Li Auto Shares Rise 2.92% on $390M Volume (Rank 271st) as Q2 Earnings Miss Revenue Targets and Delivery Shortfall Trigger Liquidity Concerns

On August 28, 2025, Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) closed at a 2.92% increase with a trading volume of $0.39 billion, ranking 271st in market activity. The stock faced premarket declines following the release of second-quarter results that fell short of expectations. Revenue totaled RMB30.25 billion ($4.2 billion), a 4.5% annual decline, while vehicle deliveries reached 111,074 units—up 2.3% year-over-year but below the company’s guidance of 123,000–128,000 units. Net profit decreased marginally to RMB1.09 billion ($152.4 million), attributed to slower sales and elevated costs linked to new model launches and marketing initiatives.

Despite improved vehicle and gross margins (19.4% and 20.1%, respectively), negative free cash flow and operating cash outflows of RMB3.0 billion raised concerns over short-term liquidity. CFO Tie Li emphasized ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and cost control. The company forecast third-quarter deliveries between 90,000 and 95,000 units—a 38–42% decline from the prior year. Analyst Tim Hsiao of Morgan Stanley described the report as “better than feared” but noted the conservative guidance reflects cautious positioning amid market challenges.
