Is XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) a buy in 2026?

China's EV survivor turned export contender, trading near 52-week lows while the export and robotaxi optionality the market keeps ignoring starts compounding.
Where XPEV is headed
XPeng sits at $15, basically a rounding error above its 52-week low, and the market has decided it's a loser in the Chinese EV bloodbath. Look closer. Gross margin has climbed to 19% from single digits two years ago. Free cash flow is positive at $4.2B. Operating margin just crossed zero. This isn't a company dying — it's a company finishing the hardest part of the turnaround while the share price acts like it's still 2023.
