Current Analysis of NIO

Let’s first look at how NIO is doing as of today which will give us a good gauge of how NIO could perform in the coming years. In the year 2022 NIO has been under a lot of pressure same as other peers in the EV space. The stock has been down almost 60-70% from its highs this year.

The primary reason behind the drop has been the overall economic downturn in the stock market coupled with the supply chain and resurfacing of the virus in china.

However, amidst all these the positive note about NIO is their consistent increase in delivery and revenue numbers. According to their latest quarter filing, they have delivered

31,607 vehicles which is a big plus sign considering all the issues the company had to face due to chip shortages and other factors during the recent downtrends.

As soon as the economic conditions and supply chain issues improve we should expect a reverse in NIO’s stock prices.

Risks and Other Economic Factors

• In the recent filing, NIO reported wider than expected losses and that’s a cause for concern if it continues to report such losses in coming quarters. However they have managed to compensate for the losses with their consistent beat on revenue numbers and a promising forecast on revenue numbers.
• The second concerning factor is their higher cost and negative cash flow which makes it very difficult for investors to predict a clear path to profitability yet.
• On the positive side compared to other EV players in the same league, they have one of the impressive delivery numbers which they have managed to consistently increase despite the recent challenges on the supply chain.
