The main reason shares of Nio were on the rise again was due to a bullish upgrade from a Bank of America analyst. Ming Hsun Lee upgraded Nio from a Neutral to a Buy rating and raised the 12-month price target from $25 to $26 per share. Despite the recent downturn for Nio’s stock, Wall Street analysts remain mostly positive. According to TipRanks, of the 15 analysts who cover the stock, 14 have a Buy rating and one has a Hold rating, with a median price target of $40.61.

Lee cited several key catalysts for the rest of 2022 that should provide a positive impact to Nio’s sales. With the company recently selling its 500th vehicle in Norway, Nio is set to expand further into Europe by the end of the year. By that time, its second production facility should be up and running, showing that Nio is scaling to a global EV brand.
Previous updates
Update: NIO settled at $16.63 per share on Tuesday, up 14.30%. Wall Street managed to post substantial gains, following the tepid recovery of the previous session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 431 points, while the S&P 500 edged 1.80% higher. The Nasdaq Composite was the best performer, adding 2.76%. Stocks were backed by upbeat US data, as Retail Sales rose by more than anticipated in April. Industrial Production also provided a positive surprise. Meanwhile, speculative interest paid little attention to US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Speaking at a WSJ event, Powell remarked that the central bank is comfortable with the current pace of 50 bps rate hikes, although he added that they would change it one way or the other. Above all, Powell reiterated that policymakers' main focus is to tame inflation.
Update: Nio stock spiked 10.5% on Tuesday to $16.10 after a prominent Chinese economic advisor spoke in support of foreign-listed tech stocks. Vice Premier Liu He, President Xi Jinping's top economic official, said that after more than a year of high-profile public scrutiny of the business models, corporate stategies, consumer data collection and foreign listings of China's largest tech companies, the central government was now aligning itself behind these same firms in order to stablize the economy. This may be a symptom of Monday's economic report that revealed industrial output in China had fallen more than 11% YoY. NIO's rally is additionally supported by a move to riskier stocks on Monday as the Nasdaq has rallied 1.4%.
