Despite Nio’s recent volatility, a noted bull has once again put his support behind the Chinese EV maker. Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu has added Nio to the fresh money list for 2022, citing that much of the concerns investors have in Nio are already baked into the stock price. Yu notes that 2022 could be a banner year for Nio with the company doubling its production capacity, releasing several new models, and expanding further outside of China. Yu is also looking long-term with Nio, as he pointed out the 25 country expansion by 2025 as another key that makes Nio’s current stock price an attractive one.

Nio has also announced that it is in discussions with Warren Buffett-backed BYD to launch a brand new mass market brand in China. This new brand would provide an affordable electric vehicle for the masses, and give Nio a foothold outside of the luxury electric vehicle market. No further details about a timeline have been revealed, but it does mesh with Nio’s announcement of launching three vehicle models in 2022.
