Summary
As of July, Temu's US operations were close to EBITDA profitability, driven mainly by reduced US advertising spending, with the full-year global budget of US$4.3 billion expected to come in under US$4 billion. AI coding startups have raised nearly US$1 billion in 20 months. A senior Saudi Aramco executive said the company is committed to expanding investment in China.
XPeng plans to expand its business from 30 countries and regions to at least 40 by the end of the year.
Commentary
XPeng has announced it will enter New Zealand, following BYD,
as Chinese EV brands accelerate their push into right-hand-drive markets. NZ SME owners should watch for opportunities in charging networks and local after-sales services, but low-priced models could squeeze existing dealer margins – the ability to adapt will be critical.
