Xiaomi (SEHK:1810), What Is Behind The Fresh Attention?

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Xiaomi (SEHK:1810) is back in focus after Xiaomi Auto signed sales agreements with eight dealer groups in Germany, setting up a 2027 launch for its battery electric vehicles across Europe.

Despite the European EV push grabbing headlines, Xiaomi’s recent trading tells a more cautious story, with the share price down 34.6% year to date and the 1 year total shareholder return declining 52.2%. However, the 3 year total shareholder return is up 115.7%, and longer term momentum still reflects earlier gains.

The recent slump leaves Xiaomi trading well below earlier highs while the business expands into smartphones, IoT and EVs. Is this reset mainly about fundamentals, or a sharp swing in sentiment that valuation has not fully reconciled yet?

Most Popular Narrative: 36% Undervalued

Xiaomi’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at HK$41.16 against a last close of HK$26.36, implying a wide valuation gap that hinges on execution across EVs, AI and hardware.

Xiaomi is evolving into a vertically integrated “physical + digital” technology company, merging consumer electronics, mobility, and AI infrastructure under one ecosystem. The combination of EVs, AI models, robotics, and HyperOS integration gives the business multiple ways to scale revenue and improve profitability beyond its traditional smartphone base.

Another Look At Xiaomi’s Valuation

The first narrative points to a big discount, yet Xiaomi’s own numbers tell a more mixed story. The shares trade on a P/E of 17.6x, only slightly above the 17.1x fair ratio and just under the Asian tech average of 18.7x. Peers on 67.1x look far richer, which raises the question of whether this is a genuine mispricing or a reset toward a more grounded multiple.
