Crisis And Opportunity In Auto Makers
The auto industry is in distress but not extreme distress; stable companies with low valuations like Toyota, Honda, and Li Auto are likely to outperform. Despite recent selloffs, markets remain richly priced; value investing may now have a chance to redeem itself, especially in distressed industries. Established automakers face declining margins and sales, while newer EV manufacturers see rising sales but flat or negative profits.

Li Auto's Selloff Triggers Excellent Buying Opportunity - Reiterate Buy
The macro/geopolitical uncertainties have triggered Li Auto's much needed selloff, as the bulls continue to defend the $22s floor since September 2024. This is especially since the automaker has reported growing deliveries, still healthy profit margins, and richer balance sheet, despite the higher expenses on a YoY basis. With LI expected to launch BEVs while entering numerous international markets in 2025, we may see 2025/2026 bring forth renewed growth opportunities beyond the domestic market.
