Chinese electric car company Xpeng predicts chip shortage will last another quarter

Xpeng's U.S.-listed shares fell nearly 4.9% in Thursday's trading session despite the start-up reporting greater-than-expected revenue of 2.95 billion yuan for the first quarter.

The company said it delivered 13,340 cars in the first three months of the year, topping its forecast for 12,500 cars.While car sales account for the majority of Xpeng's revenue, the company noted first-quarter results were helped by customer demand for its assisted driving software.

Vehicle margin, a measure of profitability, rose to 10.1% in the first quarter, up from 6.8% in the prior quarter.
