1810: Premium Auto Customization Will Drive Future Upside In High End Segment

Analysts have nudged their consolidated price target on Xiaomi slightly lower by about $3 to approximately $40 per share, reflecting expectations for slower internet of things growth and some margin pressure from higher component costs, partially offset by optimism around the company’s positioning in China’s electric vehicle and electronics markets. Analyst Commentary Recent Street commentary highlights a balanced mix of enthusiasm and caution around Xiaomi, with valuation underpinned by its growing presence in electric vehicles and core electronics, but tempered by near term profitability risks.
