Nio Inc slides as revenue misses expectations
By: Investing.com | June 9, 2023

Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) shares are down around 1.8% premarket after its first-quarter revenue missed consensus expectations.

The Chinese electric vehicle maker reported a Q1 loss of RMB2.51 ($0.36) per share, RMB0.12 better than the analyst estimate of an RMB2.63 loss per share. Revenue for the quarter came in at RMB10.68 billion versus the consensus estimate of RMB11.93B.

During the quarter, NIO delivered 31,041 vehicles. However, vehicle sales of RMB9,224.5 million decreased by 0.2% from Q1 2022 and fell 37.5% from the fourth quarter.

"In the face of the changing market environment, we will observe and analyze the dynamics of the operating environment and competition landscape promptly, and continue to strengthen our competitive advantages in an agile and efficient manner," added Steven Wei Feng, Nio's chief financial officer.

Looking forward, NIO sees Q2 deliveries between 23,000 and 25,000 vehicles, representing a decrease of approximately 8.2% to 0.2% from the same quarter of 2022.

Revenues are expected to be between RMB8,742M ($1,273M) and RMB9,370M ($1,364M), representing a decrease of approximately 15.1% to 9% from the same quarter of 2022.

Reacting to the report, Morgan Stanley analysts said the firm's guidance was better than feared.

The analysts, who have an Overweight rating and a $12 price target on the stock, stated: "2Q23 volume guidance of 23-25k units is the bright spot, surprising on the upside vs. our previous expectation of 19-21k and suggesting a notable sales upturn of 10.2-12.2k or +66%~98% MoM in June."

"2Q revenue guidance of Rmb8.7~9.4mn (down 12-18% QoQ) implied ~10% ASP hike thanks to higher ES6 sales. All eyes are on ES6 ramp-up, ET5 Touring launch and margin trajectory in the coming quarters."

Nio Inc reports May delivery results: Sales dip, new models set to drive future growth
By: Investing.com | June 1, 2023

On Thursday, Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO), a leading Chinese manufacturer of high-end smart electric vehicles, revealed its delivery figures for May 2023, reporting a total of 6,155 vehicles delivered.

Results were down 7.55% from April, which was off 35.9% from March.

Nio began delivering the new ES6 on May 24. So the model won't make much of an impact on sales for the full month, but it could drive growth in June and the second half of 2023. However, the automaker has started or will start delivering several additional and updated models soon, including a new vehicle model based on the NT2.0, ET5 Touring, a mid-size smart electric tourer which the company will begin delivering to users in June 2023.

The company’s May deliveries consisted of 2,396 premium smart electric SUVs, and 3,759 premium smart electric sedans. Cumulative deliveries of NIO vehicles reached 333,410 as of May 31, 2023.

On June 9, Nio is set to report Q1 earnings. It will likely give Q2 delivery guidance at the same time.

Shares of NIO are down 3.32% in pre-market trading on Thursday.

NIO Inc. to hold ES6 launch event Wednesday
By: Investing.com | May 23, 2023

Chinese electric automaker NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) announced Tuesday that it expects to host the all-new ES6 launch event in China on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.

The event will start at 7:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time and the live video webcast will be accessible on multiple platforms in Mandarin Chinese, including nio.cn and NIO app.

The ES6 and an ET7 sedan will be linchpins for Nio’s Electric Vehicle (EV) line for the next year. The cars are said to include a new entertainment system and augmented reality glasses.

NIO announced on May 16 that the new ES6 will be officially launched on May 24, test drives will be available on the same day and deliveries will begin on May 25. NIO stores currently have the new ES6 show cars on display, and individuals interested in the model can visit NIO Houses for a closer look, according to NIO.

This particular model holds the distinction of being NIO's fastest in terms of the time taken from its official launch to actual delivery. Other local competitors in the Chinese EV market, such as Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI), have demonstrated that efficient delivery is crucial for success in this highly competitive sector.

NIO originally introduced the first-generation ES6 in December 2018, and deliveries of the model began in China in June 2019. From 2019 to 2021, NIO delivered 155,722 vehicles, of which the ES6 contributed 80,852, or 52%.

Rival Chinese electric automaker, XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) is set to announce its financial results for the first quarter on May 24, ahead of the opening of the US markets. The earnings call is scheduled to commence at 8:00 pm Beijing time on the same day.

Shares of NIO are up 0.26% in mid-day trading on Tuesday.

By: Investing.com | May 19, 2023

Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) has made an investment in Neo Fusion, a company that is developing fusion technologies, according to a company filing.

According to a report by Reuters, citing unnamed sources with direct knowledge, Neo Fusion will research and develop technologies that aim to bring controlled fusion for commercial uses globally in two decades.

Financial details in the company’s registration filing show the nuclear fusion company has capital of CNY 5 billion ($723.37 million) and is 50% controlled by China's eastern province of Anhui government-owned energy companies and investment arms.

Nio invested CNY 995M for a 19.9% stake while Nio Capital, the investment firm founded by Nio's Chief Executive William Li, invested CNY 505M for a 10.1% share.

"Staying true to the original aspiration of Blue Sky Coming, Nio aims to facilitate the R&D and commercialization of nuclear fusion technology by making financial investment into this project," which plans to attract more strategic and financial investors in phases, Nio said in a statement on Friday.

Shares of NIO are up 1.15% in pre-market trading on Friday.

There are now more than 320,000 NIO vehicles on the road. The company says that it “continues to progress from nascent manufacturer to established OEM on sale in six countries and set to be available in up to 25 countries by 2025.”

Let’s close with one more milestone. Within those 10 billion overall kilometers drive, the company indicates than more than one billion kilometers were driven using NIO’s driver-assist features, “such as NIO Navigate On Pilot, which fuses navigation, HD maps, and NIO Pilot.”

NIO is currently selling its vehicles in 6 countries — China, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. With 2025 just a year and a half away, one has to wonder which 19 countries the company plans to add to its international network. Presumably, they are mostly European countries, but perhaps also the USA, Australia, and Canada?

Nio collaborates with NXP to leverage 4D imaging radar
By: Investing.com | May 2, 2023

Premium electric vehicle maker Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) announced alongside NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) on Tuesday that the Chinese automaker will leverage NXP’s leading automotive radar technology, including its ground-breaking imaging radar solution.

With NXP’s lates 4D imaging radar, cars will be able to detect and classify objects such as other vehicles and vulnerable road users in highway and complex urban scenarios and at distances of up to 300m, bringing more safety to the roads and driving comfort for end users.

NXP’s imaging radar technology expands radar’s capabilities from measuring range and speed, to include direction, angle of arrival, and elevation measurement. The technology is a key step in improving road safety and saving lives, it allows the car to ‘see’ a motorcycle driving close to a large delivery truck or a child entering a roadway between parked cars.

“NIO is committed to providing users with a vehicle experience that exceeds expectations. Carmakers developing high-level, assisted intelligent driving experiences is a key element of that,” said Kevin Pan, Assistant Vice President of NIO Supply Chain Development. “Together with NXP, we’ll be able to take the next step toward improving driver experiences.”

“NXP’s imaging radar technology offers high-resolution object and feature detection for precisely mapping the car’s surroundings, enabling carmakers to deliver improved ADAS and autonomous driving features,” stated Torsten Lehmann, EVP and GM, Radio Frequency Processing, NXP. “NIO’s decision to adopt NXP 4D imaging radar technology is a testament to its differentiating performance and efficiency.”

Bear of the Day: NIO (NIO)
By: Zacks Investment Research | April 21, 2023

NIO (NIO) is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells smart electric vehicles in China.

The stock had a big run back in 2020, but NIO has since lost all gains since the EV bull run started. Investors are at a loss as earnings continue to underperform and analysts’ lower estimates.

About the Company

The Shanghai based company was founded in 2014 and is considered the Tesla of China. NIO offers five, six, and seven-seater electric SUVs, as well as smart electric sedans. The company also is also involved in the provision of energy and service packages to its users.

NIO isvalued at $14.7 Billion and holds Zacks Style Scores of “F” in Growth, “D” in Value, but “B” in Momentum. The stock pays no dividend.

Q4 Earnings

NIO released Q4 earnings in early March seeing EPS at -$0.44 vs the -$0.16 expected. While sales were up to $2.33B from the $1.55B last year, the EPS missed brought selling into the stock.

The big issue was a contraction in margins that came in at 3.9%, down from the 17.2% the year prior. NIO blamed the contraction to accelerated depreciation, and losses on purchase commitments for the existing ES8, ES6 and EC6 amid the transition to new models under the NIO Technology Platform 2.0.

Estimates

Since earnings, analysis have been cutting their numbers aggressively for the current year. Over the last 90 days, we have seen numbers fall from -$0.51 top -$1.36.

Looking at next year, things don’t get much better. 90 days ago, estimates were expected to come in at a gain of 6 cents. But now, a loss of 47 cents is expected.

Considering the Tesla earnings report coming up short, investors might want to take extreme caution as we head into NIO earnings.

Technical Take

In early 2020, NIO was just a $3 stock that had a dream. When EV got hot, this dream was realized as the stock ran all the way to $66. From there, the stock became very volatile in 2021 and started to bleed lower in 2022.

The collapse continues as the stock recently hit lows not seen since July of 2022.

For those interested in moving averages, the 50-day is at $9.40 and the 200-day is at $13.50. These will likely become areas of resistance if the stock manages to rally.

Summary

NIO was a former EV highflyer that continues to bleed lower. The estimates are showing no relief coming anytime soon, so investors should shy away from the name.

For those interested in the sector, a better option might be Byd (BYDDY). The stock is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), and is trading up 15% on the year.

[Rosym]

Nio already offers a unique EV charging option giving customers the ability to exchange a fully charged battery into the vehicle in just a few minutes via its battery swap stations. Citing an article published by the European Nio app, CnEVPost said today that Nio owners can now connect their vehicles to the Tibber app.

That will allow drivers to track energy use and monitor energy prices to better plan and schedule charging around electricity prices -- for charging at home or with traditional charging stations. Nio's power segment offers Power Home charging equipment. The new partnership will allow smart-charging with Tibber on the home charging boxes that will automatically charge vehicles during times with the lowest electricity prices.

The news comes as investors await the latest delivery data from Nio, which will be released over this upcoming weekend. Nio has previously projected first-quarter deliveries of between 31,000 and 33,000 vehicles. That's a sharp drop from the more than 40,000 EVs it shipped in the prior quarterly period.

Barclays cuts Nio to equal weight as losses mount
By: Investing.com | March 2, 2023

Barclays downgraded Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) to an Equal Weight rating (from Overweight) and cut the price target on the stock to $10.00 (from $18.00) following the electric vehicle maker’s 4Q earnings report.

NIO reported total 4Q revenue of RMB 16.1 billion (RMB 1 = $0.14). Up 62.2% yoy, but 10.2% lower than Barclay’s estimate. Vehicle sales revenue was RMB 14.8B, 12.1% lower than estimated, due to lower-than-expected vehicle deliveries during the quarter. NIO delivered 40,052 units in 4Q22, only slightly above the lowered management deliveries guidance of 38,500 to 39,500 units (originally 43k to 48k).

The company reported gross profit of RMB 621.8 million, 76.6% lower than estimates, with a gross margin of 3.9%, 11 percentage points lower than expected. During the quarter, gross profit/margin was negatively impacted by recognition of inventory provisions, accelerated depreciation on production facilities, and losses on purchase commitments for the existing generation of ES8, ES6, and EC6, as NIO enters into a product upgrade cycle.

Analysts wrote in a note, “4Q revenue was as anticipated since vehicle deliveries had previously been announced. But much higher-than-expected opex and lower-than-expected gross margins were surprises. While lower-than-expected GM was partially attributed to inventory write-offs or cancellation of purchase commitments for parts for the older and now phased-out models, the miss reflects the challenges NIO is still facing in optimizing its industrial planning and operations. With several new models to be launched this year (success of these new models is not guaranteed of course), roll out of a potential new sub brand, aggressive expansion in the European markets, and continued build out of battery swapping stations (adding 1,000 new stations in China plus more overseas) in 2023, we don’t believe the large spending at NIO will slow down anytime soon. With heightened risks from such spending and uncertain fate of newer models, as well as intensified competition in China’s EV industry in general, we are stepping aside while waiting for more clarity on transition progress.”

Shares of NIO are down 3.62% in pre-market trading on Thursday.

NIO stock swings lower after reporting losses that were much wider than expected
By: Morningstar | March 2, 2023

XPeng stock also reversed lower after the EV maker reported February deliveries that fell from a year ago, while Li Auto shares rallied

Shares of NIO Inc. reversed course to trade sharply lower Wednesday, after a much-wider-than-expected loss and revenue that fell well short of forecasts overshadowed investor optimism over the outlook for shares of other China-based companies.

Meanwhile, shares of rival electric vehicle makers XPeng Inc. (XPEV) also reversed lower after delivery data, but Li Auto Inc. shares (LI) gained ground as China's stock markets surged following strong economic data and after Hong Kong lifted its mask mandate.

NIO's stock (NIO) had traded up about 7% in Wednesday's premarket, just after the electric vehicle maker reported results, but ended down 6.0% at $8.82, the lowest close since July 1, 2020.

The company reported very early Wednesday a fourth-quarter net loss that more than doubled to RMB6.00 billion ($861.9 million), or RMB3.55 per American depositary share (ADS), from RMB2.22 billion, or RMB1.36 per ADS in the year-ago period.

Excluding nonrecurring items, the adjusted loss per ADS of RMB3.07 was wider than the FactSet loss consensus of RMB1.83.

Vehicle margin contracted sharply to 6.8% from 16.4%, due in part to inventory provisions, accelerated depreciation of production facilities and losses on purchase commitments for existing ES8, ES6 and EC6 models.

Deliveries jumped 60% from a year ago to 40,052 EVs, consisting of 20,824 electric sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and 19,228 electric sedans.

For the first quarter, NIO expects revenue of between RMB10.93 billion and RMB11.54 billion, below the current FactSet consensus of RMB17.38 billion, and deliveries of between 31,000 and 33,000 EVs, up 20.3% to 28.1% from a year ago.

"2022 was a year of decisive investments and accelerated global market entry for NIO," said Chief Financial Officer Steven Wei Feng. "In 2023, we will focus on improving our execution efficiency, and work in an agile and efficient mode to embrace the competition in the global electric vehicle market in the long run."

Meanwhile, XPeng's stock closed down 0.7% at $8.86, to erase an intraday gain of as much as 3.7%. The company said it delivered 6,010 EVs in February, up 15% from January, but down 3.5% from a year ago. The company is slated to reveal fourth-quarter results on March 17.

And Li Auto shares climbed 3.8% to $24.51, paring an intraday gain of 6.2%, after the company reported February deliveries of 16,620 vehicles, up 9.8% from January and 97.5% more than it delivered a year ago.

Earlier this week, Li Auto reported profit that beat expectations but revenue that missed.

Over the past three months, NIO shares have tumbled 32.8% and XPeng shares shed 22.6%, while Li Auto's stock has hiked up 7.6%. In comparison, U.S.-based rival Tesla Inc.'s stock (TSLA) has gained 4.1%, the iShares MSCI China exchange-traded fund (MCHI) has advanced 4.1% and the S&P 500 index has lost 3.0%.

Earnings Preview: Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | February 27, 2023

• Here is a look at what to expect when the following three companies report results before Wednesday’s opening bell.

Nio

Shares of China-based electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) have lost about 55% from their price over the past 12 months. Worse, perhaps, is a dip of about 3.7% since the beginning of the year. The company is reportedly building a battery plant that is said to be large enough to supply enough long-range batteries to supply 400,000 vehicles annually. Nio delivered almost 123,000 vehicles last year, an increase of more than a third year over year. That is why the company’s guidance will be so important: When will it build enough cars to soak up its capacity to build all those batteries?

There are 29 analyst ratings on Nio’s stock, and 24 are Buy or Strong Buy. At a price of around $9.40 a share, the upside potential based on a median price target of $16.48 is around 75.3%. At the high target of $28.09 the upside potential is nearly 200%.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the consensus estimates call for revenue of $2.56 billion, up nearly 40% sequentially and by 64.1% year over year.
