- Total second-quarter revenue reached 108.9 billion yuan, missing the average analyst estimate of 112.2 billion yuan, while Xiaomi shipped 31.2 million smartphone units, a 26% decline from a year ago.
- Xiaomi's electric vehicle business reported 23.9 billion yuan in revenue, up 15.9% annually, with 104,199 vehicles delivered, though operations related to new EV and artificial intelligence initiatives posted a 2.6 billion yuan loss.
- To diversify revenue streams beyond its saturated smartphone business, Xiaomi launched the SkyNomad SUV series in July and plans to enter European markets by 2027, seeking new growth drivers.
