Xiaomi’s stock is hovering just above its 52-week low of €3.04, a stark contrast to the flurry of product announcements that have emerged from the company in recent days. The shares currently trade at around €3.13, giving shareholders a decline of roughly 30% since the start of 2026 — and nearly 48% over the past twelve months. Two key stories are competing for investor attention: a major EV strategy update from the company’s auto design chief, and a software interoperability deal that promises to make Xiaomi phones work more seamlessly with iPhones. Neither has managed to arrest the slide.
The EV narrative gets its next platform moment on June 30, when Li Tianyuan, Xiaomi’s head of electric vehicle design, takes the stage at the Future AI Mobility Summit in Seoul. Li, who already penned the company’s first electric sedan, will unveil the YU7 SUV and detail a broader vision that treats the car as an extension of the smart home — linking the driver, the vehicle and the living space through an AI ecosystem. Autonomous driving trends are also on the agenda. But the market is deeply skeptical: the stock’s relative strength index sits at a weak 38.6, and the 200-day moving average of €4.32 remains far out of reach.
More immediately tangible is the software front. On June 2, Google released its “June Android Drop,” which includes Quick Share with AirDrop support, enabling file transfers between Android devices and iPhones over Bluetooth. Xiaomi is among the first to participate, with the Xiaomi 17T Pro appearing on the official compatibility list. Other brands such as Samsung, OnePlus, OPPO, Vivo and Honor are also named, but no other Xiaomi models are listed yet — not even in a “coming soon” section. Spanish financial daily Cinco Días has noted that the feature will run on HyperOS 3 and that the 17T Pro is the first Xiaomi device with this cross-platform capability.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Xiaomi?
HyperOS is central to Xiaomi’s strategy of tying together smartphones, tablets and smart-home gadgets, so any improvement that reduces friction with iOS users matters — especially in markets where both ecosystems coexist. Yet for now, only a single handset is affected, raising the question of how quickly Xiaomi can scale the integration to its broader portfolio. The company also launched the Xiaomi 17T in India on June 4 at ₹59,999, equipped with a Leica periscope camera boasting 5x optical zoom, a 6,500 mAh battery and HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. The device signals a push into the premium segment, but the financial picture remains troubled.
Xiaomi shipped 33.8 million smartphones in the first quarter of 2026, holding an 11.3% share of the global market — third place according to Omdia. That volume, however, came at a cost: the smartphone segment’s gross margin dropped to 10.1% from 12.4% a year earlier, squeezed by rising memory chip expenses and intensifying competition in mainland China. The EV venture adds another layer of cost pressure. Analysts have pointed to the heavy investment required to break into the auto industry as a clear drag on profitability.
Xiaomi now faces a test of credibility on both fronts. The EV unit must demonstrate a clear path to profitability, not just visionary product concepts. And the software interoperability feature, while welcome, will need to spread beyond a single flagship model before it can meaningfully influence the brand’s perception or its pricing power. Until those milestones turn concrete, the stock appears anchored near its lows, with the 50-day moving average at €3.39 and the 200-day at €4.32 both offering little more than reminders of how far the shares have fallen.
