Summary · why it matters

Simply Wall St lowered its fair value estimate for XPeng to US$19.06 from US$22.36, as updated Street targets for the Chinese automaker now range roughly between US$12 and US$24. JPMorgan, Citi and BofA all kept positive ratings while trimming their price targets into the US$18 to US$24 range, with JPMorgan cutting from US$27 to US$24 and UBS moving from US$18 to US$12. UBS highlighted XPeng as an emerging Chinese automaker in humanoid robotics, pointing to a robotics capital raise of over US$900m at a valuation above US$6.3b as longer term optionality beyond the core auto business, while Barclays pointed to the L03 model as important for second half 2026 results and for XPeng reaching 10,000 overseas deliveries by Q4. On the bearish side, UBS and Barclays flagged pressure on the core auto business from intense competition, supply chain issues, short product cycles and lower than expected Q3 guidance, and BofA reduced its 2026 to 2028 volume assumptions by mid single digit percentages. The revised model also adjusted CN¥ revenue growth to 19.66% from 21.95%, net profit margin to 2.46% from 3.44%, future P/E to 56.08x from 44.61x, and the discount rate to 12.88% from 12.04%.

GAC Cambodia KD Plant Begins Production with 10,000-Unit Annual Capacity

GAC's knocked-down vehicle assembly plant in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia, officially entered production on September 17, marking the automaker's shift from complete vehicle exports to local manufacturing in the country. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin attended the inauguration ceremony, alongside Jiang Xiuyun, Deputy General Manager of GAC Group, and Wang Shunsheng, Deputy General Manager of GAC International and President of the Southeast Asia Regional Center, with leadership of TH Group, GAC's strategic partner in Cambodia, also present for the launch of the THAM assembly plant for GAC vehicles. Under the local assembly project, fully launched in 2024, TH Group is responsible for plant investment, construction and vehicle assembly, while GAC supplies complete knocked-down kits, technical standards and full-chain technical support, with a designed annual capacity of around 10,000 units. Hun Manet said the plant's commencement is a significant achievement of the Royal Government of Cambodia's industrial transformation, helping the country upgrade from labor-intensive industries to capital-, advanced-technology- and high-skill-driven sectors. GAC said its TRUMPCHI brand has grown explosively in Cambodia since 2024, with an average annual compound growth rate of over 300% over the past three years, and ranked first among Chinese automotive brands in Cambodia in 2025.

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.
