U.S. Stock Market Night Trading Movements

XPeng's stock fell 3.18% in night trading, possibly influenced by market expectations regarding advancements in autonomous driving technology. Recently, XPeng held an AI technology sharing session, revealing the development of a large-scale autonomous driving model. This news may have sparked market anticipation for its technological progress. However, despite the promising technological advancements, the market may be cautious about its short-term profitability and practical application effects, leading to a decline in stock price.

Additionally, JP Morgan's research report pointed out that although XPeng has strong profit momentum, the slowdown in global economic growth could have potential impacts on it, further exacerbating market concerns. The report noted that XPeng's profit momentum is strong, especially against the backdrop of robust sales of new energy vehicles.

Nevertheless, XPeng is still considered one of the preferred stocks in the automotive sector, reflecting market recognition of its long-term potential.
