Nio, Xpeng, and the EV Landscape: Which Stocks to Bet On? Nio's Q2 2024 results showed a net loss of $624.1 million, but delivery numbers are up 35.8% YoY from January to August! Moderate Buy rating and $5.97 price target imply 8.84% upside. Xpeng faces execution issues and poor margins (6.4% vs. Nio's 12.2% and Li Auto's 18.7%).

Other EV Contenders: - BYD: Established player with strong domestic and international presence. - Tesla: Global EV leader with a $100B+ brand value. Key Takeaways: -Nio's delivery growth is encouraging, but profitability
