10 Firms Shine Amid Wall Street’s Lackluster Trading

7. XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV)

Chinese automaker XPeng Inc. (XPEV) grew for a third day on Thursday, adding 6.28 percent to close at $13.87 each as investors cheered further developments from the company’s vehicle launches.

During the Consumer Electronics Show 2025 in Las Vegas last week, XPeng unveiled the Aero HT, which it calls the “modular flying car,”—an electric minivan with a folding electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle in the back.

Xpeng’s (XPEV) approach to the carrier and eVTOL follows a hybrid approach, allowing the user to drive the car and initiate a single command to release and unfold the aircraft. Once it finishes flying and landing, the aircraft then reconnects to the carrier which then folds its arms and restores the aircraft to the starting position in the trunk.

XPeng’s (XPEV) Aero HT highlighted what economies will expect from the global transportation industries in the future.
