By: Investing.com | September 21, 2023
Chinese electric automaker, Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) launched their high-end smartphone Thursday, highlighting the advanced state of EV technologies in the world's biggest auto market.

Chief Executive William Li said the Nio Phone had more than 30 car-specific functions, including the ability to notify their car to drive itself to their location (a feature only available at low speeds in restricted parts of China).
"I believe many of our competitors will learn from our smartphone innovations and I welcome them to do so," Li said in a statement.
There are three models available, with prices ranging from CNY 6,499 to CNY 7,499 ($890 to $1,030). Initially, the phone will only be available for purchase in China, and deliveries are set to commence on September 28th.

Nio CEO calls for open minds as EU launches subsidy probe
By: Investing.com | September 21, 2023
William Li, the head of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, Nio (NYSE:NIO) expressed a desire for governments worldwide to adopt a more open-minded approach rather than isolating themselves. This statement followed the European Commission's initiation of an anti-subsidy investigation into electric vehicles produced in China last week.
Li said that there are valuable lessons to be gleaned from China's new energy vehicle industry, emphasizing the importance of embracing open competition for the betterment of users and the promotion of global sustainability.
Nio is ranked 9th among manufacturers of electric and hybrid vehicles in China and is among a number of Chinese EV makers that have been expanding into Europe among growing competition in their home market, helped by strict rules on emissions and Beijing's favorable trade ties.
According to the European Commission, China's market share of electric vehicles (EVs) sold in Europe has increased to 8% and is projected to potentially reach 15% by 2025. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen noted last week that prices in the EV sector were being artificially suppressed by state subsidies.
However, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU argued that the sector's competitive advantage was not solely attributable to subsidies.
Shares of NIO are down 3.79% in afternoon trading Thursday.

Mizuho cuts price target on Nio while raising delivery estimates
By: Investing.com | August 30, 2023
Mizuho reiterated a Buy rating on Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) but cut their 12-month price target on the stock to $18.00 (from $20.00) after the Chinese electric automaker reported its 2Q earnings report.
NIO reported 2Q revenues of RMB 8.77 billion, missing the consensus estimate of RMB 9.51B. Deliveries for the quarter were down 24% compared to the first 3 months of the year. However, management guided 3Q deliveries of 56k units, up 138% q/q and 77% y/y as the electric automaker places its faith in its NT2.0 product rollout expected in September, along with an expanding service and power network.
Analysts wrote in a note, “While NIO did not guide its full 2023E production (prior ~250k), we believe the company can see improving deliveries through 2H23E as it expands its sales force and sees demand tailwinds from RMB 30k price cuts implemented in June.”
The automaker reported an EPS loss of (3.28) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of (2.41).
NIO is targeting ~30k vehicles/month starting in Oct'23 as it increases its sales staff.
Mizuho raised their F23E/F24E deliveries estimates to ~174k/290k units, up 42%/66% y/y. Mizuho also adjusted their 3Q revenue and EPS estimates from RMB 16.5B and (2.26) to RMB 19.2B and (2.16) respectively. Consensus estimates for the 3Q are RMB 17.4B/(2.42).
“Despite concerns of a softer consumer, we believe NIO remains well-positioned with multiple upcoming ramps including its lowest cost SUV ES6, a multi-year EV adoption tailwind, market leadership in premium EVs in China, the largest EV market, EU/Global expansion, and an expanding product portfolio,” added the analysts.
Shares of NIO are down 2.34% near end-of-day trading Wednesday.

Disappointing Q2 Results Drag Nio Inc (NIO) Stock
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | August 29, 2023
• China-based Nio also issued a downbeat fiscal third-quarter forecast
• The security is down more than 50% year-over-year
Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) earlier announced worse-than-expected second-quarter losses and revenue. The electric vehicle (EV) name also saw its delivery numbers dwindle year over year, and issued a fiscal third-quarter revenue outlook that was below analysts' estimates. At last check, NIO was down 7.9% at $10.15.
Today's bear gap early sent the security below a floor at the $10 level, and it's on track close below its 80-day moving average for the first time since June. Nio stock is a far cry from this year's Aug. 4 high of $16.18, and is down nearly 50% over the last 12 months.
Overall options volume is already running at six times the intraday average amount, with 100,000 calls and 51,000 puts traded so far. Most active is the weekly 9/1 9.50-strike put, where positions are being opened. NIO is also on the short sale restricted (SSR) list today.

Earnings Preview: Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | August 25, 2023
• Here is a look at what analysts expect when these three companies report quarterly results Tuesday morning.
Nio
China-based EV maker Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) has lost nearly 44% from its share price over the past 12 months. The stock price has increased by more than 9% so far in 2023, including a 50% bounce between mid-July and early August based on improving EV sales in China. Since that peak, the stock has given back all but about 3% of the increase.
The Tesla-spawned price war in China has been especially hard on Nio, and the struggling Chinese economy is not providing any support for EV makers or buyers. Analysts have dramatically reduced their revenue expectations for Nio’s second quarter, and that will give the company a decent chance to slip over a low bar. What that will mean depends on Nio beating estimates by a big margin. That probably will not happen.
There are 27 analyst ratings on Nio’s stock, and 18 are Buy or Strong Buy. At a share price of around $10.60, the upside potential based on a median price target of $14.26 is around 34.5%. At the high target of $20.79, the upside potential is 96.2%.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the consensus estimates call for revenue of $1.26 billion, down 19.2% sequentially and 18.2% lower year over year. Nio is forecast to post an adjusted loss per share of $0.41, worse than the $0.37 loss in the prior quarter and worse than the year-ago loss of $0.20 per share. For the full year, the company is expected to report a per-share loss of $1.25, worse than the $1.06 loss in 2022, on sales of $8.82 billion, up 23.5%.
Analysts do not expect Nio to produce a profit in 2023, 2024 or 20425. The enterprise value to sales multiple is expected to be 2.1 in 2023. Based on average estimated sales of $13.37 billion and $17.4 billion for 2023 and 2024, respectively, the multiple is 1.4 for 2024 and 1.1 for 2025. The 52-week trading range is $7.00 to $22.74. The company does not pay a dividend, and the total shareholder return for the past year is negative 43.61%.

U.S. judge greenlights Nio investor class action over factory claims
By: Investing.com | August 9, 2023
(Reuters) - Nio (NYSE:NIO) Inc investors can proceed as a class in a lawsuit claiming the Chinese electric vehicle maker lied about building its own factory in Shanghai during its 2018 initial public offering, a U.S. judge has ruled.
The lawsuit in federal court in New York seeks damages from Nio, its executives and underwriters for a decline in share price after the carmaker said in March 2019 that it had scrapped plans to build the new factory it had said was "under construction" during the IPO.
U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis issued an order late Tuesday certifying a class of all investors who bought Nio American Depositary Shares (ADS) in the September 2018 IPO, and a class of investors who purchased ADS between Oct. 8, 2018 and March 5, 2019.
The defendants have denied the allegations. Their attorneys did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
The ruling is one of the final hurdles for the investors before a trial in the case. Securities class actions rarely go to trial; those that are not dismissed typically result in settlements. The company may also ask the judge to rule in its favor without a trial.
The investors anticipated the factory would give Nio its own manufacturing capacity and alleviate its reliance on a Chinese state-owned manufacturer some analysts viewed as "third tier."
But construction had never started, the lawsuit alleges, citing former employees and the lack of necessary construction permits.
The investors also claimed Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and several other underwriters failed to properly vet the company's statements.
When Nio disclosed the plant would not be built in March 2019, its ADS price dropped 30%, from around $10 to $7 per share, the investors said.
Nio ADS were trading at around $13.50 per share on Wednesday, down about 3.9% from Tuesday's closing price.The case is In re: NIO, Inc., Securities Litigation, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No. 19-cv-01424.
