- NIO's Stock Potential: NIO's current price of $4.61 against a consensus target of $7.62 indicates a potential upside of 65.29%, reflecting market optimism regarding its infrastructure maturity.
- Li Auto's Stability: Li Auto's stock price stands at $16.94 with a target of $25.24, offering a 49% upside; while lower than NIO's, its consistent profitability makes it a safer investment choice.
- XPeng's Market Positioning: XPeng's current price of $18.79 and a target of $21.78 suggest a modest 15.91% upside, indicating that much of its growth is already priced in due to investor confidence in its AI and autonomous driving capabilities.
- Investment Strategy Choices: For high-risk, high-reward investors, NIO presents a mathematical edge, while those seeking growth backed by stronger fundamentals may find Li Auto's nearly 50% potential upside compelling.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for LI is 21.12 USD with a low forecast of 17.00 USD and a high forecast of 32.00 USD.
