Summary · why it matters

XPeng Inc., the Chinese smart electric vehicle maker, reported August 2026 deliveries of 39,107 units, up 3.7% year-on-year and 2.8% month-on-month. This marks the third consecutive month of delivery growth and the second-highest monthly total this year, trailing June's 40,126 units. In the first eight months of 2026, XPeng delivered a cumulative 243,111 units, down 10.5% year-on-year but improving from the 12.8% decline in the first seven months. For Q3 2026, the company targets deliveries of 115,000-121,000 units. With July-August combined deliveries at 77,134 units, XPeng needs to deliver an additional 37,866-43,866 units in September to meet its target. Asia Plus Securities views this as a positive factor for XPeng's share price in the short term, as deliveries have resumed growth and sales trends show signs of recovery, supported by product line expansion, including the MONA L03, which has begun deliveries, and the G9L, which launched and started deliveries in September. However, XPeng still needs to significantly accelerate sales to achieve its target of over 60,000 units per month in Q4 2026, which is about 53% higher than August deliveries. It remains to be seen whether increased sales volume from new models will enhance profitability. For investment strategy, Asia Plus Securities recommends investors look for opportunities to buy for short-term trading on the positive news flow. For medium-to-long-term investment, it suggests accumulating shares on price weakness. If Q4 2026 deliveries meet targets and profit margins improve, it would be a clearer confirmation of recovery. XPeng shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under code 9868 HK are currently trading at 44.48 Hong Kong dollars, while Bloomberg Consensus gives a 1-year target price of 74.37 Hong Kong dollars. As for the Depositary Receipt (DR) referencing XPeng shares under the name XPENG03, it is currently trading at 1.90 baht with a reference target price of 3.15 baht, based on an exchange rate of 4.25 baht per Hong Kong dollar and a conversion ratio of 1 to 100. On the technical front, Asia Plus Securities assesses XPENG03's price movement as sideways, with support at 1.70-1.80 baht and resistance at 2.00-2.40 baht.

US auto industry groups urge Trump to block Chinese-made vehicles

Several US auto industry groups have sent a letter to President Trump urging him to block Chinese-made automobiles from entering the US market, ahead of a planned US-China summit next week. Among the groups that signed the letter are the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which includes passenger car manufacturers from Japan, the US and Europe, and the National Automobile Dealers Association. Chinese-made passenger cars are effectively shut out of the US market by high tariffs and other measures, and the letter, dated the 17th, calls for the current policy to be maintained. It argues that easing entry restrictions would "undermine fair competition."

Volkswagen Cuts 2026 Profit Outlook on China Slump and Porsche Writedown

Volkswagen has dramatically cut its 2026 profit outlook, now expecting an operating margin of no more than 1% this year, down from its previous forecast of at least 4%. The German carmaker expects around €10 billion, or $11.5 billion, in charges this year, including restructuring costs tied to workforce reductions and writedowns on Chinese assets; that total includes a €6-billion writedown related to Porsche, reflecting revised long-term expectations for the sports-car maker. Excluding the exceptional charges, Volkswagen said its operating margin would be around 4%. Volkswagen shares fell more than 7% following the announcement, dragging other automakers lower. Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said the Chinese market has contracted by around 20%, with no stabilization currently in sight, while Chinese automakers take domestic share and expand into Europe with competitively priced electric vehicles. Volkswagen also said growing EV sales are weighing on profitability at its Volkswagen passenger-car and Audi businesses, and it recently reached an agreement with labor representatives that could increase planned job cuts to 100,000 globally.

Unusually Large Business Delegation to Join Xi's US Visit, with BYD and Xiaomi Among Candidates

The US and Chinese governments are finalizing the selection of top Chinese business figures to accompany President Xi Jinping on his visit to the United States, according to three people familiar with the matter. According to the sources, candidates include Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD, smartphone maker Xiaomi, which has also expanded into EVs, battery giants CATL and Gotion High-Tech, home appliance maker Hisense Group, auto parts supplier Wanxiang Group, state-owned Bank of China, and agricultural conglomerate COFCO. Accompanying a large business delegation to the United States would be an unusual move. According to the people, the finalization of the delegation's members will wait for talks this weekend between US Treasury Secretary Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, with formal invitations to be sent to each company within the next few days, and the US State Department is expected to approve visas for the delegation. CATL and BYD were added to the US Department of Defense's corporate list in January 2025 and June 2026, respectively, over alleged ties to the Chinese military. China's Foreign Ministry, responding to a Reuters question, said it had no information.
