Nio's Hong Kong shares jumped about 7% after CEO William Li reaffirmed a 40%-50% annual delivery growth target, buoyed by strong ES8 sales (March: 16,255 units) and ES9 pre-sales at a starting price of 528,000 yuan. The ES8 continues to lead the 400,000+ yuan segment for four months, while the ES9 is set for a late-May launch with deliveries starting June 1, helping the stock outperform its EV peers.
Nio opened its first Costa Rica store, its first overseas location, showcasing its three-brand lineup (Nio, Onvo, Firefly) and models such as Nio ET5 Touring, EL6, EL8, and Onvo L60, with Onvo L90 pre-sales announced for EXPOMOVIL. The showroom is operated with Horizontes Cielo Azul as the national distributor, signaling a shift to an asset-light expansion in Latin America and aligning with broader overseas push (including Thailand and future Australia/New Zealand).
Nio’s third‑generation ES8 delivered 11,260 units in February, making up 54.14% of Nio’s total deliveries and 74.28% of the main-brand volume; year-to-date ES8 deliveries total 28,918 (60.27% of total). To spur spring demand, Nio offered a 10,000 yuan purchase‑tax subsidy plus perks like free NOP+ access and financing options, as it targets its first quarterly profit in Q4 2025 with earnings due March 10.
Nio delivered 20,797 vehicles in February, up about 58% year-on-year despite Lunar New Year disruptions, with the main brand at 15,159 units (up 65.8% YoY but down from January). To sustain momentum into March, Nio extended seven-year low-interest loans and subsidies across its main brand and its Onvo and Firefly sub-brands through the end of the month.
Nio has delivered its 60,000th third‑generation ES8 SUV, two weeks after the 50,000th unit, with the milestone announced by Yang Bo on Weibo in Guangzhou. December deliveries reached 48,135 vehicles, with the ES8 contributing 22,258 units. As production capacity increases and wait times shrink to about 11–12 weeks, Nio is gearing up for the ES9 launch in Q2, likely debuting at the Beijing auto show and sharing technology with the ET9.
Nio delivered 27,182 vehicles in January, up 96.08% year over year and down 43.53% from December, driven by strong performance of the Nio main brand, particularly the ES8 SUV.
NIO reported a record-breaking year in 2025 with total vehicle deliveries reaching 326,028, a 46.9% increase year-over-year, including a December high of 48,135 vehicles, driven by strong sales across its brands and the success of its flagship SUV, the NIO All-New ES8.
In October 2025, China's leading EV makers showed mixed results, with Nio and XPeng experiencing strong growth, Li Auto facing declines, and BYD maintaining its leadership despite market headwinds. Nio and XPeng reported significant year-over-year delivery increases, while Li Auto's sales dropped sharply. BYD remains the largest EV producer in China, with positive international expansion and strong analyst ratings, making it a favored investment among Wall Street analysts.
Nio and XPeng reported strong October EV deliveries, with Nio surpassing 40,000 units for the first time and XPeng continuing its growth, while Li Auto faced declines, marking a challenging period for the latter amidst competitive pressures and weak demand.
China's EV market saw record deliveries in October, with XPeng, Nio, and Leapmotor hitting new highs, while Tesla's China sales declined in 2025. Overall, EV sales are expected to be strong in Q4 due to year-end incentives, with significant secular shifts as new players like Xiaomi and Leapmotor gain ground, challenging Tesla's dominance in the world's largest EV market.
The $7,500 EV tax credit has expired, likely impacting demand, especially for U.S. EV makers like Ford. However, Tesla's stock remains resilient due to investor confidence in its future tech, Nio benefits from strong European and Chinese markets without U.S. sales, and Toyota's hybrid focus means it is less affected by the tax credit's end. These companies could still succeed despite the loss of government incentives.
NIO's stock declined after the company's Q2 sales fell short of analyst estimates, leading to a drop in investor confidence.
Nio has achieved a record-breaking month with over 31,000 vehicle deliveries, challenging Tesla and BYD in the EV market, and is set to release its earnings report, with analysts expecting a reduced loss and a moderate buy rating for its stock, which has surged 81% since the last earnings.
