<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Breaking Down Prosperity Bancshares: 9 Analysts Share Their Views

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-ev-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese electric vehicle stocks</a>, including NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), and ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZK#NYSE">ZK</a>), are trading upwards Thursday amid reports indicating that EV sales will likely surpass traditional cars in China for the first time in 2025 beating Europe, the U.S. and Japan.
China will likely sell over 12 million cars in 2025 versus 5.9 million in 2022, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f12db2a1-a221-47f0-8d3e-723a8b49f97c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> estimates from investment banks and research groups estimates.

Meanwhile, sales of traditional cars will likely decline to below 11 million in 2025 from 14.8 million in 2022, Sri Lanka Guardian <a target="_blank" href="https://slguardian.org/chinas-ev-sales-to-overtake-traditional-cars-sooner-than-expected/" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> the FT.
China&#8217;s EV sales trajectory bears testimony to its progress in domestic technology and ability to secure a global supply chain for lithium and cobalt. Additionally, the scale of China&#8217;s manufacturing abilities has rendered EVs a more affordable option for consumers, Sri Lanka Guardian cites Robert Liew of Wood Mackenzie. He expects China to accomplish its target of EVs accounting for 50% of car sales by 2035, ten years ahead of schedule.
Per the FT report, Industry forecasts indicate that Chinese factories producing traditional engine cars will face an almost nonexistent domestic market within a decade as rising protectionism and uncertainty over government subsidies challenge Western carmakers.
Yuqian Ding of HSBC told the FT that China&#8217;s EV juggernaut is indomitable despite a slowdown in growth from a very high base due to oversupply, competition, and a price war.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42671739/chinese-stocks-surge-on-stimulus-plans-to-counter-us-tariff-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Earlier this week</a>, reports indicated China ramping up stimulus to shield from potential U.S. tariffs. The country is eying &nbsp;3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) in special treasury bonds in 2025, compared to 2024&#8217;s 1 trillion yuan, to drive consumption through subsidy programs, equipment upgrades, and investments in advanced sectors.
Price Actions: At the last check on Thursday, NIO is up 2.06% at $4.715. LI is up 3.86%, XPEV is up 3.12%, and ZK is up 8.48%.
