The recent gains come as deliveries for the second quarter were better than anticipated. Xpeng said that it shipped a total of 23,205 EVs for Q2 2023, marking a 27% increase over the previous quarter. The numbers were also ahead of the company\u2019s guidance of between 21,000 and 22,000 vehicles. The company also delivered about 8,620 cars, marking a 15% increase versus May. However, the quarterly numbers were about 32% lower than deliveries for Q2 2022. That said, the sequential growth indicates that Xpeng may be working its way out of a delivery slump after Tesla<fbs-ticker data-name=\"TSLA\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/tesla\" data-type=\"stock\"><br \/>\n  TSLA<br \/>\n <\/fbs-ticker> and other Chinese EV players began slashing prices on vehicles earlier this year to bolster sales. Separately, Xpeng launched its fifth model, the G6 Ultra Smart Coupe, last month, and there is a possibility that this could also help the company\u2019s numbers to an extent.<\/p>\n<p>So, is Xpeng stock a buy? It isn\u2019t clear. While the company\u2019s deliveries have improved, it has fallen behind rivals such as Li Auto, which delivered 86,533 units over the last quarter. Moreover, competition in the market is also expected to remain stiff. For example, rival Nio just carried out sizable price cuts on its vehicles last quarter. Xpeng\u2019s financial performance has also been tough. For Q1, the company\u2019s net losses were wider than expected, while gross margins came in at a mere 1.7%, down from 12.2% in the year-ago period. Xpeng also trades at about 3x forward revenues, which is ahead of Nio and faster-growing Li Auto. This might not be justified given the margin pressures the company is facing.
