The Chinese electric vehicle-maker forecast revenue of 8.5 billion yuan to 9 billion yuan for the current quarter ending September, below estimates of 9.77 billion yuan ($1.34 billion), according to the average estimate of six analysts by Refinitiv.
The forecast underscores weak demand in China and intense competition following price cuts unleashed by Tesla (TSLA.O) and other home-grown automakers.
In the second quarter ended June 30, Xpeng's revenue decreased 32% to 5.06 billion yuan, in line with estimates.
