Li Auto ( (LI) ) just unveiled an update.

Li Auto reported a series of share repurchases in early August 2026, disclosing changes in its issued and treasury shares through multiple Next Day Disclosure Returns filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the U.S. SEC. On August 7, 2026, the company repurchased 490,050 Class A WVR ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at prices between USD 6.395 and USD 6.5, increasing its treasury share balance while keeping total issued shares unchanged.

The repurchases were made under a mandate approved on May 29, 2026, which authorizes Li Auto to buy back up to 214,280,424 shares, of which 67,142,416 had been repurchased by early August, representing 3.1334% of its issued share base at the time of authorization. Management confirmed that the transactions complied with Hong Kong listing rules and applicable U.S. market regulations, signaling continued use of buybacks as a capital management tool that may support the share price and adjust capital structure, while imposing a moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales until early September 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (LI) stock is a Hold  
 with a $15.70 price target.

**Spark’s Take on LI Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LI is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by deteriorating financial performance (losses, revenue decline, margin compression) and sharply weaker cash flow (negative operating and free cash flow). Technicals also point to a sustained downtrend with weak momentum. Earnings-call guidance and early product demand provide some support, but not enough to outweigh the current profitability and cash burn challenges; valuation is also constrained by negative earnings and no dividend yield.
