PHYSIX OBSERVATION

XPeng selling its self-developed technology to competitors looks like a new revenue engine in the short term, but a 75.1% gross margin cannot mask the fact that the company still lost 1.34 billion yuan overall. Technology licensing is not a business of easy money; each additional customer adds another layer of adaptation and delivery costs, and whether it can scale depends on the reuse rate of R&D outputs. For the industry, this marks competition extending from products to the technology supply chain, but selling technology is not the same as selling standard parts, and the responsibilities and competitive risks are far from over.
