What Moves This Stock - Nio
Shares of $NIO have fallen by about 40% YTD for a multitude of reasons, such as being placed on the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) list, supply chain holdups due to lockdowns, and delisting fears.
Here are 3 factors that will affect Nio in the near term:
Number One:
In July, Grizzley Research released a short report, alleging that Nio inflated its revenue and net income margins through Wuhan Weineng. Weining acts as Nio’s battery asset management provider and was established in 2020 through a joint venture between Nio and Contemporary Amperex Technology. Furthermore, Weineng collects Nio’s monthly subscription revenue for its battery swap system and battery-as-a-service (BaaS) strategy.
Grizzly claims that Weineng recognizes revenue immediately instead of throughout the duration of a subscription. The average duration of a Nio BaaS subscription is 7 years.
Grizzly also believes that Nio has ““flooded Weineng with up to extra 21,053 batteries (worth ~1,147M RMB) to boost its numbers.”
Nio took the allegations seriously and formed an independent committee to investigate the short report after denying it. There have been no further updates.
Number Two:
Nio’s place on the HFCAA list, along with U.S-China geopolitical tensions, places it at risk of being delisted. The HFCAA requires foreign companies to file audited statements to U.S. auditors for additional oversight. Companies in violation of this for 3 consecutive years face the risk of being delisted on U.S. exchanges. The earliest the HFCAA could delist any company is 2024. As a result, any update on cooperation between U.S. and China officials will likely move Chinese stocks, including Nio, in the near term.
Before Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, it was reported that talks between the two nations concerning resolving differences in the HFCAA were going well. The Speaker’s visit will certainly not improve the relationship going forward.
Number Three:
The last factor is the monthly delivery report. The Chinese EV company, along with peers like Li Auto and XPeng, discloses its monthly delivery numbers every month. In July, Nio delivered 10,052 vehicles, up 26.7% YOY. Cumulative deliveries since inception reached 227,949 vehicles. Investors also compare delivery figures between Nio and its competitors to gauge demand and brand reputation.
