First quarterly turnaround from loss to profit! Has XPeng reached a turning point?
The Hong Kong stock auto sector performed strongly today, with the sector rising by 2.5%. Among them, $NIO-SW (09866.HK)$ Li Auto surged 16.1% in half a day thanks to its first-ever quarterly profit that beat expectations; $LEAPMOTOR (09863.HK)$ 、 $SERES (09927.HK)$and$GWMOTOR (02333.HK)$ Other stocks rose more than 4.8% in the half-day session, $XPENG-W (09868.HK)$ 、 $GEELY AUTO (00175.HK)$ with some surging 5.6% and 8.6%, indicating broad-based gains across the industry.
However, as one of the three giants of the new forces, $LI AUTO-W (02015.HK)$ UBS Group saw relatively moderate movements, with a rise of 1.38% to HKD 70, underperforming the sector's average level. From a technical perspective, the stock price is above the 10-day moving average (HKD 67.84) and has slightly breached the 30-day moving average (HKD 69.16), suggesting that short-term movement remains within a consolidation range. The immediate resistance level above is at HKD 73.2, with further resistance seen at HKD 75.1 (previous high). The key support below is at HKD 66.7, and if it breaks effectively, it may open up downside space to test the HKD 64 level.
The current technical indicators for Li Auto show clear divergence, with increasing tension between buyers and sellers at this level:
Most signals are neutral: the Stochastic Oscillator (KDJ) and Williams %R are in neutral zones, the RSI indicator stands at 55, and both the Momentum Oscillator and Rate of Change indicator point towards neutrality. This indicates a lack of clear directional momentum, and the stock price will likely remain in a short-term consolidation phase.
Sell signals have appeared: the CCI indicator has entered overbought territory and issued a sell signal, implying that short-term gains have accumulated and profit-taking pressure exists. Particularly, against the backdrop of significant sector-wide gains, individual stocks' weak performance suggests caution is needed regarding potential pullbacks.
Rare divergence signal: the MACD indicator shows a 'Golden Cross' buy signal, diverging clearly from other indicators, potentially signaling that downward momentum is gradually weakening. A catalyst could easily trigger a short-term rebound, but a trend reversal still requires confirmation through volume.
Overall, Li Auto is currently in a divergence pattern of 'strong sector performance versus individual stock consolidation.' Technically, it faces challenges both upward and downward, with bullish and bearish forces in a fragile balance. The upcoming quarterly earnings announcement will be the key variable to break this deadlock. Based on historical experience, the release of earnings by new energy vehicle companies often triggers significant stock price volatility. If the results exceed expectations, they can instantly reverse technical disadvantages and drive the stock price above resistance levels. However, if the results fall short of expectations, it may lead to profit-taking selloffs, opening up downside risks.


For bull contracts, investors who are optimistic about the market outlook may consider two products. UBS Group’s bull contract (59429) offers approximately 3.9 times actual leverage with a stop-loss level at HKD 58.

For bearish positions, there are bear contracts such as J.P. Morgan's bear contract (68758), which has a stop-loss level set at HKD 78 and provides approximately 6.1 times actual leverage. Its main selling point is the lowest premium. Another UBS Group bear contract (67911) has a stop-loss level of HKD 79 and offers about 5.1 times actual leverage.

In terms of call warrants, investors may consider UBS Group’s call warrant (24865), with an exercise price of HKD 75.93 and approximately 3.6 times leverage. This warrant is considered ideal in terms of implied volatility and leverage.

Its advantage lies in offering the highest leverage among call warrants with relatively low premiums, making it suitable for investors optimistic about the underlying stock and looking to capture gains at a lower cost.
As for put warrants, Credit Suisse's put warrant (24225) stands out as a choice, with an exercise price of HKD 59.88 and about 3 times leverage.
