Catalyst for NIO (taken from 4 past Seeking Alpha articles)
Seeking Alpha Oct. 9, 2021
***The state of California (America's biggest market for the automotive industry) has mandated that every new automotive vehicle produced has to become electric by the year 2035. This is the most aggressive clean energy passed by the state legislator in decades. This government legislation suggests that NIO will have a larger market and a greater opportunity to succeed.
***It is evident that NIO's growing market gives NIO a lot of opportunities, which makes NIO a strong stock.
***One of NIO’s most popular vehicles, the ES8, has recently received the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval to start selling cars in Europe. This approval from Europe has allowed NIO to tap into the European markets which are already bigger than that of the United States. As of now, NIO has unveiled their cars in Europe from July in select countries like Norway and Germany. With hundreds of thousands or millions of vehicles soon to be sold, NIO’s presence in the European market gives NIO a lot of opportunity for growth and the potential to increase its market share globally.
***NIO's increase in market share gives investors a lot of hope for what is to come in the future thus leading to an increase in stock value.
Seeking Alpha Oct. 14, 2021
***NIO is planning to aggressively expand its BaaS infrastructure, with plans to build over 4000 stations by 2025, and not just in China. In the future, this could give NIO an incredible advantage over its competitors, if and when BaaS becomes the norm.
Seeking Alpha Oct. 18, 2021
***Another highly anticipated event will be NIO Day 2021 at year-end. While the exact date for the keynote event has not yet been released, it is expected to happen sometime between December 1st, 2021 and January 15th, 2022 based on prior-year patterns. Many are speculating that the EV maker will debut the two new vehicles announced in Q2 during the upcoming keynote event in Suzhou like it did for the ET7 during NIO Day 2020 in Chengdu. It has been rumored that NIO will be launching a second sedan, dubbed the ET5, during NIO day 2021. The new model is expected to be a midsized sedan built on the NT 2.0 platform with similar designs as the ET7. The upcoming unveiling of new vehicles, which could happen at NIO Day 2021, is likely to be catalytic for the stock. Last year, the unveiling of the ET7 during NIO Day 2020 had sent NIO’s share price to an all-time high of more than $66, jumping close to 20% from the preceding trading day’s low.
Seeking Alpha Nov. 12, 2021
***In addition to additional store openings in Norway, NIO will also be penetrating five other countries in Europe next year, including Germany. Considering Europe is currently the world's second largest EV market with favorable government policy support backing rapid adoption in the years to come, NIO is on track towards becoming a reputable global EV brand with overseas revenues ultimately accounting for 50% of consolidated sales in the long-run.
***In order to accommodate upcoming new product productions and growing global demand, NIO has upgraded the manufacturing lines at its Hefei JAC-NIO manufacturing facility to expand production capacity, and is currently in the process of constructing a second production site at NeoPark. As mentioned in earlier sections, the JAC-NIO plant has undergone upgrades during the first half of October to ensure sufficient capacity and tooling for the upcoming productions of the ET7. Management has confirmed that the upgrades have been substantially completed and there will only be "minor restructurings and modifications of the production lines" until start of productions on the ET7s, which will not result in further impacts to the day-to-day production of existing vehicle models. As for its new production site at NeoPark, the facility's main frame structure has already completed construction, and equipment installation is scheduled to begin later this month. The facility is expected to come online in the third quarter of 2022 and host productions of NIO's new vehicles announced last quarter. Total annual production capacity will jump from about 240,000 vehicles at its current JAC-NIO manufacturing facility to 600,000 vehicles upon completion and subsequent production ramp up at its NeoPark facility. The expanded production capacity would further complement NIO's ongoing growth plans of acquiring additional market share from different vehicle and geographic segments through expanding its vehicle line-up and global presence.
Nice read. Looks like we will have our day(s) soon
We need to make some damn gains here already.
Yep, sounds reasonable !
NIO Stock Can Double, Says Analyst. One Big Overhang Is Gone for the EV Maker.
By: Barron's | November 23, 2021
Chinese electric-vehicle maker NIO has lagged behind peers so far in 2021. The underperformance of its American depositary receipts—U.S.-listed securities—could be ending.
Citigroup analyst Jeff Chung wrote Tuesday that recent weakness in NIO (ticker: NIO) ADRs was related to the company selling shares. Those sales are done and he sees positive catalysts for the stock coming in 2022.
He rates NIO ADRs at Buy and has an $87 price target, more than 100% higher than recent levels.
NIO (ticker: NIO) ADRs rose 7% Monday, closing at $41.49. Monday’s rise was related to a late Friday news release in which NIO said it had finished selling about 53 million ADRs raising about $2 billion in cash.
Since that sale was announced in early September, NIO ADRs slipped about 5% until the capital raise finally finished. XPeng (XPEV) ADRs rose about 12% over the same span. Li Auto (LI) ADRs dipped a little, falling about 1%, but Tesla (TSLA) stock roared ahead, rising more than 50% over the comparable span.
NIO was the worst performer of that group, but the ADRs are making up for some of the underperformance again on Tuesday. NIO ADRs are up another 3.8% in early Tuesday trading. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are both up about 0.2%.
The removal of the sale is one positive factor for the NIO. Looking ahead, Chung sees November vehicle deliveries, an analyst event on Dec. 18, and pricing details for the company’s new ET5 sedan helping to lift the ADRs.
The ET5 should compete with the likes of a Tesla Model 3.
Chung is a NIO bull, and his price target is the highest on the Street, according to Bloomberg. His peers on Wall Street also love NIO. About 84% of analysts covering the company rate NIO at Buy. The average Buy-rating ratio for stocks in the S&P 500 is about 55%.
The average analyst price target stands at about $60, about two-thirds of Chung’s price target, but it still implies about 44% gains from recent levels.
Coming into Tuesday trading, NIO ADRs are down about 15% year to date, which has helped them grow into their valuation. At the end of 2020, ADRs traded for about 14 times estimated next year’s sales. Shares are now trading for about 7.5 times estimated next year’s—or 2022, in this case—sales.

3 Trades In Nio Stock To Take Advantage Of Recent EV Share Spikes
By: Investing.com | November 18, 2021
• Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO stock is down about 19.5% in 2021.
• Nio is a play on the growth of the Chinese EV market.
• Interested investors could regard NIO stock as a proxy for Chinese alternative energy shares as well as EV makers and invest for the long-run, especially if the price goes toward $37.5 in the short term.
Long-term investors in Chinese electric vehicle group Nio (NYSE:NIO) do not have much to report in 2021. So far this year, NIO stock is down almost 19.5%. By comparison, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has returned over 58% YTD.
NIO Weekly Chart.
NIO stock is currently at $39.35. It hit a record high of $66.99 on Jan. 11. And the 52-week range for the stock has been $30.71 – $66.99. The decline since January came to a halt on Oct. 6, when shares hit an intraday low of $33.17. Since then Nio stock has returned around 20%.
The recent run-up in NIO corresponds to the up move in other EV names as well as many Chinese technology stocks, which came under state scrutiny earlier in the year. Meanwhile, on Nov. 10, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), the EV group backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), started trading at an opening price of $106.75 (covered earlier this week). In a matter of days, RIVN shares, which are now shy of $148, have returned an eye-popping 38%.
Recent metrics highlight:
“A total of 2,65 million new EVs found new owners during the first half of 2021, an increase of +168 % compared to 2020.”
Similarly, sales in China have been extremely strong as “Chinese consumers bought 1.79 million electric vehicles over the first eight months of 2021, up 194% from the same period last year.”
Given the expected growth in the sector worldwide, Wall Street keeps a close eye on NIO shares.
What To Expect From Nio Stock
Among 25 analysts polled, NIO stock has an 'outperform' rating. The shares have a 12-month median price target of $57.99, implying an increase of about 46% from current levels.
The 12-month price range currently stands between $27-$86.99. Put another way, despite the recent rally in Nio shares, Wall Street remains optimistic for further upside.
Meanwhile, the stock’s P/S and P/B ratios stand at 12.07x and 16.25x. By comparison, the metrics for TSLA stock are 22.29x and 39.14x. And if we look at the ratios for the legacy automaker General Motors (NYSE:GM), we see 0.69x and 1.73x.
Readers who watch technical charts might be interested to know that NIO’s short-term technical picture is urging caution. Given the extent of the recent up move, there could be some profit-taking in the coming days. The $40 level should act as resistance.
Our expectation is for Nio to give up some of its recent gains and move toward $37.5, or even below. In such a case, there should be strong support between $35 and $37.5. Afterward, the shares would likely trade sideways while it establishes a new base, and possibly start a new leg up.
3 Possible Trades On Nio
1. Buy NIO Stock At Current Levels
Investors who are not concerned with daily moves in price and who believe in the long-term potential of the company could consider investing in Nio shares now.
NIO stock is currently at $39.35. Buy-and-hold investors should expect to keep this long position for several months, if not multiple quarters, while the stock makes an attempt toward $58, Wall Street's consensus estimate.
Readers who opt for this approach, but are concerned about large declines, might also consider placing a stop-loss at about 3%-5% below their entry point.
2. Buy An ETF With Nio As A Holding
Many readers are familiar with the fact that we regularly cover exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that might be suitable for buy-and-hold investors. Thus, readers who do not want to commit capital to Nio stock but would still like to have substantial exposure to the shares could consider researching a fund that has the company as a holding.
Examples of such ETFs include:
• Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:PGJ): The fund is down 28.4% YTD, and NIO’s stock’s weighting is 8.19%;
• First Trust NASDAQ® Clean Edge® Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQ:QCLN): The fund is up 14.1% YTD, and NIO stock’s weighting is 6.77%;
• KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index (NYSE:KARS): The fund is up 24.1% YTD, and NIO stock’s weighting is 4.45%.
3. Cash-Secured Put Selling
Investors who are bullish or would consider buying Nio shares at a level less than the current price could consider selling a cash-secured put option in NIO stock—a strategy we regularly cover. As it involves options, this set-up will not be appropriate for all investors.
A put option contract on Nio stock is the option to sell 100 shares. Cash-secured means the investor has enough money in his or her brokerage account to purchase the security if the stock price falls and the option is assigned. This cash reserve must remain in the account until the option position is closed, expires or the option is assigned, which means ownership has been transferred.
Let's assume an investor wants to buy Nio stock, but does not want to pay the current price of $39.35 per share. Instead, the investor would prefer to buy the shares at a discount within the next several months.
One possibility would be to wait for Nio stock to fall, which it might or might not do. The other possibility is to sell one contract of a cash-secured NIO put option.
So the trader would typically write an at-the-money (ATM) or an out-of-the-money (OTM) put option and simultaneously set aside enough cash to buy 100 shares of the stock.
Let's assume the trader is putting on this trade until the option expiry date of Feb. 18, 2022. As the stock is $39.35 at time of writing, an OTM put option would have a strike of $35.
So the seller would have to buy 100 shares of NIO at the strike of $35 if the option buyer were to exercise the option to assign it to the seller.
The NIO Feb. 18, 2022, 35-strike put option is currently offered at a price (or premium) of $2.55.
An option buyer would have to pay $2.55 X 100, or $255, in premiums to the option seller. This premium amount belongs to the option seller no matter what happens in the future. The put option will stop trading on Friday, Feb. 18.
Assuming a trader would enter this cash-secured put option trade at $39.35 now, at expiration on Feb. 18, the maximum return for the seller would be $255, excluding trading commissions and costs.
The seller's maximum gain is this premium amount if NIO stock closes above the strike price of $35.00. Should that happen, the option expires worthless.
If the put option is in the money (meaning the market price of NIO stock is lower than the strike price of $35.00) any time before or at expiration on Feb. 18, this put option can be assigned. The seller would then be obligated to buy 100 shares of NIO stock at the put option's strike price of $35.00 (i.e., at a total of $3,500).
The break-even point for our example is the strike price ($35.00) less the option premium received ($2.55), i.e., $32.45. This is the price at which the seller would start to incur a loss.
Cash-secured put selling is a moderately more conservative strategy than buying shares of a company outright at the current market price. This can be a way to capitalize on the choppiness in NIO stock in the coming weeks.
Investors who end up owning the shares of the EV maker as a result of selling puts could further consider setting up covered calls to increase the potential returns on their shares. Thus, selling cash-secured puts could be regarded as the first step in stock ownership.

Earnings Previews: Nio (NYSE: NIO)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | November 8, 2021
Nio
China-based EV maker Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) has added about 5% to its share price over the past 12 months. At one point in early February, the stock was up 50% but later dropped to 25% below the year-ago share price. It bounced higher in late June and fell again in early October.
Rising competition for EVs, especially recently from Lucid, has cooled enthusiasm for Nio, as did a weak report on October deliveries. What the company has to say about that when it reports earnings Tuesday afternoon could have a big impact on the share price.
There are 22 analyst ratings on Nio’s stock, and 18 of those are Buy or Strong Buy. At a price of around $43.80, the upside potential based on a median price target of $59.38 is about 35.6%. At the high target of $92.01, the upside potential is 110%.
For the third quarter, the consensus estimates call for revenue of $1.47 billion, up 12.4% sequentially and 120% year over year. Nio is expected to post an adjusted loss per share of $0.05, worse than the $0.03 per-share loss in the prior quarter and better than the year-ago loss of $0.12 per share. For the full year, the company is expected to report a per-share loss of $0.42, better than the $0.66 loss last year, on sales of $5.67 billion, up about 128%.
Analysts estimate that Nio will trade at 116.5 times earnings in 2023. Until then, it will not post a profit. The enterprise value-to-sales multiple is expected to be 12.0 in 2021 and 7.2 in 2022. The stock’s 52-week range is $30.71 to $66.99. The company does not pay a dividend.

Why Nio Shares Popped Today:
https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/11/04/why-nio-shares-popped-today/
Why Nio Stock Soared Today
By: Motley Fool | November 2, 2021
• Investors see bright days ahead for the electric-vehicle stock as its earnings day approaches.
Key Points
• Nio's orders hit record highs last month, and it's gearing up for several new launches in 2022.
What happened
After a muted start to the week, electric-vehicle (EV) stock Nio (NYSE:NIO) popped 4% Tuesday morning as investors tried to look beyond the dismal headlines that hit the stock momentarily on Monday and weighed in on the long-term prospects of the popular EV manufacturer.
So what
Investors in Nio were taken by surprise Monday when the China-based EV manufacturer reported a sharp decline in its delivery numbers for October even as arch rivals continued to race ahead.
XPeng's (NYSE:XPEV) October deliveries, for example, more than tripled to 10,138 vehicles. Li Auto's (NASDAQ:LI) October deliveries more than doubled to 7,649 vehicles. In sharp contrast, Nio delivered only 3,667 vehicles, down 27.5% year over year and a staggering 65% sequentially.
Nio blamed "restructuring and upgrades of manufacturing lines and the preparation of new products introduction from September 28 to October 15, as well as certain supply chain volatilities" for the drop in sales.
Here's what's happening today: Investors are looking past one dull month, considering it an outlier and not a true reflection of Nio's prospects. While the drop in its deliveries was disappointing, the reason behind the drop was not that concerning. In fact, Nio's upgrade of its manufacturing facilities last month confirms the company is on track to launch its luxury sedan, ET7, next year. Nio's SUV ES8 will also be available -- in Norway -- by March 2022.
Most importantly, Nio's order book continues to grow: It reported record orders in the month of October. Nio delivered a cumulative number of 145,703 vehicles as of Oct. 31. In comparison, XPeng's cumulative deliveries just topped 100,000 through October, and Li Auto's cumulative deliveries came in at around 96,500 cars.
Just last Thursday, Bernstein initiated coverage on Nio stock with a price target of $45 a share, citing strong growth in China's EV market. I second Bernstein's views on China's EV growth potential.
Now what
To be fair, it appears rivals are navigating the ongoing global semiconductor chip-shortage constraints better than Nio. Investors will want to stay updated about how well Nio is handling the chip shortage when Nio releases its third-quarter earnings on Nov. 9 after market close. Nio is expected to report strong numbers, with analysts projecting lower losses on more than twofold growth in revenue.
Nio, though, last projected its Q3 sales to be up between 88.4% and 104.8% and revenue to grow between 96.9% and 112.8% year over year. Keep those numbers in mind and mark your calendars as Nov. 9 will be a crucial day for investors betting on what I believe could be one of the hottest EV stocks to own for the next decade.

The good thing is that NIO regains momentum !
There is never a time where the gain of going short outweighs the risk. Plus if someone feels like shorting, it is 100% guaranteed they could be making a lot more money going long somewhere else.
anyone that wants to follow my teams trades on NIO should follow my posts. We have caught the moves pretty well. We sold out the long position on the calls today and we now are short again with the puts. I just had to ok the trade from the beach lol. Good luck I will let the board know when we sell the puts and go long again. Good luck trading and please never invest money you cant afford to lose.
