‘NIO Day’ Featured a New EV and AR Goggles. Will They Be Enough to Boost the Hard Hit Stock?
By: Barron's | December 18, 2021
Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO (ticker: NIO) hosted an event for car buyers—and investors—in China on Saturday morning Eastern time. A brand new model, to be delivered in 2022, was announced. And the technology NIO is packing into its cars is something to behold. There are even augmented reality glasses—like something out of an Avengers movie.
The new vehicle is the ET5 midsize sedan. It’s a higher-end model starting at about $50,000. With NIO’s battery as a service subscription, the initial purchase price is about $40,000. NIO will let car buyers pay a monthly fee, essentially, separating the battery purchase from the car purchase.
The new sedan comes with roughly 500 horsepower and will go zero to 60 miles an hour in about 4 seconds. It should be able to drive up to 430 miles per charge, a big number although Chinese and U.S. range statistics are reported differently.
The ET5 is also equipped with advanced safety features including lidar sensors.
Lidar is essentially laser-based radar and most auto makers believe lidar is one of the technologies required to achieve truly self-driving technology. The ET5 also comes equipped with the company’s latest self-driving software. NIO Autonomous Driving or NAD, as the company calls it, will maintain driving speeds and do some steering, but drivers still need to pay attention to the road at all times.
All the software for self-driving—and the software running other car systems—runs on a computer powered by Nvidia (NVDA) chips.
Then there are the glasses. NIO unveiled augmented reality glasses that are integrated with the car. “The visual experience is as good as a 201-inch screen at 6 meters away,” said NIO founder William Li. The glasses can display vehicle information. Drivers won’t have to look down to check speed. The glasses drew applause from the assembled crowd.
NIO plans to deliver the ET5 by September 2022. The company also provided an update about its new ET7 sedan. Deliveries of that model should begin in March 2022. The ET7 was unveiled at the company’s last big event in January 2021.
NIO stock jumped 6.5% to more than $60 a share the Monday following that January event—and it could use another bump now. NIO stock has fallen 22% over the last month to $30. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are down about 2% and 1% over the same span. NIO’s third-quarter earnings were fine. Earnings and deliveries don’t seem to be what’s troubling investors most. Instead, delisting fears about U.S.-listed Chinese stocks have hammered NIO and its peers. XPeng (XPEV) shares are down 12% over the past month.
How the stock reacts to the new model, new technology and proposed delivery dates will say a lot about investor sentiment toward highly valued EV makers and U.S.-listed Chinese stocks in the coming weeks.

Is Nio Stock A Buy As A Catalyst Looms For The Tesla Of China?
By: Investor's Business Daily | December 11, 2021
China's Nio (NIO) continues to see robust demand for its luxury electric SUVs, while growing its lineup of electric cars and innovating EV batteries. But chip woes linger. Is Nio stock a buy right now?
At the Nio Day on Dec. 18, the EV startup could show off a cheaper, entry-level ET5 electric sedan. It could also reveal a new, mass-market brand. Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu considers the upcoming event a catalyst for NIO stock.
Founded in 2014, Nio had little experience in vehicle manufacturing when it came on the scene. But the EV startup, sometimes called the Tesla of China, went on to deliver booming sales. Unlike Tesla (TSLA), Nio does not make its own electric cars, instead partnering with a state-owned auto manufacturer.
Nio Earnings And Fundamental Analysis
On key earnings and other fundamental metrics, Nio lags. It's a young and fast-growing company, still looking to turn a profit.
Nio stock earns an EPS Rating of 45 out of 99, and an SMR Rating of D, on a scale of A to a worst E. The EPS rating compares a company's earnings growth vs. other companies. The SMR Rating measures sales growth, profit margins and return on equity.
On Nov. 10, Nio delivered a less-than-feared loss for the third quarter. Nio lost 6 cents a share while revenue soared 117%. But the startup gave weaker-than-expected Q4 revenue outlook, as chip shortages and production challenges continue.
Analysts expect Nio to pare losses to 66 cents per share for all of 2021 from 73 cents in 2020, according to FactSet. Revenue is seen surging 123% this year.
In Q3, Nio doubled EV sales, but Chinese startup rivals Li Auto (LI) and Xpeng (XPEV) nearly tripled sales. In October, Nio's EV sales plunged 27.5% while Li Auto and Xpeng continued to see triple-digit, year-over-year growth. Chip-supply issues and manufacturing upgrades ahead of new EVs in 2022 weighed on sales, Nio said.
Amid stiff competition, Nio is speeding up new EV launches. It aims to deliver three new products in 2022. Those include the ET7, its first electric sedan and most high-tech vehicle yet. The ET7, unveiled at the 2020 Nio Day, is set to offer more than 600 miles of battery range, as well as highly autonomous driving.
Its launch is set for Q1 2022 in China and by end of 2022 in Europe...
Is Nio Stock A Buy Now?
From a fundamental perspective, Nio's financial condition is improving after debt and liquidity fears slammed shares. It has significantly pared losses while delivering huge top-line gains.
An expanding vehicle lineup, entry into Europe and battery innovations mean more runway for growth. But the EV wars are heating up. In the near term, the chip supply crunch poses a headwind to Nio. Longer term, battery supplies could be an even bigger headache for EV stocks at large.
Nio stock is near a 52-week low and does not have a current buy point. But it's a promising and high-growth EV stock, so check back for updates.
Bottom line: Nio stock is not a buy right now.

Nio Stock Plummets as Didi Global Moves to Delist from NYSE
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | December 3, 2021
• Nio stock is seeing headwinds from Didi Global's pending U.S. delisting
• NIO is down more than 31% year-to-date
Electric vehicle name Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is taking a hit today, alongside other Chinese tech stocks, after Didi Global (DIDI) announced plans to delist from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Chinese regulators initially requested that the company delist in the U.S. last week, which is fueling speculation that the era of China-based stock listings in the states is coming to a close.
Last seen down 8.1% at $33.26, NIO earlier fell below the $33 area for the first time since May, and is now pacing for its worst week since late March. The 320-day moving average, which pressured the shares lower back in September, is once again acting as resistance. With just four positive months in the books in 2021, it is unsurprising NIO sports a 31.5% year-to-date deficit. It is also worth noting that the security has just landed on the Short Sale Restricted (SSR) list.
An unwinding of optimism in the options pits could add even more pressure. Nio stock's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 3.53 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) sits in the 98th percentile of its annual range, indicating long calls are being picked up at a quicker-than-usual clip.
Additional headwinds may come from a shift in analyst sentiment. Of the seven analysts covering NIO, six rate it a "buy" or better, and one says "hold." The 12-month consensus price target of $58.52 is a 77.3% premium to current levels, leaving ample room for both downgrades and price-target cuts.
Options traders are targeting NIO at double the intraday average today. So far, 191,000 calls and 119,000 puts have exchanged hands. The two most popular contracts are the December 45 call, and the weekly 12/3 33-strike put, where positions are being opened.

Nio, Li Auto Both Report Strong November EV Delivery Numbers
By: TheStreet | December 1, 2021
• Nio saw its November deliveries more than double, while Li Auto saw its deliveries nearly triple in the month.
Shares of Chinese electric vehicle makers Nio (NIO) and Li Auto (LI) gained on Wednesday after both companies reported strong upticks in November deliveries.
Shanghai-based Nio delivered 10,878 vehicles in November, a 105.6% year over year increase. Year to date, the company has delivered 80,940 vehicles, a 120% increase year over year.
Nio's five-seater high-performance premium smart electric SUV, the ES6, led the way in the month, with 4,713 deliveries.
Nio shares jumped 3.6% premarket Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Beijing's Li Auto reported delivering 13,485 vehicles in the month, a 190.2% year over year increase that was a new record for the company. Total deliveries year to date reached 76,404.
"We are excited to see Li ONE emerge as one of the best choices for large SUV users and families in China. This impressive result reflects widespread user endorsement of our outstanding product features and performance," said Yanan Shen, co-founder and president of Li Auto.
As of the end of the month, Li Auto had 174 retail stores in 93 cities.
On Tuesday, shares of Nio fell after the company denied reports that it plans to establish a factory in Europe as part of its expansion plans.
Reports had said that Nio was planning a production base in Poland after the company put a job posting on LinkedIn seeking an "EU plant operation manager."
"At present Nio is not planning a manufacturing site in Poland," the company said in a statement to Automotive News Europe.
Nio's American depositary receipts were up 3.3% at $40.43 at last check. Li Auto's ADRs were up 3.17% at $36.56.

Nio Stock Drops After Panning Europe Factory Expansion Plans
By: TheStreet | November 30, 2021
• Nio stock falls after the Chinese luxury electric vehicle maker denies reports that it plans to establish a factory in Europe as part of its expansion plans.
Nio (NIO) shares fell Tuesday after the Chinese luxury electric vehicle maker denied reports that it plans to establish a factory in Europe as part of its expansion plans.
Reports had said that Nio was planning a production base in Poland after the company put a job posting on LinkedIn seeking an "EU plant operation manager."
"At present Nio is not planning a manufacturing site in Poland," the company said in a statement to Automotive News Europe.
Nio has a foothold in the Norwegian region and the company is set to begin sales in Sweden by the end of 2022, according to COO Lihong Qin told the Swedish Dagens Industri in a story Monday.
Nio will begin sales in Germany next year with its new model ET7 sedan. The company plans to bring the ET7 to Norway, where it already sells the ES8 large SUV.
Nio announced plans to build four battery swap stations around Oslo, Norway this year with 12 more planned in other cities in 2022.
Last month, analysts at Goldman Sachs upgraded the company to buy from neutral with a $56 price target.
"We believe Nio’s positioning of the ET7 is strategic. The product design, such as the wheelbase, is in the same class with peer full-size premium sedans including Mercedes S-class and BMW 7 series," said analyst Fei Fang.
Goldman's checks show that electric vehicle sales penetration is progressing, market shares are consolidating towards the top manufacturers and the firm expects demand to be catalyzed by new model launches.
Shares of Nio were down 3.35% at $39.10 at last check.
