Nio Inc. to Officially Enter Germany in October
By: Michael Elkins | August 19, 2022
An exclusive report by electric-vehicles.com shows that Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) will officially arrive in Germany on October 7. The report cites an internal memo and states that the company will hold an event to meet the User Advisory Board members in Munich on September 9, four weeks before the official market launch.
In the memo, NIO says it would like to get to know users personally, exchange ideas with them and also “give a first look into the world of NIO”. The company added that will “be in touch shortly” with an official invitation for the event in September.
Continuing with the user-centered approval that helped NIO enter Norway in 2021, the company has been inviting enthusiasts from Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Sweden to join the User Advisory Board. The board gives members the opportunity to experience NIO’s products, technology, and services.
On the official invitation for each of those markets, NIO said it believes that “the most valuable feedback on our brand, our products and our services comes from users” and that they are looking for users that want to think along with them.
According to people familiar with the matter, NIO also plans to enter the U.S. market in 2025 and deploy the first Battery Swap Station in the country as soon as November 2022. The first battery swap station may end up behind the company’s current headquarters in San Jose. However, the station would be built for testing purposes.
NIO is down 1.1% in pre-market trading.

NIO ES7: Bringing You an Immersive Experience
In June, we launched the newest member, NIO ES7, to the family. Similar to the NIO ET7, the NIO ES7 also comes standard with PanoCinema, the AR/VR compatible custom digital cockpit system with a 7.1.4 surround sound system enabled with Dolby Atmos®, which will bring you an immersive visual and audio experience at the same time.
Dolby Atmos® was created for the cinema, introducing object-based three-dimensional sound design. Creatives can place sounds anywhere in space with unprecedented and precise control over the placement and movement of sound for the most immersive user experience.
Dolby Atmos® technology has just started to be used in the automobile industry, and NIO has become one of the early pioneers to bring this beyond audio experience to our users. DolbyStereo
NIO ES7 (or NIO ET7), with 23 speakers and a total output of 1000w, uses the Dolby Atmos® software solution combined with cabin tuning and speaker mapping to decode and recreate the exact placement of every sound inside the car cabin.
Paired with the Dolby Atmos-supported audio channels, which include NIO users’ own NIO Radio, the users can hear music as the artist heard it in the studio when it was recorded, even while on the go in the car.

Nio Inc. Partners with UN on Clean Parks Initiative
By: Michael Elkins | August 15, 2022
Electric vehicle maker, Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) announced on Monday that it has joined with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to promote its Clean Parks platform. NIO launched its Clean Parks program late last year to help protect environmentally sensitive areas and has since secured some high-profile partners such as the World Wildlife Foundation.
According to a post by Nio on its mobile app, the EV company and the UNDP will work together to promote in-depth cooperation in environmental protection in nature reserves, youth empowerment, and the development of eco-investment standards.
William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Nio, and Qin Lihong, co-founder and president of Nio, along with executives from UNDP and officials from China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), attended the signing ceremony.
Nio and the UNDP expect the partnership to help the private sector to step up their efforts in biodiversity conservation and tackling climate change through the Clean Parks initiative.
"It's a great honor to have the United Nations Development Program on board to support the Clean Parks Initiative with Nio, to build a clean and low-carbon energy circulation system in nature reserves," said Nio founder William Li.
"Ecological protection and biodiversity conservation are high on the global and national agenda and I look forward to this partnership contributing to these priorities," said Beate Trankmann, UNDP resident representative in China.

NIO: Mounting Headwinds Batter Investor Confidence
By: GuruFocus | August 11, 2022
• NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) struggled in the first half of 2022 as economic turmoil and supply issues slowed production and sales growth. The Chinese electric vehicle maker has guided for a substantial uptick in the second half of the year. Investors do not seem wholly convinced, however.
The company will have an opportunity to address these concerns when it reports second-quarter earnings later this month.
Mid-year performance review
NIO sold 25,059 vehicles during the second quarter, up 14% year over year. June was especially important to this growth, with 12,961 units delivered during the final month of the quarter, up 60% year over year. The June boom was not enough to deliver sequential growth, however. The company's second-quarter delivery print fell 2.8% short of the 25,768 units sold during the first quarter.
During the first quarter, NIO brought in $1.48 billion in revenue, which translated to a GAAP loss of 17 cents per share. Revenue is set to decline in the second quarter due to lower unit sales and other economic headwinds. Analysts currently estimate that NIO will bring in $1.43 billion in revenue in the second quarter. Analysts predict a widening loss of 20 cents per share.
Despite recent downward revisions by several analysts, the consensus may still be a bit too generous. Headwinds from supply chain issues and rising costs likely did not help NIOs bottom line in the second quarter. A shortage of casting parts had a particularly negative impact on sales growth, especially for the ET7, the company's sole sedan model currently on the market.
What comes next
NIOs longtime promise of monumental growth is looking shakier. In July, the company delivered just over 10,000 vehicles, which increased 27% year over year but was down considerably from June and was just the fifth best month for the company overall. Notably, this was in spite of NIO having an additional model available in July 2022 that was not on the market the year prior.
The company does not have much time to get its growth engine back into high gear. In May 2021, NIO signed an extension to its manufacturing contract with state-owned JAC Manufacturing, doubling its unit production commitments to 240,000 vehicles per year. According to management guidance released in July, NIO aims to reach monthly production of 30,000 vehicles either in late 2022 or early 2023. However, the persistent headwinds that have slowed growth in recent months show little sign of dissipating anytime soon.
Still, NIO has a few positive things going for it, including two new vehicle models set to go to market in the third quarter. The first of these, the ET5 sedan, is scheduled for release in September. If NIO can ramp up production of these new models quickly, it may be able to get closer to its target. That is easier said than done, especially if the ET5 production line faces the same casting parts shortage that has thus far stymied production of its other sedan.
My take
Problems with sourcing parts and supplies, especially for the ET7, has already cost NIO some growth momentum. Those issues look likely to persist into the third quarter, at least. The stock was down 5% for the day on Aug. 9 and down 57.6% over the last 12 months. With a market capitalization still standing at more than $30 billion, the stock remains richly valued despite its recent battering by the market, in my opinion.
Investors interested in this name will be watching closely when NIO reports earnings for the second quarter, especially after the company opted to push its earning date out to Aug. 25.

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.
