Xiaomi shares extend losses as police investigate EV accident

Xiaomi shares extend losses as police investigate EV accident

[HONG KONG] Xiaomi shares suffered another sell-off on Wednesday (Apr 2), signalling unabated investor concerns after Chinese police launched a probe into a deadly accident that involved one of its electric vehicles.

The firm’s Hong Kong-listed stock slid 4.2 per cent to close at the lowest level since mid-February, after swinging between losses and gains during the day. Down for a fifth straight session, it is now more than 20 per cent below a record high last month.

The extended weakness came after Xiaomi confirmed on Tuesday that one of its SU7 electric vehicles was involved in an accident on an expressway in China, with local media reporting that three people died in the incident. Xiaomi’s chief executive officer Lei Jun promised to keep working with the police in the investigation.

The incident marks a key test of confidence in Xiaomi, which had recently become an investor darling after it duplicated its smartphone success in China’s crowded EV market. The accident is also set to spark broader scrutiny of the smart driving software deployed in many of the modern new-energy cars.

“Investors will wait for the conclusions from the probe before showing more determination in buying Xiaomi dips,” said Li Weiqing, fund manager at JH Investment Management. “If they were actually to find fault in Xiaomi’s car, then it might be a short- to mid-term negative for the company and it will need to undergo thorough rectification.”

Hong Kong-listed shares of Xiaomi’s EV rivals BYD and XPeng, which are known for smart-driving features, also declined.

Xiaomi’s stock options were active for a second session, with more than 175,000 contracts changing hands on Wednesday, double the 20-day average. Put options expiring in June with an exercise price 15 per cent below the closing level were the most traded.

Xiaomi’s entry into the EV market has been a big success, with its first model, the Xiaomi SU7, seeing overwhelming demand. Within the first 24 hours of pre-orders, the company reportedly received over 50,000 firm orders, putting pressure on production capacity.

Xiaomi last month raised its 2025 delivery target for EVs to 350,000 units after posting its fastest revenue growth since 2021. BLOOMBERG
