orders, it adds. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
