Li Auto share price today

Li Auto Inc.'s share price was $11.58 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been falling for 45 weeks. That is 21.5% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $11 and $20, and at that close it sat 10% of the way up from that low.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Li Auto Inc. is in stage 4. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 27 weeks running.

Over the last 6.3 years the share price moved −28% while the S&P 500 moved +135%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 1 May 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Li Auto Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes.

Li Auto is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Li Auto Inc. posted a net loss of CNY 1.7 B in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was CNY 1.1 B. That loss is 6.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned CNY 1.1 B. 3 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

Jun 2026 profit was −CNY 1.7 B, −255.5% on a year earlier. For the full year, FY25 profit was CNY 1.1 B (−85.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −15.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −11.4 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −232.3% and revenue −24.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

Li Auto Inc. reported CNY 25.7 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −15.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 42.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at CNY 112 B. The last four reported quarters add to CNY 105 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY25 revenue was CNY 112 B, −22.3% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −24.4% on average, against 42.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −26.9%, against −11.5% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over).

Li Auto Inc.'s operating margin was −8.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 11.4 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −7.9% and 5.9%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every CNY 100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −11.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −9.1 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 276% of Li Auto Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 its operations used CNY 8.6 B of cash, against CNY 1.1 B of profit.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

After CNY 4.2 B of spending on assets, free cash was −CNY 12.8 B: it spent more than its operations brought in.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Li Auto Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent CNY 18.4 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 5.5% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: CNY 18.4 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Li Auto Inc. has no P/E right now, because its earnings are negative. The revenue and margin sections are where a turn would show first. The P/E comes back here once profit turns positive.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Li Auto Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue and profit growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −26.9% in the latest quarter, against +173.5% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at -7.7%. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind.

This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Li Auto Inc. earned a ROE of 2% in FY25. That is up from a low of −5% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 10.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses.

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

It comes from a 1.0% net margin and 0.73× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 1.0% net margin × 0.73× asset turnover × 2.11× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 1.5% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −4.9% − 5.6% = −10.5 percentage points. The 5.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve.

The −4.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY22 at −309.7%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

Li Auto Inc. has total debt of CNY 14.7 B against shareholder equity of CNY 66.0 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.22× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.19 in FY21 to 0.24 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

We have no ownership or short-position figures for Li Auto Inc., so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 9.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

For Li Auto Inc., the Z-score is 2.18. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.
