Xiaomi Sets Paris Launch for 18 Pro Range as CPCA Refines October Delivery Tally

Xiaomi will take its flagship hardware on the road next week, with a Paris event on 17 November lined up to introduce the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max to international buyers. The handset duo headlines a broader product push that also brings the Xiaomi Watch S5 41 mm, the Smart Band 11, the Xiaomi Clip TWS earbuds and a slate of Mijia-branded home appliances to overseas shelves.

Investors greeted the announcement with modest buying. The stock finished the session up 0.9%, extending a run that has tracked the company's twin growth engines of consumer electronics and electric vehicles.

CPCA Sharpens the October Auto Number

On the automotive side, the China Passenger Car Association supplied a precise figure on Monday for last month's volume. Xiaomi Auto delivered 50,168 vehicles at the wholesale level in October, while retail sales came in at 50,123 units — both tallies sourced from the CPCA. The company itself had said only that it shipped more than 50,000 cars in its 1 November update, without pinning down an exact number. By Xiaomi's own account, October marked its strongest delivery month of the year.

Buyback and a Board Date to Watch

Alongside the product and sales news, Xiaomi repurchased 1.67 million of its own shares for a total of HK$49.9 million. A further 144,000 shares were issued or transferred out of treasury to cover share awards and options.

Attention now turns to 24 November, when the board is scheduled to review and approve the unaudited consolidated results for the third quarter and the first nine months through 30 September 2026. That sign-off has yet to take place, leaving both the quarterly performance and the longer nine-month trajectory under wraps until then.
