Stock Target Advisor’s Take on Li Auto:
Stock Target Advisor assigns Li Auto a “Buy” rating with a target price of $62.94, anticipating a price change of 58.45% over the next year. Our forecast is slightly more optimistic than the average target price from 06 analysts, which stands at $58.55. This divergence is based on our assessment of positive signals and sector-leading performance metrics.
