Li Auto, XPeng, NIO Top Insurance RegistrationsThe NEV sales volume accounted for 17% of total new car sales in the month. Li Auto had the highest number of insurance registrations among China's new car makers in August, with 9,394 units, according to a table released Saturday by Sina Auto based on data from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC). XPeng Motors came in second, with 6,945 insurance registrations in August, followed by NIO with 6,476. Earlier this month, Li Auto released figures showing it delivered a record 9,433 Li ONEs, the company's only model, in August, up 248 percent year-over-year and up 9.8 percent from July. XPeng said it delivered 7,214 vehicles in August, up 172 percent year-over-year but down 10 percent from July. NIO said it delivered 5,880 vehicles in August, up 48 percent year-over-year and down about 26 percent from July. The CATARC figures are based on insurance registrations for vehicles and are closer to true retail sales each month, as vehicles must have insurance in place and in effect before they can be licensed. Neta Automobile ranked fourth with 6,038 insurance registrations in August. The company previously said it delivered 6,613 vehicles in August. Leap Motor ranked fifth with 4,777 insurance registrations in August. The company previously said it delivered 4,488 vehicles in August. WM Motor had 3,144 insurance registrations in August, the CATARC data show. It has not yet released sales figures for August. Arcfox, the BAIC-owned EV brand, had 856 insurance registrations in August, compared with 642 for Seres, which sells cars in partnership with Huawei, 469 for HiPhi and 408 for Dongfeng Motor's premium EV brand Voyah.

Li Auto Delivered Record 9,433 Vehicles in Aug, Up 248% YoYDeliveries of the new Li ONE began on June 1. Li Auto delivered a record 9,433 units of the Li ONE, the company's only model, in August, up 248 percent year-over-year and 9.8 percent from July. That number exceeded many expectations, considering the company gave conservative guidance for the third quarter in its earnings report released earlier this week. For the first eight months of 2021, Li Auto deliveries have totaled 48,176 units. The Li ONE's cumulative deliveries now stand at 81,773 units, the company announced Wednesday. As of August 31, 2021, Li Auto has 114 retail centers covering 69 cities, as well as 194 aftermarket repair centers and authorized sheet metal spray centers covering 143 cities. Notably, when Li Auto announced its second-quarter earnings on August 30, it said it expected deliveries of 25,000-26,000 units in the third quarter. Considering that the company previously said that September deliveries were expected to exceed 10,000 units and July deliveries were 8,589 units, many believe this implies that Li Auto's deliveries in August will be at most 7,400 units. The Li ONE is an electric vehicle with extended-range technology, having a three-cylinder engine as the range extender. The Li ONE became available in October 2019. On May 25 of this year, Li Auto announced the 2021 Li ONE with a starting price of CNY 10,000 (USD 1,560) higher than the previous version at CNY 338,000.

Li Auto: Challenges, Opportunities and Stock ValuationThe company is expected to report its Q2 2021 financial results on August 30. Li Auto will use the money from the secondary public offering to develop a battery EV. Li ONE is a good-selling model – but the company is yet to prove its ability to roll out a mature BEV. There are concerns about Li's technology and goal-setting, but there is room for improvement. Li Auto is fairly priced. Investors who have faith in EREV are encouraged to buy into the stock now. On August 12, 2021, Li Auto (LI:NASDAQ) started trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It has become the second Chinese EV company to be listed on both hemispheres. Having collected CNY 11.6 billion while operating on dry powder, how will the company expand afterward? This article will do a business review of Li Auto and value its stock. The impediments arising from COVID-19 have not stopped China's EV market from sprinting in 2021. Among a wealth of EV companies, Li Auto delivered 38,743 units of Li ONE in the first half of that year, surpassing the previous year's figure. But the company's fundamentals are still somewhat overshadowed by those of its counterparts in the space. Technical bottlenecks, unrealistic goals According to our previous research, Li Auto has spent a lower percentage of revenue on research and development compared with NIO and Xpeng. More importantly, the Li ONE model uses the range extender as a core technology, one that has been used globally for some years now. Specifically, this technology was first commercially used on the Chevy Volt and the Nissan LEAF in late 2010. The extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) is fully powered by electric motors but has an internal combustion engine (ICE) to generate additional electric power. The battery pack will supply power to motors when it is fully charged. When the battery's power decreases to a specified level, the ICE-powered generator switches on to supply power to the electric motor and/or recharges the battery. The technology allows ICE to charge batteries but consumes noticeably less fuel than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Thus, vehicle owners can either charge cars with gasoline or electricity. In short, the range extender is a transitional solution and will likely be outdated in a few years as the battery cost quickly decreases and EV infrastructure upgrades. Presumably, BEV will account for a higher percentage of EV as EV penetrates the broader market. BEV development needs to meet professionalism/technology thresholds in battery, electric control and electric motor. Although most OEMs buy solutions from tier-one or tier-two manufacturers, a lot of work is needed for benchmarking and integrating these components into a mature product. Li Auto doesn't have enough expertise in this field. Based on Li's most recent prospectus, the company plans to roll out two new BEVs in 2023. We have doubts about whether the company will be able to finalize a mature product at that time. Besides, Li Auto's management set an exaggerated expectation of the company's EV sales that has alerted its investors. In February 2021, the company announced its outlook internally. The founder set a goal for the company to reach 1.6 million in annual EV sales by 2025. Such a target will be hard to achieve. 1.6 million vehicles equal Toyota's 2019 sales in China. Toyota, the Japanese auto giant, has been selling cars in the Chinese market for 20 years and has accumulated a much larger customer base and global reputation than Li Auto. An ambition to become a brand as famous as Toyota in five years appears challenging, to say the least. Having 1.6 million deliveries by 2025, inter alia, means that the annual delivery figures are projected to grow at a 170% CAGR, a rather high rate. Opportunities and attempts to catch up Notwithstanding, Li Auto still has an opportunity to join the group of tech leaders. Within the fast-growing EV industry, there are many suppliers providing solutions like ADAS, Lidar and third-party charging infrastructure – and, incentivized by China's state policies, new upstarts appear daily in these areas. The technological 'backwardness' of Li Auto might be resolved through a couple of acquisitions. The company, meanwhile, is taking some actions to drive innovation internally; for example, it started building an R&D center in Shanghai in April 2021. Li ONE, a best-selling model, also brought the public's attention to Li Auto. Li Auto's management expects over 10,000 sales in September 2021. We think the reason Li Auto has such strong momentum is due to its product positioning. One of the examples will be a family-oriented SUV with 6 to 7 seats. Compared to the competing models with the same price, this SUV is equipped with an entertainment system that includes three screens and appears to be a more economical option. The consistency in product positioning has made Li Auto a popular brand. Valuation To evaluate Li Auto's stock in a simplistic manner, we forecast Li's 2022 car sales will be around 130,000 to 140,000 units. With an assumed average revenue generated per car of CNY 284,000, according to the Q1 2021 financials, the total revenue for 2022 will be USD 5.7 billion to USD 6.1 billion. Because of Li Auto's ongoing technology transition, the multiple is halved to 5 times of 2022 revenue. Therefore, the projected market capitalization of Li Auto is USD 28.5 billion to USD 30.5 billion. Conclusion Li ONE is highly likely to maintain strong sales momentum in the short run. But 2023 will be a challenging year depending on whether the company can succeed in rolling out battery electric vehicles. Compared with NIO, Xpeng and BYD, the stock is at half of their EV divisions' multiples and priced at a reasonable level. Due to some technical and strategic issues, the company's outlook is mixed. Now is a good time for investors who have faith in EREV to make a decision.

$LI Auto - Potential Bullish long Targeting 36 then 41Technically its better than other competitors $NIO $XPEV but RSI and MFI indicators are overbought - perhaps slow down then move up targeting 36 then 41 . Stoploss for bulls is little far away above 21 . Normally similar patterns takes weeks to arrive destinations. if broad markets pulled back then it will be nice entry above 21 There are 2 scenarios : Consolidations slowly above 23-21 then moves up during 3rd quarter . OR continue moving up towards targets before summer. 3rd scenarios is unlikely :)
