Li Auto delivered a modestly robust Q2, beating top line estimates, but seeing revenue pressure due to falling volumes. LI improved its vehicle margin to 9.4% in Q2, and is therefore still trailing the EV competition.

Li Auto: Competitive Destruction

Li Auto Inc. faces intense competition in China's EV market, limiting growth and margin prospects despite its high-end SUV/MPV niche. Q2 '26 results were slightly better than expected, but guidance was cut to 400k units for 2026, and gross margin targets were reduced to 15–20%. I assign a Sell rating on LI, valuing shares at 12x PE—below consensus—due to limited upside and challenging competitive dynamics.
