NIO Inc. NYSE: NIO is a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer that sells sleek cutting edge EVs mainly in China. Shares have been battered as the company continues to post losses without a clear-cut path to profitability.
Chinese luxury electric vehicle maker Nio stock published a narrower-than-expected loss for Q2. While sales almost doubled year-over-year to about $2.4 billion, net losses narrowed to $0.30 from $0.45 a year ago, led by strong delivery growth.
Nio missed Q2 revenue estimates but showed an improvement in gross margins, with more progress expected later this year. Despite a 144% YoY increase in vehicle deliveries, lower average selling prices impacted total revenues, marking the second top line miss in three quarters. Nio's Q3 guidance included record deliveries and revenue expectations slightly above Street estimates, with ambitious long-term operational targets for both the Nio and Onvo brands.
Nio's deliveries and margins finally rose again in the second quarter. It expects to maintain that momentum in the second half of the year.
Nio is increasing sales and vehicle margins as it readies its lower-priced brand for deliveries.
NIO reported decent Q2'24 results as the EV company achieved 118.2% vehicle revenue growth. Vehicle margins improved to 12.2% in Q2, alleviating investor concerns amidst a competitive market with aggressive pricing from Tesla. NIO's Q3 outlook projects sustained delivery momentum, reinforcing its long-term investment appeal in the Chinese EV market.
NIO reports better-than-expected second-quarter results and expects third-quarter 2024 vehicle deliveries in the range of 61,000-63,000 units.
J.P. Morgan analyst Nick Lai upgraded shares of the Chinese EV maker to Buy after the company reported second-quarter earnings.
