The Chinese electric vehicle market is one of the fastest growing in the world, and XPeng is a top competitor in its home country. The smart electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer continues to make strides toward profitability, including forging a strategic partnership with Volkswagen, which is helping drive its stock higher.
Below, we’ll take a close look at how XPeng stock is performing today, where its valuation stands, and what experts think could happen to its price in 2025, 2026, and 2030. You’ll find projections from Wall Street analysts and independent models, along with an overview of the key trends, possible risks, and different opinions shaping XPeng’s future.
Current XPeng Stock Overview
Market Cap: $20.48 billionTrailing P/E Ratio: N/AForward P/E Ratio: N/A1-Year Return: 189%2025 Year to Date: Up 77%, recovering from lows in 2024.
As of September 2025, XPeng (XPEV) trades at about $21 per share, a significant increase from lows that plagued the stock from the end of 2022 through 2024. Because the EV maker is in growth mode, it’s still operating at a loss due to significant investment in R&D, so it has no trailing P/E or forward P/E calculated as of now. However, four quarters of beats on analyst forecasted earnings is a positive sign that the company is headed in the right direction.
The EV market in China is incredibly competitive, but a 2023 partnership with Volkswagen is starting to bear fruit and is expected to result in two China-specific VW models on the roads in 2026. XPeng’s unique position as a smart EV manufacturer with its own full-stack software development process has made it an attractive partner for Volkswagen while creating a unique moat for itself.
Although few analysts are offering rating recommendations for XPEV as of now, the three recommendations in August from Citigroup, BofA Securities, and Macquarie are all Buy. With forecasted upsides of between 18.6% and 39.47%, Wall Street believes there’s a lot of room for this stock to move, especially given the intense EV demand in China.

XPeng Stock Price Prediction for 2025
Forecast Range: $18.57 – $25.32
Current stock price forecasts for the remainder of 2025 range from $18.57 to $25.32, with an average prediction of $21.63, which is roughly where the stock sits now. However, the bullish case for growth based on Volkswagen’s partnership and 5% stake, coupled with decreasing net losses may mean this prediction is lower than where the stock closes at the end of the year.
XPeng Stock Price Prediction for 2026
Forecast Range: $8.64 – $23.97
Despite the upcoming Volkswagen-XPeng vehicles expected in 2026, forecasters predict it will be a difficult year for investors, with a forecasted share price range of $8.64 to $23.97, and an average of $14.51. While the company may continue to show negative net income, the gap has been narrowing for years, and 2026 could be its breakout year. Bears are likely to remain skeptical until more is known about demand for the new vehicles.
XPeng Stock Price Prediction for 2030
Forecast Range: $2.21 – $37.04
The expected price spread for XPeng stock in 2030 is wide. Some models show the stock dropping as low as $2.21, which makes sense if it’s assumed that the EV maker will remain unprofitable into the next decades. However, a CAGR of 8% to 12% to forecast growth shows prices in 2030 between $30.89 and $37.04. A lot depends on how XPeng performs in the near term, especially when it comes to attaining profitability. But with Volkswagen taking a 5% stake and the new Volkswagen-XPeng vehicles waiting to roll off the assembly line, 2030’s prices may well be determined by what happens in 2026.
Investment Considerations
Although XPeng is still considered a speculative stock, its increasing profitability and partnership with brands like Volkswagen show that the company is striving to become a stable and mainstream auto manufacturer. Its unique position as a full-stack software developer for its own smart EVs also may create a niche offering it can extend to others in the space.
Risk factors at this stage are significant, however, since the company hasn’t turned a profit yet, despite many signs pointing to its likelihood. It’s still not there though, and the very competitive Chinese EV market could be a serious obstacle, despite VW’s backing.
The sometimes mysterious world of Chinese regulations could also throw a wrench into the works at any time, but since XPeng’s cars are meant for the local market, global concerns are minimal. Its partnership with Volkswagen was a gateway for the German auto manufacturer to enter that market, and it could be a path for other global car makers as well.
