Based on collected market data, news, and financial information, I have prepared this

in-depth analysis report on the impact of Xiaomi SU7’s pricing strategy on group valuation
.


Analysis of the Impact of Xiaomi SU7’s Pricing Strategy and Market Performance on Group Valuation
I. In-Depth Analysis of Xiaomi SU7’s Pricing Strategy
1.1 Pricing System Structure

The Xiaomi SU7 adopts a

“low-start, high-move” tiered pricing strategy
, covering a price range of RMB 215,900 to RMB 529,900:

Edition Pricing (10,000 RMB) Core Positioning Competitor Benchmarking
Standard Edition
21.59 Mainstream Volume Model Zeekr 007 (20.99), Tesla Model 3
Pro Edition
24.59 Mid-to-High-End Intelligent Model Tesla Model 3 Long Range
Max Edition
29.99 High-Performance Coupe BMW 5 Series New Energy, Zhijie S7
Ultra Edition
52.99 Ultimate Performance/Brand Upgrading Tesla Model S Plaid (81.49)
1.2 Market Logic of the Pricing Strategy

(1) “Smoke Screen” Pricing Method — A Textbook Example with the Ultra Edition

The pricing of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is a model for the industry. During the pre-sale phase, the Nürburgring limited edition was priced at

RMB 814,900
, establishing an “upscale, scarce” image; upon official launch, it was unveiled at
RMB 529,900
, a price difference of up to RMB 285,000, almost equivalent to the price of a SU7 MAX. This “high-first, low-later” strategy created a huge psychological gap and topic buzz:

  • Over
    6,900 orders
    within 10 minutes of launch
  • Over 10,000 orders within 2 hours
  • Nearly
    20,000 firm orders
    within 3 days
  • Far exceeding Lei Jun’s original target of “10,000 units sold annually”[1]

(2) Cost-Effectiveness Differentiated Competition

In the mainstream electric sedan market of RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000, the Xiaomi SU7 has established a differentiated advantage through a

“Performance for All”
strategy:

  • 800V high-voltage platform
  • 800km ultra-long range (Max Edition)
  • 2-second 0-100km/h acceleration (Ultra Edition)
  • 350km/h top speed (Ultra Edition)

These performance parameters could only be achieved by million-level supercars in the traditional fuel vehicle era; Xiaomi has lowered the threshold to the RMB 200,000 to RMB 500,000 range, directly benchmarking against Tesla Model S Plaid (RMB 814,900) and Zeekr 001 FR (RMB 769,000), but at only

one-third to one-half the price of competitors
[1].


II. Market Performance: Data Validates the Success of the Pricing Strategy
2.1 Deliveries Continue to Exceed Expectations
Time Node Deliveries/Orders Milestone Significance
April 2024 (First Month) Approximately 7,000 units Production Ramp-Up Phase
December 2024 (First Full Year)
136,854 units
Completed First Full Delivery Year
January 2025 Monthly deliveries exceeded 23,000 units Production Capacity Breakthrough
June 2025 (YU7 Launch)
200,000 firm orders
within 3 minutes
SUV Market Breakthrough
Full Year 2025
Over 410,000 units
Exceeded the 300,000-unit target
December 2025 Monthly deliveries of
41,000 units
Hit a New All-Time High

According to the latest data disclosed by Lei Jun, the Xiaomi SU7 has delivered

over 360,000 units in just 1 year and 9 months
, with an average monthly delivery of over 17,000 units, becoming the
best-selling sedan priced above RMB 200,000
[2].

2.2 YU7 Takes the Baton, Market Momentum Continues

On June 26, 2025, Xiaomi’s second model, the YU7, was officially launched, priced at

RMB 253,500 - RMB 329,900
:

  • Over
    200,000 firm orders
    within 3 minutes
  • Over
    289,000 firm orders
    within 1 hour
  • Over
    240,000 locked orders
    within 18 hours

The market performance of the YU7 has surpassed that of the first model SU7, proving that the Xiaomi Auto brand has gained consumer recognition and that the product line expansion strategy is successful[2].


III. Impact on the Overall Valuation of Xiaomi Group
3.1 Significant Valuation-Driving Effect

The outstanding performance of Xiaomi Auto has become the

core catalyst
for the group’s valuation restructuring:

Time Point Stock Price (HKD) Market Capitalization (100 million HKD) Valuation Driver
Early 2024 ~12 ~3,000 Traditional Mobile Phone + IoT Business
March 2024 ~16 ~4,000 Expectations for SU7 Launch
June 2024 ~18 ~5,000 Imminent SU7 Deliveries
February 2025
50.9
12,700
Deliveries Exceed Expectations, Auto Business Profitability
January 2026 ~49.7 ~11,500 Valuation Digestion, YU7 Launch

The stock price soared from

HKD 12
in early 2024 to a peak of
HKD 50.9
, representing an increase of over
320%
; the market capitalization exceeded
HKD 1.27 trillion
, entering the global top 100 by market capitalization for the first time[3].

3.2 Valuation Logic Restructuring

Traditionally, the market used a

“hardware company” valuation logic
for Xiaomi (P/E ratio of 15-20x). The success of the auto business has earned it a
“ecosystem-based tech company”
valuation premium:

  • Change in Revenue Structure
    : Auto business share increased from 0 to approximately
    15%
    (2025 estimate)
  • Growth Engine Switch
    : The auto business grew
    199% YoY
    in Q3 2024, becoming the strongest growth driver
  • Profitability Validation
    : The auto business achieved its first quarterly operating profit of
    RMB 700 million
    in Q3 2024[2]
3.3 Institutional Ratings and Target Prices

Currently, a total of

35 analysts
have issued ratings for Xiaomi Group, with an average target price of
HKD 64.08
, representing approximately
20% upside potential
from the current stock price[4]:

Institution Rating Target Price (HKD) Upside Potential
BOCOM International Buy 75 +51%
BOC International Buy 71.9 +45%
CLSA Outperform with High Conviction 69 +39%
Daiwa Buy 68 +37%
JPMorgan Neutral 60 +21%

However, there are significant divergences in the market regarding valuation. Some analysts believe that the current valuation has fully reflected future profit expectations, requiring continuous performance verification[3].


IV. Strategic Impact on Xiaomi’s Business Prospects
4.1 Implementation of the “Full Ecosystem of People, Cars, and Homes” Strategy

The success of Xiaomi Auto marks the official closure of its

“Full Ecosystem of People, Cars, and Homes” strategy
:

  • Mobile Phones
    as the intelligent hub (world’s third-largest mobile phone manufacturer)
  • IoT
    device matrix (smart home, wearable devices)
  • Cars
    as mobile intelligent terminals

The three businesses form a

synergistic effect
:

  • The HyperOS system connects mobile phones, cars, and smart homes
  • Over 100 million MIUI users can seamlessly migrate to the auto ecosystem
  • Brand loyalty is extended to the auto business
4.2 Revenue and Profit Contribution Estimation

Quarterly Performance of the Auto Business (Q3 2024):

  • Quarterly Revenue:
    RMB 28.3 billion
  • Operating Profit:
    RMB 700 million
    (First Profit)
  • Gross Profit Margin:
    Approximately 10-12%
  • Business Share:
    Approximately 10%

Full Year 2025 Forecast:

  • Expected Auto Revenue:
    Over RMB 100 billion
  • Business Share:
    Approximately 15%
  • Delivery Target:
    550,000 units
    (34% YoY growth)[2]
4.3 Long-Term Growth Potential

(1) Production Capacity Expansion

  • Continuous production ramp-up at the Beijing plant
  • Second plant in planning
  • 2026 delivery target of 550,000 units, expected to exceed
    800,000 units
    in 2027

(2) Product Line Expansion

  • SU7 (sedan) + YU7 (SUV) cover key markets
  • More models expected to be launched in 2026-2027
  • Global layout (potential entry into European and Southeast Asian markets)

(3) Intelligent Moat

  • Continuous upgrade of L2-level advanced driver-assistance systems
  • Integration advantages of the HyperOS cockpit ecosystem
  • AI large models empowering intelligent driving

V. Risk and Challenge Analysis
5.1 Short-Term Risks

(1) Gross Profit Margin Decline Pressure

Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group, stated on the earnings call that the gross profit margin of Xiaomi Auto
may decline in 2026 compared to 2025
. The reasons include:

  • Adjustments to national subsidy policies
  • Fluctuations in raw material costs
  • Intensified price competition[2]

(2) Valuation Digestion Pressure

The current P/E ratio is approximately 40-50x, which has fully reflected the high-growth expectations of the auto business. If deliveries or gross profit margins fall short of expectations, a valuation pullback may occur.

5.2 Medium-to-Long-Term Challenges

(1) Intensified Industry Competition

  • Continuous price wars between BYD and Tesla
  • Accelerated product iteration by new forces (Li Auto, NIO, XPeng)
  • Accelerated electrification transformation of traditional automakers

(2) Technology Iteration Risk

  • Uncertainty in intelligent driving technology routes
  • New technologies such as solid-state batteries may disrupt the existing landscape
  • Efforts still needed for independent and controllable chip supply

(3) Slowdown in Mobile Phone and IoT Businesses

  • JPMorgan predicts that the 2025 smartphone business growth rate will be only
    5%
  • The growth rate of the IoT business will slow significantly in the second half of the year[4]

VI. Investment Conclusions and Outlook
6.1 Core Conclusions
Dimension Assessment
Pricing Strategy
Successful — Balances mainstream market and brand upgrading, validated by order data
Market Performance
Exceeds Expectations — Deliveries continuously exceed targets, YU7 sustains market momentum
Valuation Impact
Significant Driver — 320% stock price increase, valuation logic restructuring
Business Prospects

6.2 Valuation Range Judgment

Based on the DCF valuation model and professional institutional views, the reasonable valuation range for Xiaomi Group is:

Scenario Valuation (HKD/Share) Driver
Optimistic
70-75 Auto deliveries exceed expectations, gross profit margin increases
Neutral
60-65 Meets delivery targets, maintains profitability
Conservative
50-55 Intensified competition, gross profit margin declines
6.3 Investment Recommendations

Short-Term (Within 6 Months):
Focus on auto delivery data and gross profit margin performance; if data continues to exceed expectations, the stock price is expected to break the previous high.

Medium-Term (6-12 Months):
Focus on the pace of new product launches, intelligent function upgrades, and stable performance of the mobile phone business.

Long-Term (1-3 Years):
Xiaomi Auto is expected to become the
core growth engine
following the mobile phone business, and the synergistic effects of the “Full Ecosystem of People, Cars, and Homes” will continue to release value.
