Did XPEV Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
XPeng delivered a sharply mixed first quarter for 2025, posting a dramatic earnings beat while falling well short of revenue expectations. The Chinese EV maker reported a loss of $0.10 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $-1.51 by 93.39%, yet revenue of $2.18 billion trailed the $15.69 billion consensus by 86.11% and declined 66.7% year-over-year. The standout driver behind the earnings outperformance was a meaningful expansion in profitability, with gross margin climbing to 15.6% from 12.9% a year earlier and vehicle margin reaching 10.5%, marking seven consecutive quarters of vehicle gross margin improvement, fueled by cost reductions and growing economies of scale. Net loss narrowed 51.5% year-over-year to $91.51 million, reflecting the company's improving cost structure even as it scaled aggressively, with record quarterly deliveries of 94,008 vehicles representing a 330.8% year-over-year surge. Looking ahead, XPeng guided Q2 deliveries of 102,000 to 108,000 vehicles and total revenues of $2.41 billion to $2.57 billion, signaling continued momentum into the second quarter.
