Xpeng's Q1 headline numbers look rough. Revenue down 17.6% to RMB 13 billion. Deliveries down 33.3% to 62,682. Net loss widened to RMB 1.78 billion. Headlines are brutal.
But here's what most people are completely missing. Gross margin hit 20.6%, up 5 percentage points year over year. XPEV just improved profitability WHILE cutting volume. In a brutal EV price war, that's actually impressive.
Here's the number that matters: Q2 delivery guidance is 100,000 to 106,000 units. That's nearly double Q1 in a single quarter. If they hit even the low end, this stock looks completely different by end of June. The thesis is unit economics are finally inflecting. I think the bottom was Q1.
