Nio Inc. (NIO) Stock Facing Major Challenges Right Now
By: Stock News | August 1, 2022
The electric vehicle (EV) market has faced several headwinds, including high inflation, semiconductor chip shortage, and persisting supply chain disruptions. These factors have affected the production of companies in this space, making it difficult for them to meet the pent-up demand.
Although vehicle orders have surged to unexpected heights, the shortage of automotive semiconductors and other parts forces auto manufacturers to cut production levels.
Moreover, consumers’ concern about the upfront cost of EVs, lack of enough charging infrastructure, and long charging hours on a road trip have been weighing down the industry’s growth prospects.
Due to these challenges, we think it could be wise to avoid fundamentally weak EV stocks NIO Inc. (NIO) and Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID).
NIO Inc. (NIO)
Headquartered in Shanghai, China, NIO is a pioneer and leading high-end smart electric vehicles manufacturer. It provides power solutions, battery swapping services, rapid charging, vehicle internet assistance, and extended lifetime warranties. Dubbed the “Tesla of China,” NIO is a leading EV manufacturer globally.
For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, NIO’s gross profit decreased 6.9% year-over-year to RMB1.45 billion ($214.97 million). Its adjusted loss from operations widened 760.4% year-over-year to RMB1.71 billion ($253.51 million), while its non-GAAP net loss came in at RMB1.31 billion ($194.21 million), up 269.3% from the prior-year quarter. In addition, its non-GAAP loss per share widened 243.5% year-over-year to RMB0.79.
Analysts expect NIO’s earnings per share to remain negative in fiscal 2022. Shares of NIO have declined 49.9% over the past nine months and 53.7% over the past year to close the last trading session at $19.73.
NIO’s POWR Ratings reflect this bleak outlook. The stock has an overall F rating, equating to a Strong Sell in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
It has an F grade for Growth and a D for Value, Stability, and Quality. It is ranked #51 of 65 stocks in the D-rated Auto & Vehicle Manufacturers industry. Click here to see additional ratings (Momentum and Sentiment) for NIO.

Nio Inc (NIO) Stock Rises on Europe Expansion
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | August 1, 2022
• Nio stock is opening a power product plant in Europe
• NIO is on track for its fourth-straight session of gains
Electric vehicle concern Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is up 4.9% at $20.70 at last check, after the China-based company announced the opening of its first overseas plant. The power product plant, which will be in Pest, Hungary, will develop and manufacture products such as battery-swapping stations for European users.
On the charts, the $24 level has given NIO trouble for most of 2022. Recently, however, the 60-day moving average has swooped in as support, guiding the stock to now be on track for its fourth-straight daily win. Year-to-date, the security is down roughly 34%.
Most of the brokerage bunch is bullish toward Nio stock, with eight of the nine in coverage carrying a "strong buy" rating, and one a "hold." Meanwhile, the 12-month consensus price target of $36.35 is a 77% premium to current levels.
NIO is a consistently popular stock amongst options traders, and particularly options bears as of late. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the stock's 50-day put/call volume ratio of 0.76 ranks higher than 94% of annual readings. So while calls are stilling winning out on an absolute basis, puts have been picked up at a much quicker-than-usual clip of late.

Nio Is Down 70% From All-Time Highs
By: Motley Fool | July 27, 2022
• Nio Is Down 70% From All-Time Highs. Here Are 2 Reasons Why It's Worth a Second Chance.
Two service models give Nio an edge versus the competition.
The electric vehicle industry is one of the newest, most volatile investment opportunities on the market today. With Tesla (TSLA 1.58%) as the only established industry leader, there is still a great opportunity for start-up electric vehicle (EV) makers to ultimately dominate the market. As of now, Nio (NIO -0.89%) and Rivian (RIVN -0.79%) are ahead of the competition, but all EV companies have faced supply chain challenges as a result of COVID-19. The bear market has also been less than kind to the EV industry; at Tuesday's prices, Nio's stock has dropped almost 70% from its all-time high in January 2021, and other companies are struggling similarly.
Among these top three manufacturers, only Nio is based in China. That's significant, because China was responsible for almost 60% of global exports of electric vehicles in 2021. The Chinese government is also taking several steps in 2022 to boost EV demand, such as introducing subsidies for new-energy vehicles and reducing charging fees. These circumstances balance China's recent lockdowns, which forced manufacturing plants to halt production for weeks at a time. In two years, Nio managed to increase its quarterly production of EVs from less than 4,000 to more than 25,000. Once supply chain issues are no longer as prevalent, the company should be able to produce more than 500,000 EVs yearly.
Nio's innovation is the primary reason it's taking the EV market by storm. Its battery-as-a-service (BaaS) and autonomous-driving-as-a-service (ADaaS) investments set the company apart from the competition. The company's stock is up roughly 200% since it began trading almost four years ago and gained 24.9% in June alone (the S&P was down more than 6% during that same period), showing that Nio is growing and adapting with plenty of room to grow.
Nio's battery-as-a-service advantage
Not even Tesla has managed to replicate the popularity of Nio's convenient battery-as-a-service technology (although that hasn't kept Tesla from trying). The service allows Nio customers to quickly swap their batteries up to six times per month without leaving their cars. It's faster than EV charging, clocking in at under three minutes per swap. Compare that to the average time it takes to recharge using a Tesla Supercharger station: The fastest car to charge on average, Tesla's Model S, charges about 200 miles in 15 minutes -- about five times as long as the average Nio battery swap.
Nio purchasers who subscribe to the optional BaaS service snag a discount of Yuan 70,000 ($10,380) off the sticker price. Subscribers pay a monthly fee of Yuan 980 (about $145) that includes a 70 kilowatt-hour (KWh) battery. For reference, the average cost to charge a Tesla is around $14. And it costs around $4 to $5 per 100 miles using at-home charges, which can cost between $800 and $2,000 in installation fees.
China has supported the rollout of these BaaS stations, even going so far as to give Nio special tax exemptions for luxury vehicles. In July, Chinese state television reported that the government is considering extending existing tax breaks for EVs.
Not one to limit itself to China -- the largest national consumer of EVs in the world -- Nio has expanded its BaaS network to Norway and discussed opening some of its European BaaS stations to other carmakers, giving it potential leverage similar to Tesla's Supercharger network. If this pans out, Nio's growing network of BaaS stations could be a major growth lever as competition in the EV space heats up.
Currently, Nio has the largest battery-swap network by far. This could be because BaaS stations are expensive to install. However, Nio claims that its newest battery-swap stations are half the cost of prior stations, which had cost $500,000 per installation. In addition, battery-swap stations require Nio to create a surplus of batteries to be swapped, a high up-front cost that grows with scale. Investors could argue that despite the cost, Nio's scale creates a wider competitive advantage down the line, especially versus companies attempting to imitate Nio's battery-swap service. Drivers will turn to Nio to reduce range anxiety. As the EV industry continues to grow, this competitive advantage could easily outweigh the costs in the long run.
BaaS is a sticky service and potentially a competitive moat. Customers probably won't want to ditch the convenience of BaaS for slower, more cumbersome EV-charging stations offered by companies like Tesla (though Nio is also rolling out its own charging network). Things only get more interesting for this large-cap growth company when you factor in Nio's second service advantage.
Nio is steering customers to a hands-free future
Nio offers self-driving capabilities to drivers through its autonomous-driving-as-a-service platform. According to the president of Mobileye, a world leader in computer vision for ADaaS, the company will collaborate with Nio to enable Level 4 electric autonomous vehicles for both consumers and robotaxi fleets. At Level 4, cars are expected to be perfectly capable of operating without a human behind the wheel.
The potential runway for autonomous driving is huge. Estimates pegged the 2021 Chinese EV market at about $124 billion. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest estimates that the Chinese autonomous driving market will expand to $2.5 trillion by 2030. A more conservative estimate by McKinsey research pins it at $2 trillion by 2040, which is still massive. Both analysts believe China has the opportunity to become the largest market for autonomous driving products and services.
Recently, Nio has announced an upgrade to existing self-driving models with an advanced system called Alder. As the car's cockpit and sensors become smarter, so will the self-driving capabilities of the car. According to a 2021 study conducted by 42Mark, while Tesla's Model 3 beats Nio's E6 in basic ADaaS performance (lane changing, congestion, etc.), Nio's E6 outperforms the Model 3 in navigation-assisted ADaaS and automatic parking. Drivers familiar with Tesla should have plenty of confidence in Nio's ADaaS capabilities.
Nio deserves a second look
American investors are understandably wary of Chinese investments right now. The stock market is down, a recession looms, and heavy-handed Chinese regulation has blown the valuation clean off former pandemic darlings like Alibaba (BABA -1.46%) and Tencent (TCEHY -1.58%), which are down 15% and 29% year to date, respectively. However, the Chinese government's newly demonstrated support of the EV industry only serves to enhance Nio's growth prospects.
Nio's innovation has the potential to help the company overcome the bear market and emerge as a major player in the ever populated EV market. This company seems to have a bright future due to its numerous advantages over competing EV manufacturers. Its battery-as-a-service and autonomous-driving-as-a-service technologies allow Nio to rise above its competitors, making Nio a growing company that is certainly attractive to risk-tolerant investors. Warren Buffett's mindset applies here: The market is fearful, which means it's time to get greedy. Nio is worth a small portfolio allocation.

Where Will Nio Be in 5 Years?
By: Motley Fool | July 23, 2022
• The Chinese electric vehicle maker looks poised to grow.
In a year, Nio's (NIO -6.96%) stock price has fallen more than 50%. Investors are concerned about Nio's slower growth due mainly to supply chain challenges, as well as the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in China. More importantly, competition in the Chinese EV market is heating up, with big players as well as newer entrants having their eyes on the massive opportunity. Then there is the short seller's report accusing Nio of overstating its revenue.
Can Nio thrive in such a scenario?
The EV stock has fallen steeply
If you just look at the fall in Nio's stock price, you get a feeling that something might be terribly wrong with the company. However, if you look at Nio's revenue growth, figuring out why the stock has fallen so dramatically could be a head-scratcher.
NIO DATA BY YCHARTS
As the chart shows, Nio's revenue has been growing, albeit at a far slower pace, in recent quarters. The stock, which was trading at a high valuation due to its rapid growth, saw a steeper correction than its slower growth warranted.
Let's take a closer look at Nio's growth over the years. In 2019, Nio produced 20,565 electric vehicles. It more than doubled its production to 43,728 units in 2020. Likewise, the company again more than doubled its production to 91,429 units in 2021. Nio's pace of growth, however, slowed in 2022.
In the first half of 2022, Nio delivered 50,827 units. Now, the company expects the second half to be better, with June already better than April or May. So, for the year, it is expected to grow deliveries, though they may not double from 2021.
Attractive product lineup
Nio began deliveries of its new luxury sedan, ET7, in March. In June, it launched ES7, a five-seat electric SUV. Nio expects its deliveries to begin in August. The new products should drive Nio's sales growth.
However, the company's key challenge is supply chain constraints, and it is making every effort to secure a smooth supply. It expects to ramp up deliveries significantly in the second half of the year.
Does the stock's fall make sense?
Slower growth in deliveries has hurt Nio stock. The key question is, are concerns relating to Nio overblown, and is the stock better valued now?
NIO PS RATIO (FORWARD) DATA BY YCHARTS
Even after the fall, Nio stock is trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.7, which clearly doesn't looks cheap. However, if we compare Nio's ratio with its peers, the stock looks attractive. As the chart shows, Nio stock's forward P/S ratio is the lowest among its peers. Nio's ratio is also much lower than its own historical average.
EV stocks have been commanding premium valuations based on their expected growth and long runway for growth. If Nio continues to double its deliveries every year, as it did in the past, it won't take long for its P/S ratio to fall to far more reasonable levels.
Nio looks well-placed to grow
Nio has set up an independent committee to investigate the recent short seller's allegations. If the allegations are found false, Nio stock's fall may reverse. The company is launching new models, working on resolving supply chain challenges, and its efforts seem to be working, as evidenced by the strong delivery numbers in June.
Nio is also expanding in the European market and looks well-placed to capture a growing piece of the EV pie. The Chinese government plans to extend subsidies for electric vehicles, which should continue to support EV growth in the country.
Overall, Nio could be a far more established, and profitable, company five years from now. The stock's fall this year presents a buying opportunity.

Nio: A Mixed Grade On The Short Report
By: Vince Martin | July 13, 2022
• An activist short report on Nio seems to miss the mark
• Perhaps the most aggressive accusation appears to have been disproven
• But Nio is responding as if there is some truth to the story; investors should keep that in mind
Late last month, activist short seller Grizzly Research took aim at Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO). Some investors no doubt shrugged off the report without even reading it.
NIO Weekly Chart.
Source: Investing.com
Some of those investors might simply dislike short sellers. The rise of meme stocks, like AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), has engendered deep disdain for those traders making bearish bets. Some might see a conflict of interest for Grizzly, which disclosed a short position in NIO stock ahead of the release of its report.
Neither is a reason to dismiss the report out of hand, however. Short selling, and activist short selling in particular, provide important checks on market exuberance. Those checks offer value to the rest of the market — but can't be incentivized without creating some value for the short seller.
Indeed, no one should know this better than investors in a Chinese electric vehicle stock. Well-known firm Muddy Waters Research made its name correctly identifying fraud in that country. That same firm in early 2020 passed along an anonymous report that correctly spotted financial regularities at Luckin Coffee (OTC:LKNCY).
Activist sellers have targeted the EV space as well. Perhaps the most impactful of those campaigns was the report from Hindenburg Research on Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA). Hindenburg's research led not only to a plunging NKLA stock price but federal charges against its founder.
To be clear, that history doesn't mean Grizzly's own report is correct. Indeed, the firm appears to have made at least one significant mistake. But Nio itself seems to be taking the allegations seriously. Investors should as well.
The Grizzly Research Allegations
Grizzly's report on NIO can be described as having three core pillars.
The first is an argument that Nio is using a third party to inflate its revenue. Nio has developed a so-called “BaaS” (battery-as-a-service) program that allows vehicle purchasers to subscribe to a battery swap program in lieu of purchasing a battery upfront. The BaaS program, however, is run by a separate company, Wuhan Weineng Battery Asset Co., of which Nio owns 19.8%.
That setup allows Nio to book the revenues from the battery subscriptions it sells upfront, instead of over a period of years. To be clear, this is not illegal, as even Grizzly notes. In fact, this revenue treatment is required under accounting rules. But the effect is to inflate Nio's current revenue — and, more importantly, its profits.
Grizzly alleges that Nio has gone even further, however. It highlights a document from Wuhan Weineng, noting that as of Sept. 30, 2021, the company was servicing 19,000 subscribers. Yet, Wuhan Weineng at the same point had purchased more than 40,000 batteries from Nio.
Grizzly sees no need for these extra sales — and no signs of those batteries actually being stored anywhere. And so the firm concludes that Nio is allegedly overshipping batteries that it simply keeps at its service centers, further boosting revenue and earnings.
Finally, Grizzly raises some concerns about governance. It points to the installation of Nio executives at the head of Wuhan Weineng as disproving Nio's claims that it doesn't control that company. Grizzly notes the ties of Nio chairman Bin Li to individuals and entities involved in the Luckin fraud. And the firm claims that Li pledged shares ostensibly owned by Nio users to back loans, and that Li may well have routed 50 million RMB (roughly $7.4 million) to his personal account through Nio.
Is Grizzly Right?
Nio's initial response was to claim that “the report was without merit.” For the most part, the market seems to have agreed. NIO stock did drop about 3% on the day the report was released — but the entire market was down, with the less-volatile S&P 500 index declining 2%.
And, indeed, there appears to be a key error on perhaps the most inflammatory claim. The 19,000 subscriber figure was derived by a prospectus from Wuhan Weineng for an asset-backed financing. But as a number of users on Twitter pointed out, that prospectus doesn't cover all of the BaaS users — only a subset. Grizzly's claim here appears to fall completely flat.
As far as the argument that revenue and earnings are being inflated, there is some truth to it. But it's worth noting that accounting treatments typically depress the reported profits of SaaS companies. Costs are booked upfront; revenue is recognized over time. For this reason, in SaaS (software-as-a-service) businesses, investors often focus more on cash flow (where upfront payments are booked 100%) and/or pay close attention to deferred revenue balances.
The existence of Wuhan Weineng does perhaps suggests that Nio's results are better than they would be otherwise — but it does not imply that those results are distorted. Indeed, in the hypothetical scenario where Wuhan Weineng didn't exist, investors to some extent would treat Nio's BaaS revenue the same way they do SaaS, and make their own adjustments in valuing the business.
Reason For Concern?
Overall, the case made by Grizzly doesn't quite land. But that doesn't mean investors can or should simply dismiss the report out of hand.
There are governance concerns here. The pledging of Nio shares, if true, at best would be a significant violation of trust.
Grizzly notes that Chinese government entities — who rescued Nio when the company was at legitimate risk of bankruptcy in late 2019 — continue to redeem shares at a rapid clip. Nio still has obligations on that front that could total as much as $6.7 billion — and only $8.2 billion in cash on hand ahead of a planned global expansion. The firm is correct in noting that further redemptions could cause Nio to need to raise additional capital — which likely would require equity issuance and thus shareholder dilution.
The risks aren't as explosive as Grizzly's broader tone would suggest. But this still is a company with a market capitalization just shy of $35 billion — and no profitability in immediate sight. (Wall Street consensus projects a modest loss in 2023.) It's also a company that this week said it would form an independent committee of directors to probe the allegations made by Grizzly.
Perhaps that response is intended to mollify the market, and remove any semblance of doubt raised by the short report. But it's worth noting that Nio said its committee would be advised by “a well-regarded forensic accounting firm.”
That kind of firm isn't necessarily one required to respond to an error-riddled report with no basis in fact. It suggests that Nio's board at least wonders if there might be something to at least some of the allegations made here. Given the history of the space, and the still-stretched valuation, that's a risk investors, at the least, need to be aware of.

Nio Stock Falls After Short Seller Report Allegations
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | July 11, 2022
• Grizzly Research accused Nio of exaggerating its revenue and profit margins
• Nio formed an independent committee to investigate the claims
Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is down 3.6% in premarket trading, last seen at $21.78, following some serious allegations revealed in a short sell report. Specifically, short-selling firm Grizzly Research accused the electric vehicle (EV) maker of exaggerating its revenue and profit margins, though Nio said that the allegations were without merit and is forming an independent committee to investigate the claims.
NIO is staring up at multiple long-term moving averages on the charts, most notably the 160-day trendline that kept a mid-June pop in check. The $21 region appears to have formed a level of support in recent weeks, however, while Nio stock sports a 28.7% year-to-date deficit.
Options traders are more bearish than usual toward the EV staple. This is per NIO's 50-day put/call volume ratio of 0.77 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which sits higher than 98% of readings in its 12-month range. In other words, while calls still outnumber puts on an overall basis, long puts are getting picked up at a quicker-than-usual clip.
Analysts, meanwhile, are firmly bullish. In fact, eight of the nine carry a "strong buy" rating, while the one calls NIO a tepid "hold." Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $36.35 is a hefty 60.8% premium to Friday's close.

Bulls Should Approach Nio (NIO) Stock With Caution
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | July 7, 2022
• There's a lot of spread activity going on around NIO
• Will Nio stock be able to hold its 120-day moving average?
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) wrapped up the first half of the year with its worst performance since 1970, as recession fears clamber to the forefront of investor minds. One sector seems to be avoiding becoming collateral to the broader-market volatility, however. Friday morning kicked off July, as well as a slew of delivery reports from China-based electric vehicle (EV) names. For the month of June, Li Auto (LI) handed out 13,024 vehicles, Xpeng (XPEV) delivered 15,295, and Nio (NIO) saw a 60% year-over-year increase of 12,961 deliveries.
It’s more than just strong delivery numbers, though. Following the stock’s January 2021 record peak at $66.99, NIO proceeded to carve out a channel of lower lows over the next year-and-a-half, culminating in a May 12 two-year low of $11.67. Things began looking up on June 21, after the equity gapped 9.1% higher on the heels of a bull note out of BofA Global Research. Despite several days of correction, the shares of Nio stock remain above newfound support at the 120-day moving average and $21 level.
This newfound support also comes as call traders begin to circle back in on NIO. Specifically, the security just appeared on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of names that have attracted the highest weekly options volume in the past two weeks. Per this data, 1,897,758 calls and 1,502,859 puts were traded within this two-week time period. The June 20 call was the most popular contract during this time frame, followed closely by the June 20 put in that same monthly series – indicating possible spread activity was occurring in the last month or so.
The aforementioned call popularity could be a red flag for contrarians, however. Should this optimism begin to unwind, it could weigh heavy on NIO shares. What’s more, the security is looking ripe for downgrades. Eight of the nine covering brokerage firms sport a "strong buy" recommendation.
Overall, the EV sector, like most growth plays in the last year, has been battered. That doesn't necessarily mean the time is now to jump in, as short and long term risk remains elevated and legislation dependent. It’s best to move forward with heightened caution amid the recession fears and recent inflation buzz, though buying and selling through specific methods, such as the previously mentioned spread tactic, could be wise.
The ultimate goal for a long call or put spread is still for the underlying security to rise/fall, but without the trader being "all-in" bullish or bearish. Instead, she sacrifices the unlimited profit available to the long call/put buyer in exchange for a lower cost of entry and reduced breakeven point. Also be sure to check out Schaeffer’s latest product release: Vertical Options Trader, which covers trading via call and put debit spreads.

Tesla Rivals Challenge Its Lead as Nio Sets Encouraging Record
By: TheStreet | July 3, 2022
• Tesla's rivals are not even coming close to producing and delivering EVs at the same rate as the Austin, Texas-based market leader.
Electric vehicle makers have been struggling over the last two years to produce and deliver cars, trucks and SUVs despite obstacles such as supply chain disruptions, semiconductor shortages and factory shutdowns caused by the covid pandemic.
The industry's leading EV manufacturer Tesla (TSLA) on July 2 said that plant closures at its Shanghai gigafactory in April and May and supply chain disruptions led to a smaller number of deliveries than expected in its second quarter ending June 30 with 254,695, which was 26.7% higher than the same period in 2021, but 17.7% lower than its record of 310,048 delivered in the first quarter of 2021. Analysts were originally expecting about 295,000 deliveries.
Tesla's production declined to 258,580 vehicles in the second quarter compared to 305,407 in the first quarter. It had produced 305,840 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Tesla's rivals are not even coming close to producing and delivering EVs at the same rate as the Austin, Texas-based market leader. But they keep trying.
Tesla Rivals Struggle to Produce and Deliver Volume of EVs
Tesla rival Nio (NIO) on July 1 said that it had delivered 12,961 vehicles in June for a 60.3% year-over-year increase and its highest number of monthly deliveries ever.
