On September 10, NIO-SW fell 4.91% in regular trading, trading at HK$28.22/share, with turnover of HK$5.0876 million, as multiple investment banks downgraded the stock following disappointing third-quarter guidance.
The sell-off was triggered by a confluence of negative catalysts. NIO's Q3 delivery guidance of 108,000 to 111,000 vehicles implies only 0.3% to 3.1% sequential growth, falling short of market expectations. Per-vehicle costs are projected to rise an additional RMB 2,000 to 3,000 in the second half, clouding profitability visibility. Freedom Broker downgraded NIO from Buy to Hold, slashing its 12-month target price from $7 to $4, while Haitong International cut its target from HK$46.22 to HK$32.70. Although NIO achieved three consecutive quarters of positive adjusted operating profit in Q2, GAAP net loss still stood at RMB 528 million, fueling disagreement over earnings quality.
The broader market environment compounded selling pressure, with the Hang Seng Index breaching the 25,000 level, down 1.15%. Within the Automobile Manufacturers sector, BYD COMPANY fell 1.53%, GEELY AUTO fell 3.13%, LI AUTO-W fell 1.72%, XPENG-W fell 3.17%, and BRILLIANCE CHI fell 3.84%.
