I can see why contrarian investors may be interested in XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) stock. Shares in China-based electric vehicle (or EV) companies have fallen out of favor among investors, but the shift in sentiment has been the most dramatic among this particular name.
As a result of its extended price decline since June, Xpeng has become seemingly undervalued, if you compare its valuation (on a price/sales, or P/S, basis) to that of comparable names.
But while it’s true XPeng trades at a discount to its peers, that doesn’t make it a bargain. There’s a reason why XPEV trades at a lower sales multiple. This company is facing even more challenges than the other high-profile China-based EV makers with U.S. stock market listings.
It’s not an opportune move to try and call a bottom in this stock, as it’s likely to become “cheaper” from here. Here’s why.
XPEV XPeng $9.05

The stock market continued moving up on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 hitting a new high at points during the session before pulling back slightly. Even though the Dow Jones Industrial Average is still well short of its record levels, market participants were pleased to see extremely strong sentiment from investors, especially among stocks of smaller companies. With the current bull market being well into its 10th year, many skeptics have looked for signs of eroding confidence, but those that have appeared recently haven’t had any lasting downward impact on stocks. Good news from several companies helped contribute to the positive mood on Wall Street. Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), Medtronic (NYSE:MDT), and Regis (NYSE:RGS) were among the best performers on the day. Here’s why they did so well.
