The Week
Li Auto fell 4.53% this week to $11.81 on Friday, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.8%, leaving the stock about 3.73 percentage points behind the broader market. It was a heavy four-day stretch: shares opened at $12.56 on Tuesday and touched $12.73 before fading through midweek. Thursday’s low of $11.62 marked the weakest level in 60 sessions, with a modest rebound to $11.81 on Friday and weekly amplitude of 8.84%.
Key Events
The company kept the news flow busy on product and overseas fronts. On Monday, Li Auto was reported to be planning a lineup-wide shift to in-house batteries, with a refreshed i6 due in the fourth quarter. On Tuesday it filed its 2026 interim report with the US SEC. Wednesday brought confirmation that the i9 flagship electric SUV will launch on 16 September, with a focus on family comfort. Thursday, CGS International initiated coverage on the Class A shares with a buy rating, and the company announced a European push through a golf partnership, naming the overseas i6 the Li 6.
Analyst Ratings
Among 26 institutions covering Li Auto, 8 rate it buy, 3 overweight, 14 hold and 1 underweight, giving a consensus rating of buy. The consensus target sits at about $16.03, roughly 35.7% above the latest price of $11.81. Targets range widely from $9.02 to $27.15, pointing to meaningful disagreement across brokers. Within the auto manufacturing industry, Li Auto ranks 3rd out of 30 companies.
The Week Ahead
Macro data dominates the coming sessions, with retail figures the main focus. Tuesday brings the New York Fed manufacturing index, followed on Wednesday by retail sales, retail sales excluding autos, retail control, import prices, the NAHB housing market index and EIA crude inventories. On the company side, the 16 September launch of the i9 flagship electric SUV is worth watching, as the market’s initial response could frame the next move.
In Short
The week’s tension sits between a still-supportive analyst picture and a weak tape. The consensus rating is buy with a target about 35.7% above the latest close, and the stock trades at 1.31x price-to-book. Yet shares hit a 60-session low, and the latest session’s flow data shows retail money relatively more active on the buy side while overall sentiment stays cautious. The i9 launch and the retail data will show whether risk appetite can recover.
