XPeng's Robotaxi Dream Doesn't Save It From EV Market Collapse

Xpeng (XPEV) faces declining deliveries and revenues, with Q1 2026 vehicle deliveries down 33.3% year-over-year and revenues falling 17.6%. Despite margin improvements to 20.6%, XPEV swung to a net loss of RMB 1.78 billion, driven by higher R&D and lower volumes. Management projects a Q2 rebound with 100,000–106,000 vehicle deliveries and RMB 19.6–20.8 billion in revenue, banking on new model launches.
