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.

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.

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.

On February 13, Hillhouse Capital announced to the US Securities and Exchange Commission the position of US stocks at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. According to data, at the end of the third quarter of 2020, Hillhouse Capital held approximately 2.41 million shares of NIO, approximately 1.6 million shares of LI Auto, and approximately 900,000 shares of XPEV Auto.
