The NIO ES9 is incredibly popular! Look at the crowds in the dealerships right now! Everyone wants to see it and try it, and you even have to queue and make an appointment! 😂 Former BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi customers are completely addicted to the ES9
ES9: Deliveries remain constrained by supply chain issues despite a 15-week order backlog.
New Models: The ET6 Touring (ET6T) and other 3.0 platform vehicles are undergoing road testing, with launches expected next year. They will feature minor design refinements and will not include steer-by-wire.
Battery Updates: condensed batteries are expected to debut next year, and the monthly BaaS subscription fee will be lowered.

Something is starting to change around $NIO.
I don't talk about bullshit analyst upgrades or social media sentiment.
It’s the quant funds.
Renaissance Technologies, the LEGENDARY quantitative hedge fund founded by Jim Simons, increased its NIO position by roughly 70% in Q1 2026, adding about 5.96M shares.
Renaissance doesn’t buy stocks because it likes the CEO, the product, or the story. Its edge comes from models, data and statistical signals.
And it’s not alone.
D.E. Shaw, Two Sigma and Citadel also reported sizeable NIO positions.
Does that mean these funds are making a huge long-term bet on NIO? Of course not. Quant positions can exist for many reasons, and 13F filings only show part of the picture.
But I still find it interesting that $NIO is increasingly showing up in the portfolios of some of the most sophisticated quantitative investors in the world.
Especially while the underlying business is improving:
+112.2% revenue growth
19% gross margin
2nd consecutive quarter of positive adjusted operating profit
None of this proves the stock is going higher.
But the picture is starting to look very different from the old:
“Chinese EV company that just burns cash.”
And I think that shift is worth paying attention to.
@InvestorSince21 Absolutely not. I’m hoping for at least 44,200 deliveries. Since that figure had already been mentioned several times, I just picked a slightly higher number at random. 😆
