Li Auto Inc. delivered 41,053 vehicles in March, a significant production ramp-up that sent its Hong Kong-listed shares up by more than 5 percent.
"The strong delivery numbers and positive stock reaction indicate high investor confidence in Li Auto's market position and production capabilities," said a market analyst.
The March figures show a heavy reliance on the company's Li i6 model, which accounted for over 24,000 of the total deliveries. The announcement also noted that the next-generation Li L9 is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2026, providing a forward-looking catalyst for the electric vehicle maker. The company's stock (02015.HK) closed up 5.17 percent at HK$71.70.
The strong performance from Li Auto is expected to increase competitive pressure on other EV manufacturers in the world's largest auto market. Investors will be closely watching for the official launch of the new Li L9 model in the coming quarter to gauge its potential impact on the company's sales mix and profitability.
