NIO Stock Forecast: 2022 Bull Case
- Launch of ES7 SUV in April- Recently, Nio president and co-founder Lihong Qin said at a media event that Nio plans to begin shipping of five-passenger electric SUV ES7 by end of 2022. While it is also expected that the company can unveil a particular SUV in April at CSSC Pavilion in Shanghai. It is also believed that if the model does not debut in that event, Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, taking place one week later can be the next destination.
- Launch of ET7 and ET5- ET7 was revealed early last year and ET5 was welcomed in December. Now, 2022 is the time to scale up production for these two new models. If the production kicks in, the results will be visible from Q1 2022 and it will be big boost to revenue for Nio.
- Designing its Own Smart Phone- Nio is linked to developing its own smartphone. Although it is an early stage, but it is not something developed by another company with Nio’s logo on it and it is believed that Nio is doing everything in-house. It is also expected that the phone will have major integration with Nio’s vehicle and that can be a major selling point for both vehicle and phone.
Least “Expensive” among Peers- At present Nio is trading at a forwarding price to sales ratio of 3.7, which is not very cheap, but when compared to its peers, it is much less “expensive” and is available at reasonable valuations. Take, for instance, Lucid Group trade at a forwarding P/S ratio of 24.91, whereas Nio Inc trades at 15.93. Compared to that, Nio is available at five-six times cheaper than its peers. Even Tesla Inc trades at a P/S ratio of 8.9. In this inflation-intensive market, high P/S or P/E is one of the primary reasons for the downfall, and investors have turned to believe in actual numbers rather than lofty valuations.
Production is doubling every subsequent year: – Although, Nio is behind Tesla Inc, in terms of delivery numbers and revenue, but is well ahead of other competitors like Rivian Inc and Lucid Group. In 2019, Nio produced 20,565 vehicles and doubled it in 2020 to43,728 units. The trend continued in 2021 with 91,429 units. In 2022, till the first half, the company has delivered 50,827 units. Although the growth rate seems to slow down, but Nio has actual numbers to prove to investors, instead of lofty promises like Rivian and Lucid, which are yet to be fulfilled.
Nio Stock Forecast: 2022 Bear Case
- Car Sales Fall in China- China Passenger Car Association recently reported that sales in China for Electric vehicles is falling. January is the eighth straight month for a decline in car sales. In January, retail car sales declined 4.4% from a year ago and sales are expected to remain sluggish in the coming months. The reason being the Covid pandemic and a slowing economy has a huge toll on demand.
- BYD’s Expansion plan in Australia – BYD is one of the leaders in the Chinese energy vehicle production market. On Saturday, BYD is planning to launch Atto 3 crossover in Australia. It will be its first expansion plan in Australia. BYD is expanding its market share around the globe and its expansion is likely to give jitters to Nio’s shares.
- Nio’s Rival XPeng Added to Hang Seng Tech Index – XPeng is all set to be added to the Hang Seng Tech index as a constituent stock on March 7th, 2022. Reportedly, this index lists the top 30 technology companies listed in Hong Kong and XPeng will debut on the index as the newest addition. Nio is still trying to list in Hong Kong since last year and the addition of XPeng to the index will bad news for Nio’s investors.
Allegations of inflated revenue reporting: – Recently, on June 28th, Grizzly Research alleged that Nio is using affiliate Wuhan Weineng to inflate its numbers of revenue and narrow down the losses. Nio battery as a service (BaaS) program allows customers to purchase Nio vehicles without battery packs and then rent or swap batteries to lower the price. Nio sells battery packs to Weineng and generates revenue. Now Grizzly Research claims that Nio has oversupplied batteries to inflate revenue. Nio has as expected rebutted the founding, but has not given a detailed answer. Any allegation on the work ethics do hurt the company’s image and its share price.
Conclusion
Among its peers, only Nio Inc is based in China. American investors are wary of Chinese investments right now and Chinese regulations has done more damage to the tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent. It is natural for the investors to be worrisome considering these factors. But remember, after Tesla, only Nio has significant numbers to show in the terms of delivery. Also China is a great source of Lithium and Chinese government is supportive of EV market. All these factors should make investors to have a second look at Nio Inc as a stock.
