NIO Is Nearly Bankrupt:

Earnings Preview: Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | June 7, 2022

• Here is a look at four companies scheduled to release quarterly results late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Nio

China-based electric vehicle maker (EV) Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) has dropped about 54% from its share price over the past 12 months. Since dipping to a 52-week low in mid-May, the stock has added 46%. Nio is expected to report results before markets open on Thursday.

Barron’s reported three reasons for the recent share price increase: first, the company is reportedly looking to hire U.S. talent and that could lead to sales and perhaps production in this country. Second, China’s government has instituted a tax break for people who buy new cars by the end of the year. Third, Shanghai will subsidize EV purchases to the tune of $1,500 until the end of the year.

There are 26 analyst ratings on Nio’s stock, and all but two are Buy or Strong Buy ratings. At a share price of around $19.20, the upside potential based on a median price target of $32.53 is about 69%. At the high target of $83.23, the upside potential is 333%.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the consensus estimates call for revenue of $1.48 billion, down 5.1% sequentially but 21.3% higher year over year. Nio is expected to post an adjusted loss per share of $0.16, better than the $0.17 per-share loss in the prior quarter and worse than the year-ago loss of $0.03 per share. For the full year, the company is expected to report a per-share loss of $0.50, worse than the $0.30 loss in 2021, on sales of $9.41 billion, up about 65.5%.

Analysts estimate that Nio will trade at 84.7 times earnings in 2024. Until then, it is not expected to post a profit. The enterprise value-to-sales multiple is expected to be 2.9 in 2022 and 1.7 in 2023. The stock’s 52-week range is $11.67 to $55.13. The company does not pay a dividend, and the total shareholder return for the past year is negative 54.3%.

Nio Stock Surges Amid Easing Covid-19 Restrictions
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | May 31, 2022

• As a result, Morgan Stanley called the electric vehicle maker a research tactical idea

• Year-over-year, NIO remains down roughly 55%

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is up 3.1% to trade $17.09 this morning, as Shanghai looks to reopen its economy after Covid-19 curbs with a stimulus package that will encourage developments in cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technologies. As a result, Morgan Stanley called NIO a research tactical idea, predicting a rebound for the equity as it benefits from such stimulus programs and resumes sales.

Analysts are bullish towards Nio stock, with seven of the eight in question calling it a "buy" or better, while the 12-month consensus target price of $41.55 is a lofty 137.8% premium to current levels. Meanwhile, the 78.40 million shares sold short make up 5.1% of the equity's available float.

Short-term options traders are also optimistic. This is per NIO's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 0.54, which sits higher than only 2% of readings from the past 12 months. In simpler terms, these traders have rarely been more call-biased.

Nio stock has struggled so far in 2022, but the equity is today pacing for a second-straight close above its 30-day moving average, and fourth consecutive daily win. What's more, the shares are testing resistance at the $18 region, which has been capping the security since April. Year-over-year, NIO remains down 54.9%.

The Shanghai municipal government on May 29 unveiled (in Chinese) 50 stimulus measures, which included giving out 40,000 new car plates and handing out cash incentives for gas car owners trading in for EVs.
Consumers will also receive rebates of RMB 10,000 ($1,503) per car for any trade-in of gasoline vehicles for new electric vehicles (EVs) for the rest of the year, as stated on the notice of the municipal government’s official WeChat account.
Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of the China Passenger Car Association, on Monday told Jiemian News (in Chinese) that he expects Shanghai’s stimulus package to increase sales of passenger vehicles by around 150,000 units, of which two-thirds could be new energy vehicles, which includes all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
On Monday, a Nio spokesperson told Chinese media The Paper on Monday that the company expects the stimulus measures to accelerate EV adoption, adding that orders for its models in the city have increased “significantly” in May (our translation).
A number of local authorities also released similar cash subsidies for people to buy cars. Shenzhen on Thursday announced (in Chinese) plans to lift its limits on the number of new vehicles allowed on the city’s roads by allocating 20,000 new license plates to quotas and providing incentives of up to RMB 20,000 for new car purchases.
Both the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou and Shenyang, the capital city of the northeastern Liaoning province, announced new voucher programs of RMB 100 million to boost vehicle buying earlier this month. Meanwhile, car buyers in the central city of Wuhan could receive a subsidy of RMB 8,000 or RMB 3,000 for each trade-in of new energy vehicles or combustion engine vehicles, respectively.
Context: China’s central government has pledged to strengthen the current state subsidy to EV makers to encourage auto sales, as the latest wave of Covid-19 cases has disrupted auto parts supply chains and forced carmakers to drop their outlooks for the year.
During a State Council executive meeting on May 23, Beijing unveiled dozens of new stimulus measures, including cutting car purchase taxes by RMB 60 billion, in the hope of helping the industry withstand the impact of the pandemic, SCMP reported.
China’s auto sales dropped by nearly half to 1.18 million units in April compared to the same time a year earlier, according to official figures. Major automakers such as Tesla were hit hard by supply-chain constraints and a month-long production shutdown.
Local EV upstarts Xpeng and Li Auto earlier this month issued a gloomy outlook for the second quarter of this year, after reporting record declines in vehicle deliveries for April.

Rumors have been floating around for months that Nio is looking to set up a manufacturing location in the United States, but today is not the day we get official confirmation. We instead came across some information that indirectly confirms it, this time straight from China, claiming that Nio is already hiring people for manufacturing-related jobs in the US, even though it has not officially announced building the facility.

According to Yicai, Nio (known in China by its company name, Wei Lai) is not only hiring people for manufacturing-related jobs, but is also looking to build a factory in the United States. We don’t yet know if it will purchase an already existing plant and repurpose it or build one from scratch in a new location.

NIO Shares Pop After BofA Upgrade to Buy on 'Attractive' Valuation
By: Investing.com | May 16, 2022

Shares of Nio (NYSE:NIO) are trading 4% higher today after Bank of America analyst Ming Hsun Lee upgraded to Buy from Neutral with a $26.00 per share price target, up from $25.00.

Improving sales, better margins expected in the second half of the year, and attractive valuations are the 3 key reasons that pushed Lee to upgrade Nio shares to Buy.

“ET7 shipment began in March; ES7 is expected to launch in June and start delivery in Aug (slightly ahead of our previous expectation); ET5 is scheduled to be delivered in Sep; facelifts of ES6, ES8 and EC6 will be available in 2H22. ES8/ES6/EC6 waiting time is 10 weeks and ET7 6 months, showing ample orders on hand,” Lee said in a client note.

On valuation, the analyst notes that NIO is trading at 1.7x 1-year forward EV/sales, which is below its historical average.

“This seems attractive given the improving outlook – NIO traded at a similar valuation only during 2H19-1Q20 when it faced sales slowdown, product recalls and financing challenges, while its current fundamental is stronger in terms of brand equity, sales growth, R&D capability, and improved cash flow. Factoring in the latest model schedule and production recovery pace, we lift 2022/23E sales volume by 3%/8%,” Lee concluded.

Not a Single Car Was Sold in Shanghai Last Month
Posted On : 16 May 2022 Published By : Tom Whipple
For evidence of just how tight Shanghai’s lockdown has been, consider this: not a single car was sold in the city last month. The majority of the city’s 25 million residents were mostly confined to their homes or residential compounds in April as part of a sweeping lockdown to stamp out the nation’s worst Covid outbreak since the virus emerged in Wuhan more than two years ago. Almost all dealerships in the city were closed during the month, the Shanghai Automobile Sales Association said in a statement Monday, when it highlighted the zero sales figure. In April last year, 26,311 vehicles were sold in the city, according to the association, which represents about 300 companies. Nationwide, car sales fell the most in two years in April, down almost 36 % from a year earlier

Have you looked onto the battery replacement system they have in the works? Supposedly, if you pay a premium of 10k I think, instead of waiting to charge at a power spot, they will have like a carwash area where you pull in and some fancy little robots change your battery in under 5 mins for a full one. That's what has me interested

Earnings Previews: Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | May 11, 2022

• Here is a look at three more companies set to report results after Thursday’s close.

Nio

Shares of China-based electric vehicle maker Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) have plunged by nearly 64% over the past 12 months. From a 52-week high posted in late June, the stock is down by 75%. The company delivered nearly 26,000 vehicles in the first quarter.

Nio also has been identified as one of more than 80 China-based companies that may be kicked off U.S. stock exchanges for failing to meet recently enacted federal accounting requirements. The company completed a secondary listing in Singapore on Tuesday. The company has until May 25 to dispute the federal listing that could get the stock delisted.

There are 25 analyst ratings on Nio’s stock, and 22 of those are Buy or Strong Buy ratings. At a share price of around $13.50, the upside potential based on a median price target of $32.16 is about 138%. At the high target of $82.29, the upside potential is 510%.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the consensus estimates call for revenue of $1.46 billion, down 6% sequentially and up 19.7% year over year. Nio is expected to post an adjusted loss per share of $0.17, flat sequentially, and worse than the year-ago loss of $0.04 per share. For the full year, the company is expected to report a per-share loss of $0.50, worse than the $0.30 loss last year, on sales of $9.37 billion, up about 65%.
Analysts estimate that Nio will trade at 59.8 times earnings in 2024. Until then, the company is not expected to post a profit. The enterprise value-to-sales multiple is expected to be 1.9 in 2022 and 1.1 in 2023. The stock’s 52-week range is $12.86 to $55.13, and the low was posted Tuesday. The company does not pay a dividend. Total shareholder return for the past year is negative 60.9%.

JPMorgan Reflects on Nio's Decision to List Shares in Singapore
By: Investing.com | May 6, 2022

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) company Nio (NYSE:NIO) announced this morning that it is planning for a secondary listing in Singapore, two months after listing its shares in Hong Kong.

This way, Singapore will become the third exchange that offers Nio’s shares, after New York and Hong Kong. The move didn’t surprise investors given that US-listed Chinese companies are facing potential delisting from US exchanges.

JPMorgan analyst Nick Lai expects a “limited fundamental impact on Nio’s operations in the near term” from the company’s decision.

“This, in our view, in a similar move to that in March when Nio had a secondary offering on the HKSE and the shares trading on the HKSE are fully fungible with ADRs in the US. The move to list in Singapore provides an alternative venue for future capital raising if needed in our view. Strategically, as Nio gradually expands its footprint to international markets (thus far, Europe), the company believes Singapore will also be an important regional hub considering its robust international financial system,” Lai told clients in a note.

The analyst reiterated his stance of preferring OEMs with vertically integrated business models, like BYD (OTC:BYDDY)) and Guangzhou Auto (HK:2238).

NIO is aware that the Company has been provisionally identified by the SEC under the HFCAA on May 4, 2022 U.S. Eastern Time. The Company understands such identification may result from its filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

NIO understands the SEC made such identification pursuant to the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder, and this indicates that the SEC determines that the Company used an auditor whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely by the PCAOB, to issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

In accordance with the HFCAA, if the SEC determines that the Company filed an annual report containing an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection for the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit the shares or American depositary shares of the Company from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.

NIO has been actively exploring possible solutions to protect the interest of its stakeholders. On March 10, 2022, the Company completed a secondary listing of its Class A ordinary shares on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “HKEX”) under the stock code “9866.” The Class A ordinary shares listed on the HKEX are fully fungible with the ADSs listed on the NYSE.

NIO will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations in both China and the United States, and strive to maintain its listing status on both the NYSE and the HKEX in compliance with applicable listing rules.

Why Nio and Chinese Tech Stocks Jumped Today
By: Motley Fool | April 27, 2022

• Today's move comes after sharp declines over the last several weeks.

What happened

U.S.- listed Chinese stocks have been taking a beating in recent months. The reasons behind the downtrend include political and regulatory fears, supply chain and raw material cost headwinds, and lockdowns in several cities to try to slow a new COVID-19 outbreak.

That sentiment reversed today, however. Chinese stocks including EV makers Nio (NIO 3.45%) and XPeng (XPEV 5.20%), as well as trucking technology platform Full Truck Alliance (YMM 3.11%), were all higher as of 11:34 a.m. ET:

• Nio was up 2.4%.
• XPeng was up 5.5%.
• Full Truck Alliance was up 4.4%.

So what

The jumps in these international stocks are in line with the broader Chinese market today. The Shanghai Composite index soared 2.5% today. And the moves come with Nio shares down 25% over the last three months. In that same period, XPeng and Full Truck Alliance shares have dropped 35%. Today's jump is more a response to macro issues than company-specific news.

Now what

But Nio did announce a milestone for its business yesterday. The company marked the production of its 200,000th electric vehicle since it began operations in 2018. It's notable that almost half that total was produced just last year. Vehicle production has accelerated for both Nio and XPeng as demand remains strong in China. XPeng also delivered nearly 100,000 vehicles in 2021, an increase of 263% over 2020 levels. Nio's deliveries rose 109% year over year in 2021.

While not an EV manufacturer, Full Truck Alliance is a supplier to the Chinese transportation and freight industry. In its recent fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 conference call, founder and CEO Hui Zhang called the company a "low carbon logistics service provider," signaling its focus on the EV sector.

In the short term, shares of these names can move based on macro events. Those swings can go in both directions, as today's market action is showing. Ultimately, though, these companies will only prove themselves as worthy investments if the underlying businesses succeed, and there looks to be a long runway ahead for China's EV industry.
