Nio Stock Is Jumping. It’s Not Just About a New Car
By: Barron's | June 14, 2022
Nio stock was soaring after the Chinese electric-vehicle maker announced a new car. The big move, however, may have more to do with hopes for the Chinese economy than any individual car.
Nio stock has gained 19% to $18.97 at 1:28 p.m. on Tuesday ahead of a launch event on Wednesday. The company is expected to reveal its much-anticipated ES7 SUV—it teased a video of something—and the hope is that it will help drive new sales through 2022.
But Nio is also benefiting from what looks to be a reassessment of Chinese stocks by investors. While the S&P 500 has fallen 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is off 0.5%, the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) has gained 3.1%. That’s helped boost not only Nio, but Li Auto, which is up 12%, XPeng (XPEV), which has risen 7.8%, and Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA), which is up 6.7%.
What’s brought Chinese stocks, which have gotten pummeled, back into favor, at least for one day. After another series of near-total Covid-19 lockdowns, the economy has started to reopen, while policy makers are starting to take steps to ease monetary conditions at a time when the U.S. Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates by the most since the 1990s.
Money has to go somewhere, and as investors start to fear what’s to come in the U.S., they’re looking to China as a potentially safer haven for their cash.
And that’s a scary thought in and of itself.

NIO Stock Falls After Earnings - Where Will It Go From Here?
By: The Tokenist | June 10, 2022
• Nio stock price is trading over 40% lower year-to-end and almost 60% down in the past 12 months
• Tighter financial conditions bearing a significant impact on high-growth stocks, the risks to US delisting, and supply chain headwinds are the key factors behind Nio's bearish rout
• It is now unlikely that shares will turn higher in the short run
Nio Reports Bigger-than-expected Loss
This week, Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) reported a loss of 1.8 billion yuan for the first quarter of 2022, down 62.6% from the year-ago period. However, the Chinese electric automaker said revenue rose 24.2% year-over-year to 9.9 billion yuan, driven by stronger electric vehicle (EV) sales.
The company reported a new record high of 25,768 EV deliveries in the first three months of the year, up 28.5% from the same period last year. Nio said it generated 9.2 billion yuan from vehicle sales in the quarter, up 24.8% year-over-year, though vehicle margin fell to 18.1% from 21.2% in the year-ago quarter on higher costs.
The Shanghai-based electric vehicle maker said R&D expenses surged by 156.6% from the year-ago period to 1.8 billion yuan due to higher staff and incremental design and development costs for its latest offerings.
Nio reported a 68.3% jump in selling, general and administrative expenses to 2 billion yuan. The EV company reported a basic and diluted net loss per share of 1.12 yuan, down from 3.14 yuan in the year-ago quarter and compared to 1.36 yuan per share in the fourth quarter of last year.
While supply chain constraints and new waves of coronavirus infections weighed on China-based operations, Nio said it registered strong demand for its complementary products, and saw an all-time high of order inflows in May, said the company's founder, chairman, and CEO William Li.
Nio's CFO Steven Wei said the company's listing in Singapore last month reinforced its position in the global financial markets and added that the carmaker has been cooperating with its supply chain partners to ramp up production capacity and vehicle delivery.
"While making decisive investments in new products, technologies and businesses, we strive to continuously optimize our cost structure, improve operating efficiency and create long-term value for our shareholders."
Moving forward, Nio expects its vehicle deliveries for Q2 to be in the range of 23,000 to 25,000 and anticipates Q2 revenue to range from 9.3 billion to 10.1 billion yuan.
Has Delisting Been De-risked?
The EV company recently listed its shares in Singapore, marking the third stock exchange with live trading after listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Hong Kong.
The carmaker's decision to make a third listing comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warned that numerous U.S.-listed Chinese companies face a delisting risk from U.S. exchanges.
During his reign, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed a bill that asked foreign companies that want to list their shares in the U.S. to adhere to stricter auditing standards, and those who fail to comply could be delisted.
The bill raised concerns among many major U.S.-listed Chinese companies, including Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), and JD.com (NASDAQ:JD), among others, which then opted for secondary listings to reduce the delisting risks.
Most of those companies carried out their secondary listings in Hong Kong, including Nio. This way, Nio mitigated the risk of being forced out of NYSE. However, its decision to carry out the third listing in Singapore is not a move commonly seen among its peers.
Shares of its competitors Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) are also listed in Hong Kong after their so-called dual primary listings.
New Expansion and Battery Plans
Nio will start producing self-developed high-voltage battery packs in the latter half of 2024, Nio's CEO William Li told analysts this week.
In an attempt to rival its biggest competitor, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Nio has already hired 400 employees to research and develop battery technologies, with a plan to have both self-produced and externally sourced batteries.
Unlike Tesla, which uses 400-volt batteries, Nio will produce 800-volt lithium-ion battery packs with an advantage of a faster recharge. Li added that new battery packs will be available for sale in the latter half of 2024, presumably for a price of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Media reports also circulated that Nio has advanced plans for expansion on U.S. soil. The EV company has reportedly started the recruitment process for production facilities in the U.S. which will be used for either complete knock down (CKD) or semi-knock down (SKD) assembly methods. This includes shipping manufactured and/or semi-assembled components for assembly in another country.
The move would represent a continuation of Nio's ambitions to provide services in 25 countries and regions by 2025, including Western Europe, Australia, and the U.S.
The new report correlates with a report from January, saying that Nio had signed a ten-year lease in San Jose, which will be used as the EV company's local headquarters.
Nio is looking for park planning experts, planning and infrastructure experts, body craft experts, and overseas logistics project managers for its US-based manufacturing-related positions.
Summary
Nio investors received another blow as shares fell over 7% on the Q1 earnings report. Shares of the EV company were already down sharply in a more challenging macro environment in 2022. It is now unlikely that shares will turn higher as long as the company faces supply chain management troubles and macro headwinds.

NIO Falls As Margins Decline
By: Vladimir Zernov | June 9, 2022
Key Insights
• NIO released its first-quarter report, beating analyst estimates on both earnings and revenue.
• Traders focused on falling margins and deliveries guidance for the next quarter.
• The market remains worried about China’s zero-COVID policy which increases risks of lockdowns in Shanghai.
NIO Retreats After Q1 2022 Report
Shares of NIO found themselves under strong pressure after the company released its first-quarter results.
The company reported revenue of $1.56 billion and an adjusted loss of $0.13 per share, beating analyst estimates on both earnings and revenue.
In the first quarter, NIO delivered 25,768 vehicles compared to 25,034 vehicles in Q4 2021. Vehicle margin declined from 20.9% in Q4 2021 to 18.1% in Q1 2022. Gross margin has also declined from 17.2% to 14.6%.
In the second quarter of this year, NIO expects to deliver between 23,000 and 25,000 vehicels. Total revenues are expected to be in the $1.47 billion – $1.59 billion range.
The market focused on falling margins and modest guidance, which was bearish for NIO stock. In addition, it looks that traders remain worried about the possibility of more lockdowns in Shanghai.
What’s Next For NIO Stock?
Analysts expect that NIO will report a loss of $0.54 per share in the current year and a loss of $0.11 per share in the next year. Analyst estimates have been moving lower in recent months, which is not surprising given the negative impact of lockdowns in China.
In recent weeks, NIO stock managed to move away from yearly lows amid a broad rebound in Chinese stocks. It should be noted that NIO stock is down by more than 70% from the highs that were reached back in 2021, so some speculative traders may see this major pullback as a buying opportunity.
In the near term, NIO stock will remain sensitive to news about the situation with coronavirus in China. The company’s second-quarter guidance already looks bleak, and another lockdown will further hurt margins and deliveries.

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%.

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.

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%.
