Xiaomi stock weighs record EV deliveries against lower Citi targets

Xiaomi's vehicle expansion delivered another strong operating signal in October, while Citi became more cautious about the group's profit path. The combination leaves investors with a constructive growth story but a higher bar for earnings confirmation.

According to AD HOC NEWS, Xiaomi shipped more than 50,000 electric vehicles in October. That was the company's strongest monthly delivery pace of 2026 and only the second time it had crossed that threshold since entering the car business.

Growth meets a tougher profit test

The delivery milestone strengthens Xiaomi's expansion beyond smartphones and connected hardware. Management also highlighted a humanoid robot completing an eight-hour shift at a vehicle plant, but the development remains a proof of concept rather than a reported earnings contribution.

Citi kept its Buy rating while reducing its Xiaomi price target from HKD 34 to HKD 33.2. The bank also cut its adjusted earnings-per-share forecasts for the current year and the following two years by 7%, 9% and 7%, respectively. The revisions underline why higher vehicle volumes cannot yet be treated as equivalent to higher group profitability.

November results set the benchmark

Xiaomi's board is scheduled to review and approve unaudited third-quarter and first-nine-month results on November 24, 2026. Those figures will give investors a clearer test of smartphone margins, vehicle investment and the contribution from newer businesses.
