Is XPeng (XPEV) Undervalued Following Its August Delivery Update?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) reported August 2026 vehicle deliveries of 39,107 units, a 4% year over year increase, giving investors fresh data on how the physical AI focused automaker is converting interest into actual sales.

The fresh delivery update comes amid a weak price backdrop for XPeng, with the share price down 10.3% over the past 30 days and 48.4% year to date, while the 1-year total shareholder return has declined 49.5%. This signals that recent momentum has been fading despite improving operational headlines.

XPeng is reporting higher deliveries while the share price has dropped sharply this year, which raises a simple tension: Are investors reacting to the business, or has sentiment swung too far as the valuation resets?

Most Popular Narrative: 52.9% Undervalued

XPeng's most followed valuation storyline pegs fair value at $22.36, compared with the recent $10.54 close, which puts a spotlight on how aggressively future cash flows are being priced in.

XPeng's rapid in-house development and deployment of proprietary AI hardware (Turing AI SoC) and vision-based ADAS are expected to significantly advance its vehicle autonomy and smart cockpit solutions, aligning with surging consumer demand for intelligent, software-centric vehicles, setting the stage for higher-margin software revenue and enhanced gross/net margins.

Curious what justifies that kind of gap between fair value and the screen price. The narrative leans heavily on faster revenue expansion, rising margins and a richer earnings multiple built around those AI and software ambitions.

Result: Fair Value of $22.36 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

Still, XPeng investors need to weigh persistent net losses and intense price competition in China, either of which could undermine the bullish margin story.

Another View On XPeng's Valuation

The story looks different when you switch from analyst fair value to what the market is paying for XPeng's revenue today. The stock trades on a P/S of 0.9x, above the US Auto industry at 0.6x, yet below a fair ratio of 1.3x and peer average of 1.8x. That mix of slight premium to the sector but discount to peers and fair ratio suggests investors are paying up a little for growth and AI potential, while still pricing in execution risk. The real question is whether you see that gap as a safety margin or a warning sign.
