Xiaomi (SEHK:1810) just became a much bigger crypto gateway, thanks to a new alliance with Sei that will integrate a next generation wallet and Web3 app directly into upcoming Xiaomi smartphones globally.
See our latest analysis for Xiaomi.
Even before this Sei tie up, Xiaomi had been winning back market confidence, with the share price at HK$42.96 after a strong year to date share price return and a powerful multi year total shareholder return that signals momentum is still very much with the stock.
If this kind of strategic crypto push has your attention, it might be worth seeing what other high growth tech names are doing, starting with high growth tech and AI stocks .
With Xiaomi trading at a discount to analyst targets despite strong multi year returns and double digit growth, investors now have to ask: is this crypto powered pivot a fresh buying opportunity, or already fully priced in?
Most Popular Narrative: 25.9% Undervalued
Compared to Xiaomi's last close at HK$42.96, the most followed narrative sees fair value materially higher, setting up an ambitious growth story.
The company's successful push into premiumization, evidenced by growing sales of high-end smartphones, appliances, and electric vehicles, along with the launch of proprietary 3nm chips and advanced AI features, supports higher average selling prices and improves net margins as Xiaomi captures greater value per customer.
Curious how this premium push translates into future profits and a rich earnings multiple, even after discounting back using a set return hurdle? The narrative lays out bold revenue expansion, margin uplift and a surprisingly confident view on how much investors will still pay for Xiaomi's earnings in a few years time. Want to see the exact growth path that has to materialise for today's apparent discount to make sense?
Result: Fair Value of $57.99606 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, slowing smartphone and IoT growth, alongside fierce EV competition and rising component costs, could cap margins and undermine the premium-driven upside case.

Another Take on Valuation
On earnings, the picture looks tighter. Xiaomi trades on a 22.9x price to earnings ratio, richer than both peers at 17.4x and a fair ratio of 20.5x. That premium can vanish quickly if growth disappoints. Is the crypto and premium story strong enough to defend it?
