Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Short term interruption from chips and LFP battery shortage would be eased in 2H2022.</li>
<li>Xpeng’s monthly delivery would ramp up to 30,000 cars with the launch of G9 in 3Q2022.</li>
<li>We estimate Xpeng’s net profit will turn positive at the end of 2022, which would trigger further re-rating of the stock to HK$300 (or US$77).</li>

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>Short supply of LFP battery would not slow down the growth of EV sales. Only certain models might be affected short term.</li>
<li>However China’s increasing new COVID cases with its ‘zero tolerance’ measures is expected to results in an unprecedented decline in auto sales in worst scenario.</li>
<li>We suggest to stay with pure EV players (Xpeng) and wait for better entry point for ICE players (Geely).</li>
