Goldman Sachs: Maintains "buy" rating on Xpeng Motors-W with a target price of 46 Hong Kong dollars.
Goldman Sachs released a research report stating that it maintains a "buy" rating for Xpeng Motors-W (09868) with a target price of HKD 46. Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs expressed confidence that investors will focus on Xpeng Motors' MONAM03 and P7+ orders and capacity enhancement progress, the new model production lines and output outlook for 2025, and the potential timing for reaching breakeven. The report noted that Xpeng Motors' gross margin in the third quarter of this year exceeded market expectations, recording a gross margin of 15.3%.
