Analysis · LI · Manufacturing
August deliveries of 37,679 units represent a 23.7% increase from July's 30,468, reversing a two-month decline and marking the strongest monthly volume since May. The rebound comes alongside a packed September product calendar — the new Li MEGA launches September 2, the Li i9 flagship family SUV arrives mid-month, and MACH VLA rolls out to Thor and Orin-X platforms. The Dubai launch event signals the start of Middle East sales, a new geographic expansion. Against a backdrop of aggressive share buybacks and a narrowing Q2 loss, this delivery recovery and product cadence support the company's Q3 guidance of higher deliveries.
