$NIO
Every Institution should be shorting SpaceX at $210.00 and going long NIO at $5.12. I will mark this post and revisit on this board in 6 months and 12 months.

伸手摘星star shared some interesting takes from $NIO Li Bin on TSLA's FSD vs #NIO's NWM.
As typical of someone in the business, Li Bin said he would like an opportunity to try the latest version of the FSD. But noted that NWM had made tremendous progress.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝟒𝟐 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 $NIO #𝐍𝐈𝐎, ##𝐗𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧�� #𝐋𝐢 ��𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭
The Chinese EV sector is entering a fascinating new phase.
As of June 15, 2026, the market is valuing the three leading Chinese EV startups at remarkably similar levels:
• Li Auto: ~$14.7 billion market cap
• XPeng: ~$14.2 billion market cap
• NIO: ~$13.6 billion market cap
On Wall Street, the race appears almost too close to call.
But investors looking only at market capitalization may be missing the most important story unfolding underneath the surface.
Because when you stop counting vehicles and start counting profits per vehicle, the competitive landscape changes dramatically.
𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞
For years, investors have obsessed over monthly delivery numbers.
Who sold more?
Who grew faster?
Who gained market share?
But mature automotive companies are ultimately valued on their ability to generate sustainable profits- not simply move metal.
The real question is:
How much money does each company make on every vehicle sold?
The latest Q1 2026 results provide a revealing answer.
𝐍𝐈𝐎: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫
NIO continues to command the highest pricing power among China's EV startups.
Q1 2026 Highlights
• Average Selling Price: RMB 390,000
• Vehicle Margin: 18.8%
• Margin Improvement: +8.6 percentage points YoY
Unlike many competitors, NIO has largely refused to participate in destructive price wars.
Instead, management has focused on protecting brand equity, improving manufacturing efficiency, and driving higher-margin premium sales.
The result is a business generating substantially more gross profit per vehicle than its peers.
Every premium ES9, ES8, ET9, and EC9 sold contributes meaningfully to the company's path toward sustainable profitability.
𝐗𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐠: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
XPeng may be the industry's most improved player.
Once viewed primarily as a budget EV manufacturer, the company is steadily moving upmarket.
Q1 2026 Highlights
• Average Selling Price: RMB 175,000
• Vehicle Margin: 12.0%
• Margin Improvement: +1.6 percentage points YoY
Higher-end vehicles such as the X9 and upcoming flagship products are helping improve profitability.
Meanwhile, overseas expansion offers additional opportunities where pricing pressure is often less severe than in China.
The challenge remains profitability.
XPeng's aggressive investments in AI, autonomous driving, and global growth continue to consume significant cash flow.
𝐋𝐢 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱
Li Auto remains an impressive volume producer.
However, volume alone does not guarantee financial strength.
Q1 2026 Highlights
• Average Selling Price: Below RMB 226,000
• Vehicle Margin: 6.1%
• Margin Decline: From 19.8% to 6.1% YoY
To defend market share, Li Auto has aggressively reduced pricing across key models.
While this strategy can boost deliveries, it creates a dangerous tradeoff.
A vehicle margin of just 6.1% leaves very little room for unexpected costs, competitive pressure, or economic weakness.
The company is effectively selling more vehicles while earning dramatically less profit on each one.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠
Today, the entire valuation gap between NIO and Li Auto is only about $1 billion.
That is remarkably small considering the divergence in margin performance.
If current trends continue over the next 12 months, investors may begin placing greater emphasis on:
• Vehicle profitability
• Free cash flow generation
• Pricing power
• Brand strength
• Sustainable earnings growth
These are precisely the areas where NIO is showing the strongest momentum.
#NIO today officially launched the Champion Edition versions of the 2026 ET5, ET5 Touring and EC6, extending its racing-themed product line, starting price of RMB313,000 ($46,280), incl. 100-kWh battery pack.
$nio is being manipulated and bar coded heavily. My price target remains $7 we continue to trade in the undervalued territory. For now we have to continue to play these manipulative games. but one day you will see this company have their $xpev moment. I am not sure what wall st is waiting for but im 99% sure if the company out delivers Tesla for June it still won't move. I am not sure what wall shit wants. A investigation defiently needs to be opened. Friendly reminder $nio reported 2 profitable quarters in a row and the stock depreciated in value significantly. delivery's have increased significantly as well.
Total over 5 weeks: 119,440 orders.
NIO’s stated 2026 delivery target range is reportedly 455,928–488,495 vehicles.
That means:
119,440 ÷ 455,928 ≈ 26.2%
119,440 ÷ 488,495 ≈ 24.5%
So mathematically, those five weeks represent roughly one-quarter of the full-year delivery target, not one-fifth or 10%.
@FahimEln $NIO WEEKLY orders past 5-weeks total 119,440:
🔸W24: 19,480
🔸W23: 28,020
🔸W22: 38,810
🔸W21: 11,830
🔸W20: 21,300
#NIO targets 455,928~488,495 deliveries this year!
So over past 5-wks, NIO has greater than 1/5-th (10%) of the orders needed to meet target.
