The big news for Nio on Monday was a price downgrade from Deutsche Bank analyst, Edison Yu. While the price target from $70 to $50 didn’t sit well with investors, Yu remains openly bullish about the company for the year ahead. Yu does expect a softer earnings report from Nio for the quarter due to ‘operational bottlenecks’ and supply chain issues, as well as new COVID-19 lockdowns in China. The analyst goes on to say that the ET7 and ET5 models will be the most sought after electric vehicles in China during 2022.
NIO stock price
Ahead of its quarterly earnings call on Thursday after the closing bell, Nio has announced that it has no plans to raise prices for its vehicles. As mentioned the company has been fighting supply chain issues and the ongoing global chip shortage, but it reiterated that it would not follow in the footsteps of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) in raising the vehicle prices in China.
