Li Auto Appears to Have Limited Catalysts in Near Term -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-16

0301 GMT - Macquarie reckons investors should wait to buy Li Auto despite its recent share price decline. The company's management needs a substantial strategic change to tell a turnaround story to investors, says analyst Eugene Hsiao in a note. Such changes could include a credible move into new product categories or cash shareholder return, he adds. In the absence of such a change, Macquarie maintains its underperform rating on the stock. Near-term catalysts for Li Auto's volume growth also appear limited given severe competition in the premium SUV market and lower EV registration tax incentive, he says. The brokerage cuts its target price to HK$59.00 from HK$66.00. Shares last at HK$64.15. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
