This also directly affects the financial data of the Big Three.

The financial report shows that as of March 31, 2021, LI Auto’s Q1 total revenue was US$545.7 million, an increase of 319.8% from the 851.7 million in Q1 in 2020, and a decrease of 13.8% from the 4.15 billion in Q4 in 2020; LI Auto’s Q1 net loss USD 54.9 million, an increase of 366.9% year-on-year.

The continued high investment in research and development is considered to be the main reason why the Big Three failed to make real profits.

The financial report shows that the R&D expenses of LI, XPEV, and NIO accounted for 14.41%, 18.13%, and 8.61% of the overall revenue, respectively.

The founder, chairman, and CEO of LI Auto said that he will increase investment in research and development in the future.

In contrast, Tesla has been profitable for 7 consecutive quarters. The financial report shows that Tesla’s Q1 revenue was 10.389 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 73.58% year-on-year. Its revenue scale was approximately 18.5 times that of LI Auto, 22.4 times that of XPEV, and 8.3 times that of NIO; Q1 net profit was $438 million. The Big Three are in sharp contrast.

As of March 31, 2021, LI auto cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, and short-term investment balances were US$4.63 billion; XPEV was US$5.525.4 million; NIO was US$7.3 billion.

Curved road overtaking: launching new cars and expanding production capacity

Just one day before the release of the financial report, LI Auto released the 2021 LI-ONE model. The new car has been upgraded in terms of vehicle configuration, cruising range, and autonomous driving, and will be delivered on June 1 this year.

At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, XPEV Cars will unveil its third product, the world's first mass-produced smart car equipped with lidar, the XPEV P5. It is understood that XPEV P5 is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Recently, there have been media reports that NIO may launch an entry-level sub-brand, and its first model is called "Gemini" in English. The positioning will be lower than that of existing SUVs and cars, with an annual output of 60,000; this will be the entry-level model that NIO will launch.

NIO is currently in urgent need of developing the main model with the main price of about 200,000 yuan, exploring a wider market and complementing the NIO brand.

Market value "cut in half"

The complex and changeable market environment is finally reflected in the stock price. LI's stock price is US$23.3 and the market value is US$21.078 billion; XPEV's stock price is US$32.13 and the market value is US$25.783 billion; NIO's stock price is US$38.62 and the market value is US$63.28 billion.

Among them, based on the closing price, LI has fallen by 47.0% from its highest point of US$43.96, and its market value has evaporated by US$18.69 billion; XPEV has fallen from its highest point of US$72.17 by 55.48%, and its market value has evaporated by US$32.13 billion; NIO has fallen from its highest point of 62.84. The U.S. dollar fell by 38.54%, and its market value evaporated by $39.685 billion.

So far, the market value of the Big Three car manufacturers is almost "halved" from the high point, with a total market value of 90.505 billion U.S. dollars.

The growth rate of the entire new energy industry is expected to slow down, the capital bubble ebbs, and the stock price gradually pulls back. "Tesla is more regarded as a technology company than a car manufacturer. Moreover, the sales growth brought about by price cuts is not sustainable.

LI also only achieved quarterly profit and is still at a loss for the whole year. XPEV sales growth has slowed. New energy car companies are still in the development stage. Compared with traditional car companies, the market size is smaller and there is a certain amount of water in the valuation."

With the expiration of the local government's electric vehicle consumption encouragement policy, the further decline of the new subsidy quota, and the increase in chip prices caused by the "lack of core", all boost the cost of new car-building forces, and this will also affect With its stock price.

While the stock prices of the Big Three car manufacturers fluctuate, institutions are liquidating their positions.

In terms of the US dollar index, after a period of decline, the US dollar index rebounded sharply, indicating that risk aversion was high, and market funds were flowing to the US dollar to hedge. The Fed ’s interest rate cuts have not saved the US stock market. The Fed ’s interest rates are now very low. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates in the future, the United States will soon enter the era of negative interest rates. Take Europe and Japan as examples. Negative interest rates have not restored the country ’s economy. The future economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. The reason for the negative interest rate is that the investment must be profitable, otherwise, it will not be invested.

The general price has also broken, so there is no good signal to increase positions in the short term. It may be safer to hold cash first and wait until the decline begins to slow down a little or see a really cost-effective price before considering adding positions.
