Halfway through 2025, the scoreboard for auto stocks listed in the U.S. is clear: Chinese players are dominating, and American automakers are scrambling to catch up.The backdrop? A chaotic first half, punctuated by Donald Trump's return to the White House and a sweeping tariff blitz in April. U.S. automakers are still reeling from a 25% tariff on imported vehicles. While components received some leniency, and auto duties won't stack on top of steel and aluminum tariffs, it has done little to soothe investor nerves.Even with Trump offering lead time for domestic companies to reconfigure their supply chains, the top-performing auto stocks in the U.S. market this year include three Chinese names, despite Chinese EVs remaining effectively banned from the U.S. due to tariffs and national security concerns.Leading the pack:<ul style="list-style-type:circle;"><li><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NIU">Niu Technologies</a> (NIU): The electric scooter and e-bike&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/niu-xpev-stocks-outshine-tsla-rivn-lcid-in-2025/ch0Q3OqRbq3">firm</a> is up a staggering 87% in 2025.

Chinese Auto Stocks Are Crushing US Rivals As 2025 Hits The Halfway Mark

Small-cap player Niu, “Tesla killer” BYD and Xpeng have offered way better returns than Ford, GM or Tesla amid a chaotic six-month period punctuated by President Trump’s tariff blitz.

Tesla, Rivian and Lucid may dominate headlines in the U.S. electric vehicle space, but two Chinese players have emerged as the surprise EV stars of 2025, delivering standout returns and catching the eye of retail investors.While Rivian (RIVN) is up 19% year-to-date, Tesla (TSLA) and Lucid (LCID) have posted losses of about 15% and 12%, respectively.&nbsp;In contrast, Niu Technologies (NIU) has more than doubled, and XPeng Inc. (XPEV) has surged 77%.The Breakout PlayersBeijing-based Niu Technologies specializes in urban mobility solutions, including electric scooters, motorcycles, kick-scooters, and e-bikes. Guangzhou-based XPeng manufactures smart EVs such as the G3 SUV and P7 sports sedan.Retail interest has soared: message volume for NIU and XPEV has more than doubled on Stocktwits over the past month, with sentiment meters closing out on ‘bullish’ levels over the past few sessions.&nbsp;Strong first-quarter earnings have only reinforced the optimism.Niu<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1312/1340;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/NIU_stock_YTD_chart_with_sentiment_meter_and_message_volume_as_of_May_22_png_63bd8ef2c7.webp" alt="NIU stock YTD chart with sentiment meter and message volume as of May 22.png" width="1312" height="1340"><figcaption>NIU stock YTD chart with sentiment meter and message volume as of May 22. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>In the first quarter of 2025, Niu sold 203,000 units, marking a 57.4% year-over-year (YoY) jump. Sales in China rose 66%, and overseas sales grew 6.4%. Total revenue reached 682 million yuan ($94.6 million), a 35% increase from a year earlier.The company also expanded aggressively, opening 384 new stores, with half in Tier 3 and Tier 4 Chinese cities.However, Niu noted pressures in the form of an inventory glut in Europe and changing U.S. tariff policies.With a market valuation of just over $251 million, the small-cap company expects to regain profitability in the second half of 2025 in the U.S. through price hikes and by taking advantage of the temporary 10% tariff window between America and China.One bullish user on NIU’s stream said they would “buy more” of the stock, citing narrowing losses, increasing revenue and great future projections.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Scholarengineer/message/615344722</stembedurl>XPeng&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1316/1526;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XPEV_stock_YTD_chart_with_sentiment_meter_and_message_volume_as_of_May_22_png_36a6baffa9.webp" alt="XPEV stock YTD chart with sentiment meter and message volume as of May 22.png" width="1316" height="1526"><figcaption>XPEV stock YTD chart with sentiment meter and message volume as of May 22. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>XPeng’s Q1&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/xpeng-reports-upbeat-q1-earnings/ch0ed7fRbYh">revenue</a> more than doubled to 15.81 billion yuan, and losses narrowed.

Still, they noted that XPeng’s success would depend on sustained demand for its premium offerings."Looks like lots of people are trading this as opposed to investing. I'm holding anyway, the 6 month chart looks very bullish," said one bullish user on XPEV's stream.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Scholarengineer/message/615344722</stembedurl>Market Outlook&nbsp;According to a Dow Jones Newswires&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/DJN_DN20250520010889:0/">report</a>, HSBC Global Research expects China’s EV demand to remain strong in May and June, driven by new models, refreshed supply, and price discounts.&nbsp;Budget models like XPeng’s Mona 03 are gaining traction, but the firm warns that industry profits may remain under pressure due to pricing challenges.The brokerage prefers EV makers with "strong new car cycles, such as Geely and XPeng.”Wall Street Pulse<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NIU">NIU stock</a> trades at a 25% discount to the average price target of $4.53.
