Did XPEV Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
XPENG delivered a mixed second quarter for 2026, posting an adjusted loss of $0.19 per share that beat the $0.77 consensus estimate by 75.16%, extending the company's streak of consensus EPS beats to five consecutive quarters, while revenue of $2.91 billion fell short of the $20.50 billion estimate and declined 84.1% year-over-year. The headline revenue miss was driven heavily by currency conversion dynamics between RMB and USD reporting, with the underlying RMB figures showing an 8.0% year-over-year gain to RMB 19.74 billion, fueled by a surge in high-margin services revenue that jumped 93.9% year-over-year to $2.70 billion, reflecting milestone achievements under XPENG's technology licensing agreement with a major international automaker. Gross margin expanded to 20.7% from 17.3% a year ago, though net losses widened to $1.34 billion as R&D spending accelerated 32.1% year-over-year. Looking ahead, the company's Q3 guidance calling for RMB 21.7 billion to RMB 23.4 billion in revenue landed below analyst expectations, sending shares lower in premarket trading as competition in China's EV market intensifies.
