Xpeng: record deliveries, robotaxi, and international expansion

Xpeng announced the publication of its third-quarter 2026 results on November 16, following a record of 118,390 deliveries, and highlighted a monthly record in October with more than 13,000 units delivered outside China. The Chinese manufacturer obtained a level 4 robotaxi license in Guangzhou, claims a major breakthrough in robotaxis, and aims for the deployment of level 4 autonomous driving by the end of 2028. These announcements support the stock price, where the share is considered undervalued by some analysts despite its volatility. National differences mainly concern regulation and sales: China is advancing on driverless authorizations, the United States reacts through stock performance, while Norway, Israel, and Germany show record commercial performance.
