Akcie NIO v Hongkongu klesly na 26,95 HK$, tedy o více než 50 % pod letošní maximum, poté co zářijové dodávky meziročně vzrostly jen o 7,7 % na 37 408 vozů.
Nio stock has continued its downward spiral this month after a report showed that the company’s business is slowing. The shares fell to HK$26.95 in Hong Kong on Monday, more than 50% below their peak for the year. Its US-listed ADRs have also been caught in a heavy sell-off, wiping billions of dollars from the company’s market value.
The most recent delivery numbers showed that Nio’s deliveries are slowing. It delivered 37,408 vehicles in September, an increase of 7.7% from the same period last year. Its Nio brand sold 21,318 vehicles, while its Onvo and Firefly delivered 8,763 and 7,327 vehicles, respectively.
The 7.7% annual increase is good considering that the Chinese EV industry is going through a challenging time. However, it is significantly lower than what the company delivered in the previous month. Its deliveries in August rose by 14% from a year earlier.
The delivery numbers came as the new ES8 vehicle reached its 150,000 delivery milestone, ranking first in cumulative sales among large SUVs and vehicles priced above RMB400,000. Similarly, the recently launched ES9 vehicle crossed its 30,000 delivery milestone, a major achievement for a vehicle that went to market in May.
Still, these numbers mean that Nio’s revenue growth may start to decelerate, which is in line with what other Chinese EVs are doing. Top companies like Li Auto and XPeng delivered fewer vehicles than expected in September.
The most recent results showed that Nio’s revenue growth soared in the second quarter as its deliveries soared to 107,658 from 72,056 in the same period a year earlier. Its vehicle revenue soared by 80% to $4.287 billion, with its margins rising to 18.5%. Combined with its other businesses, Nio’s gross margin rose to 18.45 in the second quarter.
The challenge, however, is that this growth may have peaked, with analysts expecting the third-quarter revenue growth figure to come in at 51.49%. If this estimate is correct, then its revenue will jump to 33 billion yuan. Its fourth-quarter revenue growth is expected to be just 1.54%.
Worse, there are signs that the European Union is working to reduce the flood of cheap European vehicles in the bloc. It has already placed a limit of hybrid vehicle imports from China. This is important for Nio because it is betting on the international market to boost growth.

The daily chart shows that Nio shares have been in a strong sell-off in the past few months. It dropped from a high of $54.90 in Hong Kong to the current $27.12.
The stock has remained below all moving averages and the important support level of $34.96, its lowest level in February and March. It has also remained below all moving averages, a sign that short-sellers have prevailed.
Therefore, the path of the least resistance for the stock is downwards, with the next target to watch being at $25. A move below that level will point to more downside towards $20.
Akcie NIO v září klesly o 18,9 % navzdory dohodě, podle níž Geely získá 30% podíl ve společnosti NIO Power; zářijové dodávky vzrostly meziročně jen o 7,7 % na 37 408 vozů.
Nio (NIO +4.99%) sells premium and mass-market electric vehicles (EVs) and offers owners a perk: pull into a swap station with a drained battery and drive out with a full one. On Sept 28, Geely (GELYF +3.51%), another automaker, signed a deal for a 30% stake in the unit that runs those stations.
Yet, Nio's stock fell and exited the month with 18.9% loss, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

What's happening with Nio?Nio kicked off the month by dropping its second-quarter financial results on the first day of September. The numbers looked incredible.
Vehicle deliveries surged 49%, and revenue jumped 69% year-over-year to RMB 32.1 billion ($4.7 billion). Volumes grew across all three of its brands: Nio, Onvo, and Firefly. The company's operating losses shrank 93% year-over-year to $51.2 million.
With those numbers, Nio's shares should have skyrocketed. Instead, they fell more than 10% in that week. Blame the earnings call.
Management revealed that rising prices for memory chips, batteries, and other materials had added about RMB 14,000 to the cost of every single car built since late last year. Management expects a further RMB 2,000-3,000 increase in the second half of 2026.
Analysts from JPMorgan (JPM +0.47%) were quick to downgrade Nio stock to neutral from overweight and slash its price target from $7 to $4.50 per share. Rising production costs amid intensifying competition in China could make it harder for Nio to pass costs to consumers.

The EV stock took a bigger hit after the Geely deal on Sept. 28. Geely is a major Chinese automotive conglomerate that owns a massive global portfolio of brands, including Volvo (OTC:VOLVF), Polestar (PSNY -0.94%), Zeekr, and Lotus.
Geely will pay mostly with its own commercial swap business (Yiyi Power) and about $95 million in cash to acquire a 30% stake in Nio Power. In return, Nio gets a 10% equity stake in Geely's charging arm, Haohan Energy, to link their charging networks.
The Geely deal is big. Is it time to buy Nio?NIO enters the second half of 2026 with a strong product lineup and financial muscle (it ended Q2 with cash, cash equivalents, and deposits of nearly $8.4 billion).
Its flagship ES8 and ES9 SUVs continue to lead China's premium market above RMB 350,000. The ONVO brand leads large mid-market SUVs, while the third brand, Firefly, has dominated the market for high-end small cars for 15 straight months.
The Geely deal will also expand Nio Power's commercial reach since it will provide battery-swapping services for the new consumer-facing models Geely develops.
The payoff, however, will take time to show up, and Nio investors already seem to be running out of patience. Part of the frustration stems from Nio's September delivery numbers, which came out on Oct. 1: deliveries grew only 7.7% from a year earlier to 37,408 vehicles. Management has set a fourth-quarter target to average over 40,000 deliveries per month.
Two events will next reveal whether Nio closes that gap. October deliveries land in early November, and Q3 numbers will show whether the company can hold its vehicle margins despite higher costs.
Geely získá 30% podíl v NIO Power, což společnost NIO oceňuje na zhruba 2,4 miliardy USD. Dohoda má urychlit ziskovost její sítě výměny baterií a rozšířit její využití.
Nio's (NIO -0.88%) battery swap network has always been intriguing and a bit controversial to investors. If people see value in the speed of swapping batteries and using battery-as-a-service, a built-out network would be a huge competitive advantage and would unlock a higher-margin business. However, if they find it just as fast and simple to charge vehicles at a fast-charging network, Nio's battery swapping stations could turn into a big waste of time, effort, and, of course, capital.
All that said, the game just completely changed with the announcement that Geely is "buying" into Nio's battery swap network. Here are the details, and what investors have to know.
The fine print Nio recently announced that a Geely Holding subsidiary, assuming regulatory approval, will soon hold a 30% stake in NIO Power, Nio's subsidiary that runs its battery swapping network. While the deal values NIO Power at roughly $2.4 billion, Geely is mostly avoiding cash outflows. Instead, it's contributing its own commercial battery swap business (Yiyi Internet Technology) and about $94 million for the 30% stake in NIO Power. In a second transaction, Nio is purchasing a 10% stake in Haohan Energy, which is Geely's charging business.
This development does a couple of positive things for Nio and its investors.
Image source: Nio.
First, adding a massive automaker such as Geely to Nio's battery swap network accelerates its path to profitability. Simply put, Nio doesn't have the volume of vehicles on the road needing battery swaps to use swap stations to a breakeven level. It's been estimated that each station needs to average about 60 battery swaps a day to break even. While utilization rates appear to be improving, Nio doesn't consistently disclose the information.
Second, Nio purchasing a 10% stake in Geely's Haohan Energy immediately opens access to Geely's ultra-fast megawatt charging technology, without Nio needing to fork out massive research and development spending to build its own version. Nio and Geely intend to fully connect their charging infrastructure.
Lastly -- and this might be the big takeaway -- this makes vehicles cheaper for Geely customers to purchase upfront, because it can now use Nio's battery-as-a-service model that takes the battery off the invoice. It's also a huge step for Nio to become the "gold standard" for China's battery standards.
Nio is trying to make its battery swap network profitable with a user base pooled from its 1.26 million cumulative vehicle sales. Bringing in a partner such as Geely that can eventually work Nio's battery swap specifications into its vehicles would drastically increase its potential user base and strengthen Nio's ability to lower battery swap station overhead and improve margins.
In fact, if Nio continues getting automakers to buy into its battery standards, allowing non-Nio vehicles to use the charging stations, it could open the door to the more than 370 million vehicles in use in China, per China's Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Commerce.

The three-way war Whether Nio's battery swap network turns into a massive competitive advantage -- perhaps even evolving into a higher-margin business that becomes more lucrative than its traditional vehicle sales business over the next two decades -- or whether the network turns into a poorly utilized black hole of profits comes down to which technology and strategy wins. The positions are becoming entrenched among Nio and Geely's unified battery-swapping ecosystem, CATL's independent "Choco-Swap" network, and BYD Co.'s gamble on its ultra-fast megawatt flash-charging stations.
For investors, while this transaction won't load Nio's coffers with cash, or directly split costs of developing its battery swapping network, bringing Geely vehicle owners into the ecosystem unlocks massive potential. It's also much closer to becoming the standard for battery swaps in China. That could one day be a brilliant and lucrative victory.
NIO ve 3. čtvrtletí dodal 109 178 vozů, meziročně o 25,4 % více, a splnil svůj výhled na 108 000 až 111 000 kusů. Růst ale během čtvrtletí zpomalil a v září klesl na 7,7 % meziročně.
Key Takeaways NIO delivered 109,178 vehicles in Q3 2026, up 25.4% year over year and within its guidance range.NIO's vehicle margin climbed to 18.5% in Q2, helped by higher-margin products and lower costs.NIO faces slowing monthly delivery growth, rising input costs, high debt and weaker earnings estimates. China’s electric vehicle (EV) company NIO Inc. (NIO - Free Report) delivered 109,178 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, up 25.4% year over year and within its own guided range of 108,000-111,000 units. Third-quarter deliveries consisted of 62,500 units from the NIO brand, 27728 units from the ONVO brand and 18,950 from Firefly. Cumulative deliveries as of Sept. 30, 2026 totaled 1,297,893 units.
Meanwhile, growth at close peers XPeng (XPEV - Free Report) and Li Auto (LI - Free Report) was less impressive. XPeng’s third-quarter deliveries came in at 118,390 units, marking a 2% increase from year-ago quarter deliveries. In contrast, Li Auto reported 99,964 deliveries in the September quarter, up 7.2% from the corresponding quarter of 2025.
While NIO’s delivery growth stands out, let’s look beyond the headline numbers to assess whether the stock is truly a buy at current levels.
NIO's Product Lineup Driving GrowthNIO's growth is being buoyed by its newer and upgraded vehicle models, with two flagship SUVs leading the way.
The ES8 reached 150,000 cumulative deliveries on Sept. 20, exactly one year after its launch. During the year, it topped sales among large SUVs and among all vehicles priced above RMB 400,000. The ES9 began deliveries on May 28 and crossed 30,000 units on Sept. 23, 2026. It has also been the best-selling battery electric vehicle priced above RMB 500,000 for three months in a row. These models are strengthening NIO's standing in the premium electric SUV segment.
NIO also reaches a broader range of customers at different price levels through its three brands— NIO, ONVO and Firefly.
NIO’s Profitability ImprovingNIO's profitability has strengthened as it sells more vehicles and a larger share of them are higher-end models. Its vehicle margin rose to 18.5% in the second quarter of 2026, up from 10.3% in the same quarter last year. This gain came from selling more high-margin products and from lower costs.
Management plans to hold the vehicle margin close to the second-quarter 2026 level through the third and fourth quarters, even though material costs are expected to rise further. The company also expects both operating cash flow and free cash flow to be positive in each of these two quarters.
NIO's Battery Swapping Network ExpandsNIO and Geely Automobile (GELHY - Free Report) have agreed to combine their charging and battery-swapping networks, with each company taking a stake in the other. As part of the deal, Geely will launch more electric models that work with shared swapping standards, with NIO providing support.
NIO Power has set a target of running 10,000 battery-swapping stations worldwide by 2030. At that scale, its yearly electricity use is expected to go beyond 10 billion kWh.
The company is already building on a solid base. When it passed 100 million total swaps in February, it had 3,790 swapping stations, and it plans to open another 1,000 this year. Earlier in 2026, it also set a one-day record of 175,976 battery swaps.
NIO's Road Isn't All SmoothBeneath the strong headline deliveries, investors should note that delivery growth slowed sharply as the third quarter progressed. Year-over-year growth was 71% in July, then fell to 14.5% in August and 7.7% in September.
Additionally, rising input costs could squeeze margins. Management aims to keep the vehicle margin near the second-quarter level, but achieving that will depend on how well the company manages sourcing and its product mix.
NIO's debt also remains high, with long-term debt-to-capitalization at about 82%.
Earnings estimates are moving in the wrong direction as well. Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for NIO's 2026 loss per share has widened by 3 cents to 13 cents. The 2027 estimate still points to a return to profit, but the consensus EPS figure has dropped from 9 cents to 5 cents over the same period.

NIO’s Price Performance & ValuationYear to date, shares of NIO have fallen roughly 33%, wider than the industry’s decline of 18%. However, shares of Li Auto and XPeng have also underperformed the industry, sliding 33% and 53%, respectively, during the same time frame.

From a valuation perspective, NIO currently trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.39, below the industry’s 0.57.

Our TakeNIO's third-quarter deliveries, new product momentum, improving margins and expanding swapping network make a strong case. But slowing monthly year-over-year growth over the third quarter, elevated debt, rising costs and falling earnings estimates keep the risks real.
The third-quarter earnings report will be the key test. It should show whether margins held near the second-quarter level. Management's commentary on fourth-quarter deliveries will indicate whether the slowdown seen in August and September is temporary or a sign of weaker demand ahead.
Until then, the risk-reward looks balanced at best. Existing shareholders can stay put, but new investors would be better off waiting for the results and clearer fourth-quarter guidance.

More NIO News Here are the key news stories impacting NIO this week:
Positive Sentiment: NIO agreed to sell Geely a 30% stake in NIO Power in exchange for Geely’s Yiyi Power unit and RMB640 million in cash. The resulting battery-swapping joint venture could broaden NIO’s infrastructure utilization, reduce duplicated investment and open its network to Geely vehicles and other brands. What Does NIO Gain From Selling 30% of NIO Power? Nio Sells a 30% Stake in Its Battery Swapping Arm to Geely Positive Sentiment: The deal strengthens NIO’s case that its battery-swap network could become a broader industry platform rather than an infrastructure system serving only NIO cars. Analysts are also evaluating whether the transaction supports a higher fair value for the company. NIO After the Geely Battery Deal and the Case for a Higher Fair Value Neutral Sentiment: NIO reported strong second-quarter scale, including 107,658 deliveries, RMB32.1 billion in revenue and an 18.5% vehicle margin. However, it still recorded a GAAP net loss of RMB528 million. August deliveries rose 14.5% year over year to 35,836, but growth slowed sharply from July, prompting questions about demand momentum. Negative Sentiment: Investors viewed the sale as potentially dilutive and questioned whether NIO is giving up part of a valuable strategic asset after investing more than RMB20 billion in charging and swapping infrastructure. The transaction also did not immediately resolve concerns about losses, intense Chinese EV competition or the company’s ability to convert infrastructure growth into sustainable profits. NIO Stock Hits 52-Week Low: What’s Happening? Negative Sentiment: The market reaction reflects caution ahead of third-quarter earnings: the strategic partnership may improve long-term efficiency, but investors are prioritizing near-term profitability and delivery trends.

Nio reaguje na novou dohodu s Geely o výměně baterií a nabíjení, která oceňuje tuto divizi na 2,4 miliardy USD. Trh zároveň čeká na dodávky ve 3. čtvrtletí v rozmezí 108 000 až 111 000 vozů, tedy meziroční růst o 25 %.
Buy NIO for a delivery-and-deal catalyst bounce. The article flags Q3 deliveries (108k–111k, +25% YoY) and a battery-swapping/charging deal with Geely that gives NIO a clearer path to scale its infrastructure. Fundamentals are less weak than peers: revenue +80% QoQ, vehicle margin 18.5% (above Tesla), and $8.4B cash. Technicals also point to a tradable bottom (MACD bullish crossover, RSI off oversold).
Key Risk: Q3 deliveries miss the 108k–111k range and the Geely deal fails to translate into near-term demand or margins.
Chinese EV basket (sell)
Sell the weakest momentum in the China EV complex via short exposure to Xpeng (and/or Polestar) because the article shows broad de-rating: Xpeng down ~60% YTD, Li Auto down sharply, Polestar down ~70%, and BYD “freefall” amid intensifying competition and incentive removal. NIO is singled out as relatively better positioned; that makes the rest of the group the crowded downside trade.
Key Risk: Policy support or a sudden demand rebound lifts the whole sector, squeezing shorts as investors stop differentiating between winners and losers.
Nio stock price remains in a bear market this month as concerns about the Chinese EV industry continue. It dropped to $3.50 last week, its lowest level since July last year and 55% from its highest point this year. The focus now is in a major deal between Nio and Geely, one of the top automakers in China.
The ongoing Nio stock retreat has coincided with that of other top Chinese companies. Xpeng stock dropped to $10.12 on Friday, down by over 60% from the year-to-date high and its lowest level since September 2024. It has dropped by 76% in the last five years.
Li Auto also dropped to $11.50 from the year-to-date high of $20, while Polestar fell to $6.93, down by 70% from its peak this year. Most notably, BYD, the biggest automaker in China, has also been in a freefall this year.
These stocks are falling as investors assess the industry’s growth trajectory amid intensifying competition and as the Chinese government removes some incentives. In a statement when releasing its numbers, BYD said that the industry was getting highly competitive, while the cost of doing business was soaring.
Nio, on the other hand, has been in a better position than other Chinese EV companies. Its revenue growth has continued, driven by its unit sales. Its last earnings report showed that its vehicle deliveries rose to 107,658 from 72,056 in the same period last year.
Nio’s vehicle revenue jumped to $4.28 billion, up by 80% from the second quarter. Its vehicle margin also rose to 18.5%, higher than Tesla’s 16.3%. As a result, its gross profit rose to $870 million. Its net loss came in at $77.8 million, driven by share-based compensation. Nio also has a strong balance sheet, with its cash and equivalents rising to over $8.4 billion.
Looking ahead, the next important data to watch will be its September and Q3 delivery numbers that comes out later this week. It has guided to its Q3 deliveries coming at between 108,000 and 111,000, representing a 25% annual growth.

Nio stock is also reacting to a new deal with Geely Holdings on its battery swapping and charging business. This deal will see Yiyi Internet, which Geely owns, own about 30% stake in Nio’s battery swapping business. It values the business at $2.4 billion.
Nio stock chart | Source: TradingView
The daily chart shows that Nio shares have been in a strong downward trend in the past few months, moving from a high of $7 in April to the current $3.58. It has consistently made a series of lower lows in this period.
It also plunged below the crucial support level of $4.37, its lowest level in February and the psychological level of $4. On the positive side, there are signs that the stock is bottoming out.
The two lines of the MACD indicator have formed a bullish crossover, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has jumped above the oversold level. Therefore, while the bearishness may continue, there is a likelihood that the stock will bounce back, potentially to the key resistance level of $4.37.
NIO uzavřelo s Geely Holding Group definitivní dohody o strategické transakci v oblasti výměny baterií a nabíjení. Geely získá 30,0 % podíl v NIO Power při ocenění zhruba 16 miliard RMB.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO; HKEX: 9866; SGX: NIO) (“NIO” or the “Company”), a pioneer and a leading company in the global smart electric vehicle market, today announced the entry into definitive agreements with certain subsidiaries of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely Holding Group”) in connection with a strategic transaction in battery swapping and charging businesses.
Pursuant to the definitive agreements, subject to regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions, a subsidiary of Geely Holding Group will use (i) its holding of 100% of the equity interest of Yiyi Internet Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Geely Holding Group that provides battery swapping services for the commercial mobility market, plus (ii) RMB640 million in cash as consideration to subscribe for newly issued equity interest of NIO Energy Investment (Hubei) Co., Ltd. (“NIO Power”), a subsidiary of NIO that operates battery swapping and charging businesses. Upon completion of the transaction, the Geely Holding Group subsidiary will hold 30.0% of NIO Power’s total equity interest, NIO Holding Co., Ltd. (“NIO China”), a subsidiary of NIO, will continue to hold a controlling equity interest of 63.6%, and an existing investor, Wuhan Guangchuang Emerging Technology Phase I Venture Capital Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership), will hold the remaining 6.4%. The transaction values NIO Power at a post-money valuation of approximately RMB16 billion.
The equity interest held by the subsidiary of Geely Holding Group is subject to post-closing adjustments tied to certain operational milestones, pursuant to which the equity interest may be reduced to no less than 20% in the event of underperformance. The subsidiary was also granted an option, exercisable within the earlier of two years following closing of this transaction and the date when NIO Power enters into binding agreements for a new round of financing, to make a further cash investment of RMB640 million into NIO Power which, without considering any post-closing adjustment, would result in its equity interest in NIO Power being 34.0% and NIO China’s controlling equity interest being 60.0%.
Concurrently with the NIO Power transaction, subject to regulatory clearances and other customary closing conditions, NIO China has agreed to subscribe for newly issued equity interest of Zhejiang Haohan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Haohan Energy”), a subsidiary of Geely Holding Group that operates a battery charging business, with cash consideration which will be used to purchase certain charging assets from NIO. Upon completion of the transaction, NIO China will hold 10.0% of Haohan Energy’s total equity interest.
In addition, NIO and Geely Holding Group have made preliminary plans for the adoption of battery swapping technology and provision of related services for both consumer-facing vehicle models and commercial mobility businesses from Geely Holding Group’s related entities. The finalization and implementation of these plans are subject to further discussions between the relevant parties.
The transactions and initiatives outlined above reflect industry recognition of NIO’s battery swapping technologies, network and operational capabilities. Through strategic collaboration with industry players, NIO expects to further promote the adoption of battery swapping, continuously enhance user experience, accelerate the growth of electric vehicle penetration and further unlock the long-term value of battery swapping.

NIO v pátek před otevřením trhu vzrostlo o 3,07 % na 3,69 USD po měsíčním propadu o více než 20 % tržní hodnoty. Firma zároveň oznámila tržby 32,14 mld. RMB a dodávky 35 836 vozů v srpnu.
Shares of NIO Inc – ADR (NYSE:NIO) are edging higher Friday morning, attempting a bounce stabilization after a steep decline that has wiped out over 20% of the company’s market value over the past month.
NIO shares are trending higher. What’s driving NIO shares up? Macro Rate Pressure and Stronger Dollar Weigh on Recent PerformanceThe broader sell-off across Chinese EV makers has been compounded by macroeconomic headwinds. August’s hotter-than-expected U.S. payrolls report increased expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates at its next meeting.
A stronger U.S. dollar, higher global borrowing costs, and surging crude oil benchmarks continue to reduce investor appetite for high-growth, speculative, and international equities, capping upside for the sector despite brief bounces.
Q2 Earnings Highlight Delivery Acceleration and Margin ExpansionDespite the sharp monthly stock pullback, NIO’s underlying fundamentals have shown operational progress, backed by second-quarter 2026 financial results released on September 1.
Total revenues reached RMB 32.14 billion ($4.74 billion), up 69.1% year-over-year, driven by 107,658 quarterly vehicle deliveries across its flagship NIO brand alongside its newer ONVO and FIREFLY lineups.
Vehicle gross margin expanded significantly to 18.5% from 10.3% in second-quarter 2025, helping narrow net losses by 89.4% year-over-year to RMB 0.5 billion and marking the company’s third consecutive quarter of adjusted net profitability.
August Delivery Milestone Underpins Q3 Production TargetsProviding additional fundamental support, NIO also announced on September 1 that it delivered 35,836 vehicles in August 2026, representing a 14.5% year-over-year increase and pushing cumulative lifetime deliveries to 1.26 million.
Supported by RMB 56.7 billion ($7.8 billion) in cash reserves as of June 30, management reaffirmed third-quarter delivery guidance of 108,000 to 111,000 units as it continues scaling production across its multi-brand platform.
NIO Stock Edges Higher FridayNIO Price Action: Nio shares were up 3.07% at $3.69 during premarket trading on Friday. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $3.57, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Akcie Nio za poslední měsíc klesly o 25 % a obchodují se pod cílovou cenou 4,50 USD od J.P. Morgan. Pokles spustily slabší tržby a výhled na 3. čtvrtletí 2026, i když dodávky dál rostou.
Nio's shares have shed a quarter of their value in a single month, falling below a freshly cut analyst target even as delivery records keep piling up. The gap between what the volume numbers promise and what investors are willing…
Shares of Nio (NYSE:NIO | NIO Price Prediction) are extending losses on Thursday afternoon, with the stock down 3% to $3.61. The move takes Nio’s past-month decline to 25% and leaves the shares trading below the $4.50 price target J.P. Morgan set on September 2 alongside its downgrade of NIO stock.
The slide dates to the company’s Q2 2026 earnings on September 1. Nio’s revenue came in short of consensus, and management’s outlook for the current quarter landed below where investors wanted it, even as August deliveries stayed strong. Retail sentiment sat near record lows heading into the print, and Nio stock was already well off its 52-week high of $8.02.
The setup for the past month tells the story cleanly. Nio’s volume growth is real, but the market has decided the pricing environment is worse than the delivery ramp implies, and it has repriced the shares to match.
Earnings Miss Triggers the Slide Nio delivered 107,658 vehicles in Q2 2026, up 49.4% year over year (YoY), with total revenue of RMB 32.1 billion, up 69.1% YoY. Management posted non-GAAP operating profit, positive free cash flow, and grew cash reserves to RMB 56.7 billion. Nio’s GAAP EPS of -$0.04 also beat the -$0.141 consensus, and the U.S. GAAP net loss for the first half narrowed sharply to RMB 860 million from RMB 11.74 billion a year earlier.
The problem was the top line coming up short of consensus and Q3 2026 guidance failing to reset expectations. August deliveries of 35,836 vehicles kept the volume story intact, and the third-generation ES8 has cleared 140,000 cumulative units, with the latest 10,000 built in 30 days. The soft outlook and revenue miss were enough for J.P. Morgan to downgrade Nio the following day and set a $4.50 target that the shares have since fallen through.
Volumes Grow While Revenue Lags The tension inside the quarter is what makes the sell question hard. Nio’s Q2 vehicle gross margin came in at 18.5% versus 10.3% a year earlier, and management said the ES8 and ES9 each carry vehicle margins above 20%. CEO William Li told analysts the company “did not lower the price in exchange for the sales volume,” pointing instead to material and chip cost inflation that added an average of RMB 14,000 per car in Q2 versus late Q4 of the prior year.
On the bull side, first-half 2026 sales volume rose 67% YoY, revenue climbed 86%, and gross profit jumped 282%, evidence that mix and margin are moving in the right direction. Management said roughly three quarters of ES9 users came from outside the existing Nio community, suggesting the flagship is expanding the brand’s reach rather than cannibalizing owners.
Nio is targeting Q4 2026 volume of over 40,000 units per month and medium-term annual growth of 40% to 50%. Whether that delivery momentum finally converts into the revenue investors want will decide the stock from here. Continued pricing and margin pressure across China’s EV market could keep target cuts rolling, and the ES9 waitlist stretching more than three months for certain trims doesn’t fully offset the revenue-per-vehicle question.
Peers Held Up Better Rival XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) stock is down 13% over the past month to $10.39, a much shallower decline than Nio despite its own soft Q3 revenue outlook. XPeng’s Q2 non-GAAP EPS of -$0.19 beat the -$0.765 consensus and cushioned the reaction.
U.S. peer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is down 2% to $16.10 over the same window, barely moving as the R2 ramp continues after 12,194 Q2 deliveries and 2026 guidance of 65,000 to 70,000 vehicles. The Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:DRIV) is down 5% over the past month.
For the bigger-picture context, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is down 2% over the same stretch. The broader EV theme and the broad market both held up far better than Nio stock, framing this move as company-specific with a regional overlay.
What to Watch September delivery data and any follow-up analyst commentary after the J.P. Morgan cut could set the next leg for Nio stock. If the Q4 target of over 40,000 units per month starts to show up in monthly numbers, the case for stabilization firms up quickly given how far the shares have already fallen.
Investors sizing new exposure here may want to keep an eye on whether Q3 revenue tracks toward management’s guide before scaling into their positions. Nio stock may trade at a reasonable price point now, especially if the revenue miss proves to be a one-quarter event rather than the start of a trend.

Investors have been closely watching Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NIO -2.20%) for signs of progress toward profitability. Record-breaking EV deliveries late last year had it on the right path.
But its latest quarterly report showed it took a small step back in Q2. That led to a stock sell-off this week, with shares down about 14% as of late Friday morning, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Nio reported revenue increased 69% year over year in the second quarter. It was also a 26% boost sequentially over the first quarter. But the loss from operations actually increased slightly compared to the first quarter. While both were still massive improvements compared to the year-ago periods, investors want to see the move to actual income from operations.
That could still be coming soon. As shown in the chart below, Nio continues to grow EV deliveries, with 14.5% year-over-year growth in August.
Data source: Nio. Chart by the author.
That bodes well for Q3 as long as cost increases don't outpace sales growth. Component costs as well as fierce competition in China and Europe have been headwinds for the company and other EV makers.
This week's dip in the stock could be a good entry point if the company achieves profitability over the next year.
Howard Smith has positions in Nio. The Motley Fool has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
J.P. Morgan just praised Nio's quarter and punished the stock at the same time, and the reason behind that split verdict is reshaping how investors see the entire China EV sector.

Shares of Nio (NYSE:NIO | NIO Price Prediction) are down 4% to $3.92 in early Wednesday trading after J.P. Morgan cut the stock to Neutral from Overweight and lowered its price target to $4.50 from $7.00. The move stands out because the research note credits the company’s execution and blames the market it sells into.
The peer group is lower by a fraction of that move. XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) is down 1% to $11.02, and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) is down 1% to $11.78. For contrast, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is up 0.1% to $762.48, so the broader market trades essentially flat while the China EV complex leaks lower and Nio drops by several times the peer group’s move.
Nio reported its Q2 2026 results earlier this week, and today’s action is the analyst response to that same report rather than a new disclosure from the company. The downgrade lands after the print, not alongside it, which shapes how the tape is digesting the news.
Rating Cut and $4.50 Target J.P. Morgan cited sluggish demand in China’s passenger-vehicle market, intensifying price competition, and limited overseas exposure as constraints on Nio’s earnings upside. The firm cut its 2026 and 2027 revenue estimates by 5% and 9%, and its adjusted earnings forecasts by 13% and 52%.
The bank now models an adjusted net loss of 2.34 billion yuan in 2026 and 975 million yuan in 2027, against prior forecasts of a 512 million yuan loss and a 2.52 billion yuan profit. It forecasts 430,000 deliveries in 2026 and 480,000 in 2027, growth of 32% and 12%, and expects China passenger-vehicle demand to be flat to down 5% in 2027.
Among Chinese automakers, the firm said it continues to prefer BYD and Geely on stronger earnings resilience, broader portfolios and greater overseas growth. Xiaomi and Zeekr were named among the rivals crowding the premium segment Nio’s newer models are entering.
Why the Firm Still Praised the Quarter The pivot in the research note is that J.P. Morgan said Nio’s Q2 results came in moderately ahead of its own estimates, and highlighted sustained profitability, resilient vehicle margins and improving free cash flow. Nio’s vehicle gross margin reached 18.5% in the quarter.
The concern centers on cost pressure heading into the second half. Management forecasts another 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per vehicle increase in costs in the second half, mainly from batteries, memory chips and other materials, and J.P. Morgan flagged that a weak pricing environment could make those costs hard to pass on.
That framing matters for how investors size the risk. A rating cut driven by end-market weakness tends to weigh on the whole sector, while a cut driven by company-specific execution problems tends to concentrate the pain in one name. Today’s action shows the market treating this note as a hybrid, punishing Nio hardest but pulling XPeng and Li Auto down modestly alongside it.
How the Chinese EV Peers Held Up XPeng stock and Li Auto stock are both easing today rather than dropping, which fits a downgrade aimed at one name rather than at the whole group. J.P. Morgan grouped XPeng and Li Auto among the rivals crowding the premium segment Nio’s newer models are entering, alongside BYD, Geely, Xiaomi and Zeekr.
Year to date through Tuesday’s close, Nio stock was down 20%, XPeng stock was down 45%, and Li Auto stock was down 30%. That is the tension in the story. The least-damaged of the three names this year is the one drawing the rating cut, on an industry call rather than a company call.
What to Watch The unresolved question for Nio is whether it can hold vehicle margin through the second-half cost increases without cutting price into a flat China market. Vehicle gross margin at 18.5% is the number that has to stand up if the profitability story is going to survive the demand-side headwinds J.P. Morgan flagged.
For investors who own Nio stock, keeping their position sizing modest makes sense while shares digest a downgrade that reset the firm’s multi-year earnings model into loss territory. Watch for management commentary on pricing discipline and any early read on Q3 delivery mix as the ES9 and ES8 continue ramping into the fourth quarter.

NIO ve 2. čtvrtletí udrželo marži vozidel na 18,5 % a čeká pozitivní provozní i volný peněžní tok ve 3. i 4. čtvrtletí. Cílí také na průměrné měsíční dodávky vozů nad 40 000 ve 4. čtvrtletí.
Key Takeaways NIO held Q2 vehicle margin at 18.5% and aims to keep it near that level through Q4 despite higher costs.NIO targets Q4 average monthly deliveries above 40,000 after guiding Q3 deliveries to 108,000-111,000.NIO expects positive operating and free cash flow in Q3 and Q4 while keeping 2026 capex at RMB6B-RMB7B. NIO Inc. (NIO - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to stress margin resilience, cash generation and a higher-volume fourth-quarter target despite rising input costs.
NIO reported a loss of $0.04 per ADS compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a $0.07 loss, a 42.9% surprise. Revenues of $4.7364 billion missed the consensus mark of $4.7806 billion by 0.9%.
NIO Targets Stable Margins Despite Cost PressureChief financial officer Stanley Qu said vehicle margin held at 18.5% in the second quarter as input costs rose about RMB14,000 per vehicle compared with late 2025.
CFO Qu expects material costs to rise another RMB2,000 to RMB3,000 in the second half. Management still aims to keep vehicle gross margin around the second-quarter level in both the third and fourth quarters.
Responding to a UBS analyst, CEO Bin Li said the ES8 and ES9 each carry vehicle margins above 20%, while supply-chain negotiations and product-level cost work remain central to profitability.
NIO Sets a Higher Q4 Volume TargetNIO guided third-quarter deliveries to 108,000 to 111,000 vehicles and revenues to RMB33.285 billion to RMB34.051 billion, representing revenue growth of 52.7% to 56.2% year over year.
During the HSBC Q&A, CEO Li said NIO expects the passenger vehicle market to recover in the fourth quarter and targets average monthly deliveries above 40,000 units.
For the mid and long term, CEO Li said the company is targeting annual volume growth of about 40% to 50%, supported by its products and sales service coverage.
NIO Leans on Flagship SUVs for Mix SupportA Deutsche Bank analyst pressed management on the durability of ES8 and ES9 demand. CEO Li said the ES8 delivered about 10,099 units in August and was on track to pass 150,000 cumulative deliveries in September.
CEO Li added that ES9 buyers face waits of roughly three to four months. About three-quarters of ES9 users are new to the NIO community.
The flagship models also matter to economics. In the UBS exchange, CEO Li identified the ES8 and ES9 as major contributors to product mix and vehicle margin.
NIO Keeps ONVO Focused on Premium FamiliesA Morgan Stanley analyst questioned ONVO's slower order momentum relative to NIO and FIREFLY. CEO Li acknowledged heavier competition in ONVO's segment but said conversion from sales leads to orders was good.
CEO Li identified brand awareness as the bigger constraint. NIO plans to expand Sky stores, deepen targeted offline engagement and add another major ONVO product next year.
CEO Li said ONVO will retain its premium, family-oriented positioning rather than push aggressively into entry-level pricing. The company intends to balance volume with vehicle gross margin.
NIO Preserves Cash While Funding Core PrioritiesCFO Qu said full-year capital spending should remain roughly flat from 2025 at RMB6 billion to RMB7 billion, focused on product development and the sales and service network rather than major factory capacity.
NIO still plans 1,000 new swap stations this year, but CFO Qu said new infrastructure is expected to be funded by Power Up partners. Management also expects positive operating and free cash flow in both the third and fourth quarters.
CFO Qu said non-GAAP R&D spending should run about RMB2.5 billion per quarter. Non-GAAP SG&A is expected at roughly 10% to 11% of second-half revenues after about RMB500 million of launch-related one-time costs in the second quarter.
NIO Frames 2026 Around Disciplined GrowthManagement centered the outlook on sustaining growth without broad price cuts to chase volume. CEO Li and CFO Qu tied execution to premium positioning, product mix and cost optimization.
The company maintained its battery-electric vehicle strategy and continued expanding charging and swapping infrastructure while seeking capital efficiency through partnerships.
The operating framework is to defend margins, preserve positive cash generation and scale deliveries through a broader three-brand portfolio.
Zacks Rank and Style Scores SignalNIO currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Under the Zacks framework, top-ranked stocks paired with favorable Style Scores have stronger near-term performance potential, and NIO has a Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of B and VGM Score of A.
Its Value Score of C is less favorable than its other style readings, while the VGM Score of A reflects a strong combined profile. The Zacks Rank can change as analyst earnings estimates are revised following the newly reported results.
NIO u značky Firefly v roce 2027 zachová strategii jediného modelu, ale přidá speciální edice a technologické upgrady. CEO William Li to přirovnal k iPhonu.
NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) CEO William Li, during the second-quarter 2026 earnings call on Tuesday, said that the company plans to maintain a single-model strategy for its Firefly EV brand in 2027 while rolling out special editions and technology upgrades.
An iPhone-like ApproachLi, during the earnings call with investors, was asked about product cycle refreshes for the upcoming year. The CEO said that the NIO brand will introduce new models in the 5 and 6 series vehicles, while ONVO will introduce a “major strategic new product.”
Speaking about Firefly, Li took a different approach. “For the FIREFLY brand, we will keep this single model strategy, but keep rolling out special editions and also technology upgrades,” he said. Li likened the approach to the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone, “where it will stay in this same product, but with new additions.”
Battery SwappingLi also talked about Nio’s battery swapping stations, which can accommodate all three brands. He said that the cost of each fifth-generation station was approximately RMB 1.4 million (roughly $208,000). “We signed up with several OEMs regarding this power swap alliance, and we still have ongoing communications and also collaborations on some projects,” he said.

Li pointed towards the popularity of Robotaxis. “We see power swap station and power swap service,” he said, as a “good infrastructure support for the robotaxi business.” Nio was exploring partnerships in the sector, he outlined. As for the revenue structure from the battery swapping stations, Li said that there will be an “admission fee,” but said talks were ongoing.
Nio EarningsThe comments come as NIO reported revenue of RMB 32.14 billion (approximately $4.74 billion). The figure represents a 69.1% YoY growth for the automaker, while also being nearly 26% up from the previous quarter. However, the company missed analysts’ revenue estimates of $4.78 billion.
Trending
NIO’s year-to-date deliveries for the first eight months of the year came in at 262,893 vehicles. For Q2 2026, NIO delivered 107,658 units, which was up nearly 50%.

NIO stock is testing key support levels. Why are NIO shares at support?

Nio může po výsledcích za 2. čtvrtletí prudce vzrůst, pokud znovu oznámí čistý zisk. Předchozí čtvrtletní zisk 17,1 milionu USD už akcii okamžitě zvedl o 20 %.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have had a rough ride over the last two years in the U.S., with major carmakers like Ford and Honda curtailing EV production, or even canceling some EV models outright.
That stands in sharp contrast to the rest of the world, particularly China, where EV carmakers – juiced by government incentives and an opportunity to seize market share from dominant U.S. and European brands – are flourishing after years of early stage struggles.
One Chinese EV maker, Nio (NIO +0.23%), has been hit particularly hard over the last five years. But its upcoming earnings report could send the stock soaring.
Here's why Nio's upcoming earnings report could be a game changer for its shareholders.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
How Nio is differentAlthough battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) are cheaper to operate and maintain than gasoline or hybrid vehicles, there are two important metrics on which they aren't yet competitive with their fossil-fuel-powered brethren: cost and refueling time.
BEVs generally cost thousands of dollars more than comparable gas-powered vehicles or hybrids, and powering them to a full charge, even at a high-powered DC fast-charging station, takes 20 to 60 minutes, far longer than filling up at a gas station.
Nio has come up with a unique solution for these problems. Instead of including the batteries in the purchase price of a Nio vehicle, Nio allows buyers to subscribe to a "Battery-as-a-Service" feature for a monthly fee.

Paying the fee allows drivers to visit a special Nio "battery swap" station where they swap their depleted battery array for a fully charged one. The process takes only a few minutes, comparable to the time it takes to fill a gas tank.
This system allows Nio to advertise a lower sticker price for its vehicles and lock in a recurring revenue stream from the battery-swap service.
The only problem for Nio is that, for the battery swap service to be a viable option, it needs to build and maintain a network of battery swap stations, which entails high upfront costs.
Why Nio's earnings report is criticalNio's shares bottomed out at $3.14/share in early 2025. After it posted a quarterly net profit for the first time, the stock jumped to $6.87/share in April, but has since fallen back to $4.38/share, down 93% from its all-time high.

Despite the decline in its share price, Nio's trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue has skyrocketed this year to $14.3 billion.
That's because Nio's vehicle deliveries have been soaring. As of July 31, Nio had delivered 227,057 vehicles, a 68% increase from July 2025.
But revenue growth has never been a problem for Nio. Profitability has. Nio's TTM net losses had been moving in the wrong direction for almost a decade, hitting a low point of -$3.4 billion in Q3 2025.
Since then, the company has seen remarkable improvement in its bottom line. It even managed to squeak out a net profit of $17.1 million in Q4 2025, only to post a net loss again in Q1 2026.
That single quarter of net profit immediately caused a 20% jump in the company's stock price. Over the next several weeks, it continued to climb to a 45.6% gain. But the return to a net loss in Q1 had the exact opposite effect: an immediate plunge in share price, followed by months of declines.
If Nio's management announces a net profit in its Q2 earnings report on Tuesday, investors should expect the stock to immediately pop, just like it did in Q4.
Studie IGS pro Nio Strategic Metals potvrzuje silnou přítomnost niobu, fosfátu a dalších vzácných kovů v ložisku Oka a navrhuje zpracování koncentrátu mimo lokalitu s nižším dopadem na životní prostředí. Testy ukázaly 52,75 % Nb₂O₅ a 81,14% výtěžnost niobu.
Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2026) - Nio Strategic Metals Inc. (TSXV: NIO) (OTCQB: NIOCF) ("Nio" or the "Corporation"), a critical mineral exploration company, is pleased to announce the results of the metallurgical study, The sustainable and optimized development of niobium and other critical and strategic minerals (CSM) of the Oka deposit, which was prepared by IGS Impact Global Solutions ("IGS"), for the Centre technologique des résidus industriels ("CTRI") as part of the Éléments08 initiative. CTRI is a Rouyn-Noranda based applied research and technology transfer centre on industrial tailings.
In addition to confirming and characterizing the strong presence of niobium, phosphate and other rare metals, IGS provides an innovative solution to process the concentrate from the deposit in a remote location, thereby reducing the local environmental impact.
The study investigates the opportunity to maximize the recovery value of the mined concentrate by using hydrometallurgical extraction of rare earth elements ("REE"), niobium, tantalum and zirconium. IGS also recommends further tests to assess the monetization of phosphate while producing the pyrochlore concentrate, as samples of the historical resource have tested 4.29% P2O5 (see Table 1).
IGS tested 95 samples taken from historical drill cores of the S60 and HWM2 zones to create a composite sample representative of the historical resource (see Table 1). The significant presence of REE was confirmed in the zone targeted for mining. The results, summarized in Table 2, demonstrate that the total rare earth oxide ("TREO"), content is 0.507% TREO for the composite simulating that of the 2011 feasibility study (FSG) and 0.935% TREO for the composite (HGG) designated as high-grade in Nb₂O₅.
A high-grade Nb composite sample (HGG), prepared at CTRI, was sent to SGS for a mineralogical study performed using TIMA (Tescan Integrated Mineral Analyzer) and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA). Flotation test work performed on the metallurgical test composite delivered, in open circuit, a pyrochlore concentrate grading 52.75% niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) at a niobium recovery of 81.14% — a substantial improvement over the historical baseline of 44.5% Nb₂O₅ at 71.7% recovery established in the 2011 feasibility work. This was achieved with a markedly simpler flowsheet.
The concentrate additionally contained 11.75% TREO — of which approximately 83% is cerium oxide (CeO₂), 9% neodymium oxide (Nd₂O₃) and 3% praseodymium oxide (Pr₆O₁₁) — together with 1.5% zirconium (Zr), equivalent to 2.0% zirconium oxide (ZrO₂), and 0.4% tantalum (Ta), equivalent to 0.49% tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅). The full rare earth distribution of the concentrate is detailed in Table 3.
Michel Bourassa, founder of Soutex, commented, "these results demonstrate once again how the rock of the Oka deposit is rich in niobium and rare earths and, moreover, is amenable to various metallurgical treatment processes."
Bruno Dumais, President and Chief Operator Officer suggested that "The study points to a potential increase in the project's value by enabling a better niobium recovery; recovery of phosphate as a by-product (historically sent to tailings); and the extraction of REE that would otherwise be disregarded and lost in the slag."
Importantly, the new approach would minimize the environmental impact of the residues as the tests demonstrated it was possible to significantly reduce the thorium and uranium contents from 2,000 and 1,000 parts per million (ppm) to 824 and 120 ppm, respectively (see Table 4). This solution innovates in its approach, as well as provides a de-risking plan to rehabilitate the tailings on the old mining site.
The Corporation looks forward to communicating on the results of the CTRI sponsored study on water management and other environmental aspects of the sustainable development of the Oka deposit.

Nio v 1Q FY2026 zvýšilo hrubou marži na 19,0 % z 7,6 % a snížilo náklady na R&D o 40,7 % a SG&A o 20,5 %. Dodávky vzrostly meziročně o 98,3 % na 83 465 vozů.

The consensus story on Nio (NYSE:NIO | NIO Price Prediction) has been predictable for years: a cash-burning Chinese electric vehicle startup that was one funding round away from trouble. That narrative was not wrong. Full-year 2025 still produced a net loss of RMB 14.9 billion, and going-concern language appeared in the filings. The market still sees that company, even though the financials describe a different one.
The Cost Base Has Been Re-Engineered The Q1 FY2026 report tells the story. Gross margin came in at 19.0%, up from 7.6% a year earlier. Vehicle margin hit 18.8%, improving quarter-over-quarter for the fourth consecutive quarter. R&D expenses fell 40.7% year over year, and SG&A dropped 20.5%. CEO William Li noted that the “productivity or yield of RMB 2.0 billion in R&D investment is equivalent to perhaps RMB 3.5 billion in past years.”
Nio printed a GAAP net profit of RMB 282.7 million in Q4 2025. It then slipped back to a net loss of RMB 48.1 million in Q1, while holding non-GAAP adjusted operating profit of RMB 66.76 million. Li was direct: “For full-year 2026, our financial target is to achieve positive non-GAAP operating profit.” The trajectory points toward sustained profitability, though more remains to be proved.
Three Brands, Three Segments Q1 deliveries hit 83,465 units, up 98.3% year on year, split across the NIO brand (58,543), ONVO (13,339), and FIREFLY (11,583). The all-new ES8 reached its 100,000 delivery milestone in just 215 days, holding about 49.7% market share in its price segment. Q2 guidance calls for 110,000 to 115,000 vehicles. (For readers thinking about beaten-down growth names, our Winners You Already Missed report walks through the framework.)
Battery Swap: From Liability to Moat The 3,972 power swap stations and more than 29,200 chargers were long framed as capital expenditure sinkholes. Other-sales margin reached 20.6%, a four-year high. Li called services and community “at an inflection point and entering a new growth phase.” That is a recurring, higher-margin revenue engine and a switching cost.
The Risks Are Genuine Shares trade at $4.93, down 89.0% over five years. Reddit sentiment shows bearish scores of 22 to 23, anchored to a thread titled “Holding a 90%+ loser for 6 years.” Germany registrations collapsed 88% in H1 2026, ES8 unit costs rose roughly $2,950 on raw materials, and shareholders’ equity is a thin $626 million. Analyst sentiment is positive, and the $7.35 consensus target signals a 49% gain.
Real risks remain, but the market is still pricing a company that no longer matches its own income statement.

NIO v červnu doručil 40 597 vozů, meziročně o 62,9 % více, a nové ES9 dosáhlo 10 000 kumulativních dodávek za 30 dní od uvedení. Akcie byly ráno o 1,67 % výše na 4,85 USD.
NIO stock is showing upward movement. What’s driving NIO shares up? What Is Driving NIO’s Recent Delivery Momentum?NIO reported June deliveries of 40,597 vehicles (up 62.9% year over year) and Q2 deliveries of 107,658 (up 49.4%), with the new ES9 reaching 10,000 cumulative deliveries within 30 days of launch. The company also said cumulative deliveries totaled 1,188,715 as of June 30, and the All-New ES8 has now surpassed 120,000 cumulative deliveries.
China EV ADRs are also staying active as peers post their own delivery reads, including XPeng and Li Auto. Li Auto reported June deliveries of 30,895 (down 14.8%), a divergence traders often use for relative-momentum positioning across the group.
Li Auto’s footprint expansion to 495 retail stores and 4,097 supercharging stations is another competitive benchmark for NIO because it highlights how quickly rivals can scale distribution and charging access even when unit growth is softer. The move mirrors the broader China EV land-grab, which often leads NIO to trade more on execution and share signals than on the macro tape.
NIO Stock: Critical Levels To WatchEven with the premarket lift, NIO is still in a downtrend on the longer-term map: it’s trading 2.3% below the 20-day SMA ($4.99) and 14.7% below the 200-day SMA ($5.72), with the 20-day SMA also below the 50-day SMA. The "death cross" that formed in June (50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA) keeps the bigger-picture bias cautious until price can reclaim key averages.
Momentum is the more constructive part right now: MACD is above its signal line and the histogram is positive, which points to downside pressure easing versus the prior downswing. In plain terms, when MACD is above its signal line, it often means sellers are losing control even if price hasn’t fully flipped the trend yet.
Key Resistance: $5.00 — a nearby round-number level where rebounds can stall, sitting just above the current price and below the 20-day averages. What Is NIO and How Does It Compete?Nio is a leading electric vehicle maker, targeting the premium segment. Founded in November 2014, Nio designs, develops, jointly manufactures, and sells premium smart electric vehicles, and it tries to stand out with features like battery swapping and autonomous driving.
Its current lineup spans midsize to large sedans and SUVs, and it sold around 326,000 EVs in 2025—about 2% of China’s passenger new energy vehicle market. That’s why delivery updates can move the stock quickly: they’re one of the cleanest, most frequent signals on demand, mix, and competitive positioning.

Akcie Nio klesly pod klíčovou support úroveň a v New Yorku se dostaly na několikaměsíční minimum 4,88 USD, tedy 40 % pod letošním maximem, navzdory meziročnímu růstu dodávek o 62,9 % v červnu.
Nio stock price dropped below a crucial support level as demand for Chinese electric vehicle shares fell. It dropped to a multi-month low of $4.88 in New York, down by 40% from its highest point this year despite its strong delivery numbers.
Nio has emerged as one of the fastest-growing Chinese EV companies, helped by the traction of its newly launched vehicles.
Data released last week showed that its deliveries jumped by 62.9% YoY in June, bringing its second-quarter figure at 107,658. Its quarterly figure was about 50% higher than where it was last year.
Nio, its main brand, delivered 21,908 vehicles, while ONVO had 11,743. Firefly, the smaller brand delivered 6,946 vehicles during the month. This surge coincided with the launch of NIO WorldModel, which was installed to over 700k vehicles.
The ES9 model has now had over 120k deliveries, while ES9 sold 10,000 vehicles in 30 days, a sign that the brand is resonating with customers. In contrast, most Chinese EV companies like BYD, Li Auto, and XPeng continued to see weak growth.
Li Auto delivered 98,330 vehicles, representing an 11.5% annual decline. XPeng sold 103,295 vehicles, roughly unchanged from a year ago, while BYD delivered 1.1 million vehicles.
Therefore, the ongoing Nio stock plunge is likely happening as investors remain concerned about its growth trajectory. Also, there are concerns about its profitability growth. After reporting a net profit earlier this year, the recent earnings report showed that it made a $48 million loss in the first quarter.
Most of Nio’s metrics are doing well, especially in an industry that is facing substantial pressure. For example, despite the ongoing price war, the company’s gross profit margin rose to 18.8%, higher than many Chinese EV companies. This performance means that it may close the gap with Tesla, which has a margin of 21%.
Nio has other factors that could support its stock over the long term. For example, recent results showed that its research and development expenses declined by 40% year over year, mainly due to lower personnel costs. In addition, the company has largely completed the most capital-intensive phases of its R&D efforts, particularly in vehicle design and development.
Nio has also improved its balance sheet, with the amount of cash and equivalents rising to $7 billion. The management believes that it will not need to raise cash in the near term, which has been a source of concerns among investors.
Therefore, the recent weakness in Nio’s stock appears to be driven largely by fading investor enthusiasm for EV stocks rather than by deterioration in the company’s underlying business performance.

Technicals point to more weakness in the near term. It has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern, and most recently, it dropped below the neckline. Also, it dropped below the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has continued falling.
Therefore, the stock will likely remain under pressure because of the general sector weakness. This retreat may see it fall to the psychological level of $4. Its strong fundamentals may help it bounce back later this year.
Key Takeaways NIO delivered 40,597 vehicles in June, up 62.9% year over year, while Q2 deliveries rose 49.4%.NIO rolled out its WorldModel driving system to 700,000 users across third-party and in-house chips.NIO's ES9 hit 10,000 deliveries in 30 days, while the All-New ES8 topped 120,000 cumulative deliveries. NIO Inc. (NIO - Free Report) delivered 40,597 vehicles in June 2026, up 62.9% year over year. The total included 21,908 NIO-branded vehicles, 11,743 ONVO vehicles and 6,946 FIREFLY vehicles. For the second quarter, deliveries rose 49.4% from the prior-year period to 107,658 vehicles. As of June 30, 2026, the company's cumulative deliveries had reached 1,188,715 vehicles.
On June 18, 2026, NIO released the latest version of its WorldModel intelligent driving system to more than 700,000 users simultaneously. The update made NIO the first automaker to support synchronized development and deployment of intelligent driving software across both third-party and in-house chip platforms.
It also introduced an enhanced three-layer training architecture, combining a world model, supervised fine-tuning and closed-loop reinforcement learning, to improve performance in complex driving scenarios, deliver more human-like driving behavior and better balance safety and efficiency.
On June 22, 2026, cumulative deliveries of the All-New ES8 surpassed 120,000 units, underscoring its strong performance in China's premium vehicle segment priced above RMB 400,000. The All-New ES8 Five-Seat variant arrived in showrooms and entered presales on June 28, 2026, with the company expecting it to further strengthen the model's presence in the premium five-seat SUV market.
On June 26, 2026, the NIO ES9 reached 10,000 cumulative deliveries within 30 days of its launch on May 28, 2026, setting a new delivery record in China for premium battery electric vehicles priced above RMB 500,000.
NIO’s Zacks Rank & Other Key PicksNIO currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Some other top-ranked stocks in the auto space are Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) , China Yuchai International Limited (CYD - Free Report) and Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (PLOW - Free Report) , each sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CMI’s 2026 sales and earnings implies year-over-year growth of 10.6% and 23.3%, respectively. The EPS estimate for 2026 and 2027 has improved 35 cents and $1.04, respectively, over the past 30 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CYD’s 2026 sales and earnings implies year-over-year growth of 52.2% and 51%, respectively. The EPS estimate for 2026 has improved 15 cents over the past 30 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PLOW’s 2026 sales and earnings implies year-over-year growth of 16.7% and 31.4%, respectively. The EPS estimate for 2026 and 2027 has improved 39 cents and 29 cents, respectively, over the past 60 days.
Nio stock price dropped to a crucial support level this week as investors continued selling Chinese electric vehicle shares. It was trading at $5.05, and may be at risk of further downside after forming a risky chart pattern despite its strong revenue and delivery growth.
The weekly chart shows that Nio shares peaked at $7.95 in September 2025 and then pulled back to a low of $4.35. A closer look shows that the stock has slowly formed a head-and-shoulders pattern, a common bearish reversal sign in technical analysis. It is now trading along this pattern’s neckline.
The stock has slumped below the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and is about to fall below the Strong, Pivot, Reverse of the Murrey Math Lines tool of $4.70.
A break below the lower side of the H&S pattern points to more downside, potentially to the key support level of $3, its lowest level in April last year. If this happens, it will drop by about 40% below the current level.
On the other hand, a move above the right shoulder section of $7 will invalidate the bearish outlook and point to further gains ahead.

The ongoing Nio stock retreat mirrors that of other Chinese EV companies like Li Auto, XPeng, BYD, and Li Auto. All these stocks have plunged by double digits from their all-time highs.
The retreat has coincided with the recent decision by the Chinese government to start scaling down its EV subsidies, a move that will make them more expensive over time.
Most importantly, the Chinese market is now flooded with EVs and Internal Combustion Vehicles (ICE). A look at most EV companies, including Xiaomi, Geely, Polestar, and Tesla shows that they have boosted their output in the past few months.
Other companies in the ICE industry, like Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, and Dongfeng, have continued to boost their production. The implication of all this is that companies like Nio and Xpeng have been engaged in a price war, a trend that will continue in the foreseeable future.
Still, despite all this, Nio is one of the best-performing Chinese EV companies, with the most recent results showing that its deliveries rose by 62.3% in May to 37,705. Its YTD deliveries jumped by 68.7% to 150,526.
Most of its sales are still from its Nio brand, which jumped to 20,013, while 12,029 were from its ONVO brand. The management has admitted that it needs to do more work to boost ONVO’s brand appeal in the country.
Still, it is seeing a modest demand for ONVO L80. Nio has also boosted its model lineup, including by launching ES9, which is the successor to the most popular ES8 model.
Analysts believe that the annual revenue jumped by 56% YoY to 136.6 billion yuan ($20 billion), followed by $22 billion next year.
A key challenge for the company is its profitability. While it made a net profit in the fourth quarter of last year, this reversed in the first quarter. Despite all this, analysts anticipate that it will make a net profit of 0.43 CNY per share this year, followed by 1.01 CNY next year.
