# Weekly Recap | Li Auto +6.44%, consensus target sits 39% above spot

## The Week

Li Auto rebounded from an early-week dip. Shares opened at $12.385 on Monday and fell to a weekly low of $12.11 on Tuesday, before staging a three-day rally that pushed the stock to close at $13.05 on Friday — a weekly gain of 6.44%. The stock outperformed the S&P 500 by roughly 7.87 percentage points, as the benchmark fell 1.43%. Volume picked up notably in the second half of the week.

## Key Events

Corporate news this week centred on buybacks and shareholder activity. On Monday, Li Auto detailed its August share repurchases under the Hong Kong mandate. On Thursday, a filing showed Xiamen Xinweidachuang Investment Partnership had purchased approximately 4.93 million Li Auto ADRs. Midweek, a report pointed to the company’s upcoming earnings announcement, setting the stage for the next catalyst.

## Analyst Ratings

Of the 26 firms covering Li Auto, 8 rate it a buy, 3 rate it outperform, 14 rate it hold, and 1 rates it underperform. None rate it sell or have no opinion. The consensus recommendation is buy, with a consensus target of $18.18 — roughly 39% above the latest close. Targets range from $10.06 to $27.02, reflecting a wide spread of opinion. Within the auto manufacturing industry, Li Auto ranks third out of 30 peers.

## The Week Ahead

Li Auto reports Q2 fiscal 2026 results before the US market opens on Wednesday, 26 August. The consensus estimates are for a loss of $0.0615 per share on revenue of $3.71 billion. This is the most immediate test for the stock after this week’s rally. On Tuesday, US consumer confidence and new home sales data are due, which could drive broader market sentiment.

## In Short

A week of buybacks and a notable shareholder purchase helped Li Auto recover from a midweek low, outpacing the broader market by a wide margin. The analyst consensus favours the stock, with a target well above spot, though the wide range of price targets reflects ongoing debate about the company’s long-term outlook. The upcoming earnings report will be the deciding factor in whether this week’s strength can be sustained.
