Company Snapshot
- XPeng offers smart electric vehicles, including SUVs (G3, G3i), sports sedans (P7), and family sedans (P5), along with after-sales services such as maintenance, super charging, leasing, insurance, and digital subscriptions.
- The company generates revenue primarily through the sale of electric vehicles and related services, leveraging proprietary technology and an integrated service ecosystem.
- It targets consumers in China seeking technologically advanced and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.
The Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker differentiates itself through advanced in-house technology, integrated services, and a commitment to innovation in the rapidly evolving EV sector. XPeng's strategy centers on delivering high-performance vehicles and a seamless customer experience to capture growing demand in China's premium and mid-market automotive segments.
Foolish take
XPeng has had a very strong year of EV production and deliveries. Through November, vehicle deliveries have soared by 156% year-over-year. A push to increase exports has been a large part of that. XPeng has nearly doubled the volume of exported EVs this year, representing about 10% of deliveries.
Global competition among EV makers has also increased this year, though. China-based EV makers, in particular, have ramped up production and sales both within and outside of the country.
Form 13F SEC filings don't specify when, within the quarterly period, a firm sells its shares. XPeng stock peaked at nearly $25 per share in Q3, representing more than a 100% year-to-date gain at that time. Arrowpoint may have decided to lock in that gain.
Booking profits is never a bad strategy for investors. That doesn't necessarily mean the investment firm has lost confidence in the company, however. With competition intensifying though, and global EV sales growth slowing, it may become more difficult to pick winners and losers in the EV space going forward.
Arrowpoint Investment Partners has a diversified portfolio, and moving on from XPeng at an opportune time may have just been a strategic portfolio management move.
