Company Analysis: Xiaomi

As of 29/09/2026

HOLDSynthszr Vote

HOLD best matches the latest disclosed fundamentals (six months ended June 30, 2026): Xiaomi is demonstrating EV revenue growth and strong internet services profitability, but the most decision-relevant datapoints are margin compression across core hardware and EV/AI plus higher investment intensity. Specifically, group gross margin fell to 20.9% (from 22.7%), smartphone gross margin fell to 9.3% (from 12.0%), and Smart EV/AI segment gross margin fell to 19.6% (from 24.9%), while R&D rose 25.6% to RMB 18.2bn. (ir.mi.com) With valuation screens showing a trailing P/E around ~18.2x (late Sep 2026), the stock does not appear priced for prolonged margin deterioration; therefore, waiting for evidence of margin stabilization (component costs, promotional intensity, EV mix/ASP) offers a more data-driven entry/adding point than an unconditional BUY.

Summary

Xiaomi Group (HKG: 1810) is a consumer-electronics and internet-services platform with three main profit drivers: (1) smartphones (volume-led hardware with thin margins), (2) AIoT / lifestyle products (ecosystem hardware that supports user retention and cross-sell), and (3) internet services (advertising, value-added services) that carry structurally high gross margins. Over the last two years Xiaomi has added a fourth strategic pillar—Smart EV plus AI/new initiatives—aiming to extend its ecosystem into mobility and on-device/edge AI. In the latest disclosed half-year period (six months ended June 30, 2026), Xiaomi reported segment mix and margin dynamics that matter for near-term equity performance. Group gross margin declined to 20.9% (from 22.7% in 1H 2025), reflecting hardware pressure and a less favorable EV/AI mix. Smartphone gross margin fell to 9.3% (from 12.0%), and IoT & lifestyle gross margin fell to 22.3% (from 23.8%), both attributed primarily to higher key component costs. In contrast, internet services gross margin remained very high and slightly improved to 76.4% (from 76.1%), supported by a higher revenue contribution from advertising—reinforcing the role of internet services as the margin stabilizer. (ir.mi.com) Smart EV, AI and other new initiatives grew revenue 12.3% YoY to RMB 44.8bn in 1H 2026, with EV revenue up 10.9% to RMB 42.9bn. Deliveries rose 17.7% YoY to 185,055 units, while EV ASP declined 5.8% to RMB 231,848, driven by lower contribution from higher-priced SU7 Ultra deliveries. Segment gross margin fell to 19.6% (from 24.9%), also reflecting higher component costs and increased AI-related costs. R&D rose 25.6% to RMB 18.2bn, with management attributing the increase mainly to EV/AI investment and AI infrastructure. (ir.mi.com) Valuation (EUR framing): Xiaomi trades in HKD; for investors benchmarking in EUR, the key is that current market multiples are in the “mid-to-high teens” trailing P/E range per widely used market-data aggregators (e.g., ~18.2x as of late September 2026). (stockanalysis.com) With the current price not provided, this analysis focuses on directionally relevant valuation and operating drivers rather than price-target math. Outlook (short- to medium-term): the next 1–3 quarters are likely to be driven by (a) whether component-cost inflation and promotional intensity ease (hardware margin sensitivity), (b) continued resilience of internet services profitability, and (c) EV scaling versus ASP/mix and AI investment intensity. Recent EV delivery headlines indicate continued scaling (e.g., cumulative SU7 deliveries surpassing 500,000), but investors should weigh delivery growth against ASP/mix and segment margin compression already visible in 1H 2026.

Key Takeaways

1H 2026 group gross margin declined to 20.9% (from 22.7% in 1H 2025), with hardware margin pressure the main driver. (ir.mi.com)
Smartphone gross margin fell to 9.3% (from 12.0%) and IoT & lifestyle to 22.3% (from 23.8%), both linked primarily to higher key component costs. (ir.mi.com)
Internet services remains the profit anchor: gross margin was 76.4% (vs 76.1% prior year), supported by advertising mix. (ir.mi.com)
Smart EV/AI/new initiatives revenue grew 12.3% YoY to RMB 44.8bn in 1H 2026; deliveries rose 17.7% YoY to 185,055 units, but EV ASP fell 5.8% to RMB 231,848 and segment gross margin dropped to 19.6%. (ir.mi.com)
Market valuation screens show Xiaomi at ~18.2x trailing P/E (late Sep 2026), implying the stock is not priced as a deep-value hardware name; execution on margins and EV/AI economics is therefore central. (stockanalysis.com)

Action Ideas

BUY

Data-driven thesis: Xiaomi’s investment case is strongest when internet services profitability offsets hardware cyclicality. In 1H 2026, internet services gross margin held at 76.4% and improved slightly YoY, while hardware margins compressed due to component costs. A BUY stance is appropriate for investors who expect (i) normalization of component costs and/or reduced promotional intensity to lift smartphone/AIoT margins from depressed levels, and (ii) EV scale to continue without further disproportionate margin erosion. The position should be sized with awareness that EV/AI investment is raising R&D and can dilute near-term operating leverage. Key monitoring items: quarterly gross margin trajectory, internet services revenue mix, and EV ASP/mix versus delivery growth.

Horizon: 18 mo.

HOLD

Data-driven thesis: HOLD fits investors who want exposure to Xiaomi’s ecosystem and EV scaling but require clearer evidence of margin stabilization. 1H 2026 shows broad margin compression (group gross margin down to 20.9%; smartphone gross margin down to 9.3%; EV/AI segment margin down to 19.6%). Until there is at least one or two reporting periods showing improving hardware gross margins and/or EV segment margin stabilization, risk-adjusted returns may be more balanced than a clear BUY. Maintain exposure while using results-driven triggers (gross margin inflection, EV ASP stabilization, internet services growth) to decide on adding or trimming.

Horizon: 12 mo.

SELL

Data-driven thesis: SELL is appropriate for investors with low tolerance for margin volatility and investment-heavy expansion. The latest half-year data show simultaneous pressure in smartphones, IoT, and EV/AI margins, while operating expenses and R&D are rising (R&D +25.6% YoY to RMB 18.2bn). If an investor’s base case requires near-term operating leverage, the current financial profile (margin compression + higher investment) may not fit. This action is most defensible if subsequent quarterly disclosures confirm that component costs and promotional intensity are not easing and EV/AI economics are not improving.

Horizon: 6 mo.

Contrarian Insights

• EV scale is not automatically margin-accretive in the near term: despite higher deliveries in 1H 2026 (+17.7% YoY), EV ASP fell (−5.8%) and the Smart EV/AI segment gross margin dropped sharply to 19.6% (from 24.9%). The data imply that mix and AI cost intensity can dominate scale benefits over multi-quarter windows. (ir.mi.com)
• The most durable profitability signal is not smartphone unit share but internet services margin stability: internet services gross margin stayed ~76% and improved slightly YoY in 1H 2026, even as hardware margins compressed. A contrarian framing is to value Xiaomi more like a platform with a hardware distribution layer, rather than a pure hardware OEM—provided internet services continues to expand its revenue contribution.
