NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker, is seeing its shares trade lower in premarket trading on Thursday.
Macquarie analyst Eugene Hsiao downgraded the company&#8217;s rating from Outperform to Neutral and slashed the price target <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NIO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">from $6.60 to $4.80.</a>
The downgrade follows a mixed fiscal third-quarter earnings report, which revealed a slight decline in year-over-year<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42084907/nio-q3-earnings-11-6-gain-in-vehicle-deliveries-margins-improve-issues-robust-q4-delivery-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener"> revenue and continued losses.</a>
NIO posted a revenue of 18.67 billion yuan ($2.66 billion) for the quarter, marking a 2.1% decrease from the same period in the previous year but an increase of 7.0% from the prior quarter. However, analysts had expected slightly higher revenue of $2.70 billion for the period.

Excluding share-based compensation expenses, NIO reported an adjusted loss per share of 2.14 yuan, or a 31-cent loss, which was an improvement compared to the 2.28 yuan loss in the same quarter last year. Nonetheless, the company continues to struggle with narrowing its losses, though this quarter&#8217;s loss was slightly better than the 2.21 yuan loss seen in the second quarter of 2024.
Despite the disappointing financials, NIO executives have been actively unveiling new strategic developments.
The company shared details about its third EV brand, Firefly, which will officially launch on December 21, ahead of its parent company&#8217;s annual NIO Day event, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/20/nio-officially-unveils-3rd-brand-firefly/" rel="noreferrer noopener">CnEV </a>Post. Firefly&#8217;s first model is expected to enter deliveries in the first half of 2025, a move seen as an effort to expand NIO&#8217;s presence in the competitive EV market.
Looking ahead, NIO has set a guidance of 72,000 to 75,000 vehicle deliveries for the fourth quarter, which represents a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> year-over-year increase of 43.9% to 49.9%</a>. The company also projects revenue for the fourth quarter in the range of $2.804 billion to $2.904 billion, a growth of 15.0% to 19.2% compared to the same period last year.
Despite these optimistic projections, NIO&#8217;s stock has been under significant pressure in 2024, having plunged more than 45% year-to-date.
Price Action: NIO shares are trading lower by 1.29% to $4.60 at last check Thursday.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on NIO Options

XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) shares are trading slightly higher on Wednesday, following mixed third-quarter results from its rival, NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>).
NIO&#8217;s fiscal third quarter revenue totaled 18.67 billion yuan ($2.66 billion), down 2.1% year-over-year but up 7.0% from the previous quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $2.70 billion. The company posted an adjusted loss per share of 2.14 yuan (31 cents), a slight improvement from a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42084907/nio-q3-earnings-11-6-gain-in-vehicle-deliveries-margins-improve-issues-robust-q4-delivery-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">2.28 yuan loss in the same period last year.</a>
China&#8217;s $376 billion electric vehicle (EV) market continues to attract new entrants, including companies outside the traditional automotive sector, like makers of vacuum cleaners and hair dryers, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3286904/chinas-ev-market-lures-new-entrants-eyes-byds-crown-great-peril" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> from the South China Morning Post.

Despite optimism, the domestic EV market, the world&#8217;s largest, is projected to stagnate over the next two years in terms of revenue growth, the report read.
In contrast, XPeng is projecting robust fourth-quarter vehicle deliveries between 87,000 and 91,000, reflecting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42057872/xpeng-q3-earnings-over-18-topline-growth-deliveries-up-double-digit-percentage-margins-climb-over-15-ceo-eyes-ai-leadership" rel="noreferrer noopener">year-on-year growth of 44.6% to 51.3%</a>. The company also expects fourth-quarter revenue to range from 15.3 billion to 16.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.2% to 24.1%, surpassing the consensus estimate of 14.77 billion yuan.
XPeng&#8217;s flying car subsidiary, Xpeng Aeroht, made significant progress at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, securing 2,008 pre-orders for its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41946780/whats-going-on-with-xpeng-stock-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">modular flying car, the Land Aircraft Carrier</a>.
Despite these developments, XPeng&#8217;s stock has dropped over 30% in the past year. Investors seeking exposure to XPeng can access the stock through the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Smart Mobility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAIL#NYSE">HAIL</a>).

Insights From Analysts:
Wedbush's Dan Ives expressed upbeat sentiment about Nvidia's earnings, saying that the AI giant could deliver earnings beat and raise guidance as well.
"We expect a drop the mic performance from Nvidia tomorrow night as Godfather of AI Jensen &amp; Co. are the only game in town with $1 trillion of AI Cap-Ex on the way with Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs the new oil and gold in this world."

While there is optimism among analysts about Nvidia and other AI stocks, the European Central Bank expressed caution about the possibility of an "AI bubble."
&#8220;This concentration among a few large firms raises concerns over the possibility of an AI-related asset price bubble,&#8221; the ECB said in its latest Financial Stability Review, underscoring the increasing dependence of the equity markets on select companies.
This could also be a cause of concern for equity markets beyond the U.S., noted the ECB.
"Also, in a context of deeply integrated global equity markets, it points to the risk of adverse global spillovers, should earnings expectations for these firms be disappointed."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, on the other hand, remained optimistic about equity markets.
"Stocks historically do better in years 1 and 2 of a President who was re-elected vs a new President in office."

Amid growing tariff concerns, CEO of Tesla&#8217;s Chinese rival Xpeng (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) Brian Gu has expressed the company&#8217;s resolve to remain competitive in the global market. Gu emphasized the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing driving systems and improving customer experiences.
What Happened: Despite the challenges posed by tariffs, Gu remains optimistic about Xpeng&#8217;s prospects in the European market. He described Europe as a significant long-term opportunity and highlighted the company&#8217;s commitment to expanding its local presence and capabilities, CNBC<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/20/xpeng-have-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-stay-competitive.html"> reported</a> on Wednesday.
Gu acknowledged the complexities of operating a global business, especially with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143690/european-tariffs-on-chinas-ev-makers-could-backfire"> potential tariff increases</a> under the incoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913456/trump-vows-200-tariffs-on-chinese-made-cars-in-mexico-warns-of-us-auto-industry-collapse-if-kamala-h">Donald Trump administration.</a> He emphasized the necessity for Xpeng to adapt by exploring more localized business models and expanding into other promising regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. 
Gu stated, &#8220;We have to do whatever it takes to be competitive.&#8221;

The company reported an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42057872/xpeng-q3-earnings-over-18-topline-growth-deliveries-up-double-digit-percentage-margins-climb-over-15-ceo-eyes-ai-leadership">18.4% year-on-year increase</a> in third-quarter sales, reaching 10.10 billion Chinese Yuan ($1.44 billion), surpassing analyst expectations. This growth was accompanied by a 24.5% sequential rise in total revenues.
Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel recently noted that Trump&#8217;s proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">tariffs would be "very, very bad"</a> for China but only &#8220;mildly negative&#8221; for American consumers.

At the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show on November 14, Alan Ai, president of NIO&#8217;s sub-brand Onvo, provided an update <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42006365/whats-going-on-with-nio-stock-today-10" rel="noreferrer noopener">on the Onvo L60 electric vehicle.</a>
According to Ai, more than 7,000 units of the L60 have been delivered, indicating strong demand for the model. In addition, recent reports show that NIO has shortened the delivery timeline for the Onvo L60 in China, with vehicles now arriving in just 10 to 14 weeks, down from the previous 12 to 16 weeks. This improvement reflects NIO&#8217;s efforts to scale production capacity and meet growing customer demand.
Ai also outlined ambitious delivery targets, aiming to exceed 10,000 units per month in December and surpass 20,000 units per month by March 2025. With strong orders already placed for the first quarter of 2025, the Onvo L60 is proving to be a popular model, outperforming other recently launched vehicles.

</ul>

What's Going On With NIO Stock Following Strong Q3 Results From Top Peer XPeng?

The battle of China's electric vehicle (EV) giants heats up this week as XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) prepare to reveal their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XPEV/earnings">third-quarter earnings</a>.
XPeng reports after the bell on Tuesday, while NIO follows early Wednesday. Here&#8217;s what the charts and innovations signal ahead of these crucial reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">XPeng: AI Ambitions Meet Bullish Signals</h2>
XPeng is riding high on a wave of tech innovation, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whats-going-xpeng-stock-friday-181654671.html">unveiling</a> the AI-defined P7+, the futuristic AEROHT flying car, and the Kunpeng Super Electric System boasting record-setting charging speeds. 
These announcements come as XPeng stock trends moderately bullish, showing significant buying pressure.

From a technical standpoint:
<ul>
<li>XPeng stock trades at $13.23, above its 20-day SMA ($12.42), 50-day SMA ($11.54) and 200-day SMA ($9.01) — all bullish signals.</li>
<li>However, the stock is below its eight-day SMA ($13.70), hinting at short-term selling pressure.</li>
</ul>
With analysts projecting a third quarter revenue of $1.38 billion and an EPS loss of 27 cents a share, XPeng's AI-driven strategy and technical setup point to potential upside post-earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NIO: Bearish Setup Despite Buying Pressure</h2>
NIO's stock, in stark contrast, is mired in a bearish trend. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18131045/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-11.29.46-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-653577" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18131045/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-11.29.46-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18131045/Screenshot-2024-11-18-at-11.29.46-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111824&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Trading at $4.71, NIO stock sits below all key moving averages:
<ul>
<li>The eight-day SMA ($4.79), 20-day SMA ($5.07) and 50-day SMA ($5.55) all suggest bearish momentum.</li>
</ul>
Still, the stock has seen buying pressure recently, which could hint at a potential reversal if earnings impress. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue of $2.54 billion and an EPS loss of 30 cents a share.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
XPeng's bullish technical indicators and innovation narrative position it as the front-runner for investor attention this week, while NIO's bearish setup leaves it with more to prove. 
As both companies face earnings, the battle could set the tone for the next phase of China's EV wars.

Renowned tech investor and Palantir Technologies&#8217; co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, during an interview with The Free Press, Thiel suggested that such a tariff would be &#8220;very, very bad&#8221; for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41912771/trump-presidency-magnificent-7-stock-impact-benzinga-readers-pick-tech-titan-at-most-risk-following-2024-election">Chinese companies</a> and China as a whole.
However, he believes the impact on American consumers would be &#8220;mildly negative&#8221; as manufacturing would likely shift away from China.
According to Thiel, shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Chinese stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38782459/china-focused-etfs-have-become-political-footballs-in-us-as-investor-apprehension-leads-to-large-sca#google_vignette">experienced a notable rally</a>, pushing the SSE Composite Index in Shanghai to its highest point since September 2023.
However, Trump's proposed tariffs, which could reach as high as 60% on Chinese goods, along with additional import hikes on other nations, could disrupt these investments.
A day after Trump won, China-linked ETFs witnessed a sharp fall after rallying for nearly two months.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On NIO

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) saw a surge in its stock price during Friday&#8217;s premarket trading, driven by positive news surrounding the company&#8217;s growing production capacity and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">international expansion efforts</a>.
At the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show on November 14, Alan Ai, President of NIO&#8217;s sub-brand Onvo, shared updates about the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41912881/whats-going-on-with-nio-stock-today-9" rel="noreferrer noopener">Onvo L60 electric vehicle.</a> According to Ai, more than 7,000 units of the L60 have been delivered to customers, signaling strong demand for the model, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/15/nio-onvo-deliveries-exceeded-7000/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> CnEV Post.
Recent <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/12/nio-onvo-l60-wait-time-reduced/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> indicate that NIO has managed to shorten the delivery timeline for the Onvo L60. Customers in China can now expect their vehicles to arrive in just 10 to 14 weeks, down from the previous 12 to 16 weeks. This reduction in wait times suggests that NIO has successfully ramped up its production capacity to meet the growing demand for its vehicles. The change was confirmed through updates on the Onvo app, further reinforcing the idea that the company is scaling its operations.

Ai also outlined ambitious targets for future deliveries, stating that Onvo aims to exceed 10,000 units per month in December and reach more than 20,000 units per month by March 2025. The Onvo L60 has already seen strong order volumes, far outpacing the demand for other models launched at the same time. As a result, production orders for the first quarter of 2025 are already in place, further demonstrating the model&#8217;s popularity.
In addition to its domestic growth, NIO is expanding its footprint internationally. The company revealed plans to enter the Azerbaijani automotive market, a move that reflects its broader strategy of global expansion, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/11/15/nio-to-enter-azerbaijan/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>. Qin Lihong, NIO&#8217;s co-founder and president, shared the news in a WeChat video, confirming that he is currently visiting Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, as part of the company&#8217;s efforts to grow its presence beyond China.
With strong sales figures, ramped-up production capabilities, and an expanding international footprint, NIO appears to be well-positioned for continued growth in the global electric vehicle market.
Price Action: Nio shares traded higher by 1.35% at $4.49 premarket at the last check Friday.
