Emir BardakçıIn an unexpected move that has drawn attention from tech investors globally, Xiaomi Group has officially rescheduled its eagerly awaited 2025 Investor Day to June 3, 2025, based on an announcement email sent by an influential tech blogger. The high-profile company event generally generates strong investors’ interest since it offers infrequent one-on-one access to Xiaomi’s leading executives and gives insight into the company’s strategic direction and future product roadmap.
New Date and Improved Program
While the initial timeline has been adjusted, the renewed Investor Day clearly presents more value to participants. The official statement verifies that Xiaomi’s top management and department heads will be there to provide in-depth reports on company strategy and current business developments.
One particularly significant addition to the program is that investors who come to the event will receive special invitations to visit Xiaomi’s car manufacturing plants. The visit to the factory is one major chance the investors will have to see and experience Xiaomi’s aggressive push into the electric car segment first-hand and make informed decisions on making investments in this new vertical.
Reasons Behind the Delay
The official statement by Xiaomi has not mentioned any reason for rescheduling the Investor Day in particular. Although this has naturally led to some speculation on the part of industry analysts, the company’s strong financial performance indicates that the delay is not going to be on account of financial issues.
The timing of the new date could coincide with significant product launches or strategic company developments to be presented to the investment community by Xiaomi. More preparation on the automotive facility tour could be made with the extra time so that this important new line of business is presented with polish.
Record Financial Performance
Even with the delay, Xiaomi’s financials are incredibly healthy. Record revenue in 2024 came in at RMB 365.91 billion ($56.29 billion), marking an outperformance against analyst expectations of RMB 358.05 billion ($55.08 billion). It amounts to an impressive 35.0% year-on-year growth. Net profit in 2024 came in at RMB 23.66 billion ($3.64 billion), above market expectations of RMB 19.76 billion ($3.04 billion). Xiaomi’s founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun has described these figures as “the strongest annual report in Xiaomi history.”
