Impact & implications

  • Weekly new orders are a leading indicator, but they may be affected by promotions, model launches, delivery cadence, and channel inventory.
  • The report's disclosures indicate that investors should assess applicability on their own; research opinions and estimates may change and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete.
  • For foreign-currency or cross-market securities, exchange rates, liquidity, macro interest rates, and market volatility may affect investment outcomes.

What to watch

  • Whether weekly new orders continue to improve or weaken in subsequent weeks.
  • Changes in order share between BYD, Geely, HIMA/AITO, and emerging EV brands.
  • Whether single-week order trends diverge among Li Auto, NIO, XPeng, Leap, Xiaomi, and Tesla.
  • Whether changes in orders can be transmitted to monthly deliveries, sales, and margin performance.
  • The disturbance of price adjustments, new model launches, and promotional activities on order trends.
