Shares of Chinese electric vehicle company NIO Inc. surged 7% on November 7, 2024, as investors showed renewed confidence in the prospects of the country's EV industry.
The stock rally came amid a broader upswing in the shares of several Chinese EV makers listed in Hong Kong. XPeng Inc., another prominent player in the market, saw its stock soar 19% after unveiling a new, lower-priced electric sedan model.
Analysts suggest that the positive sentiment surrounding NIO and other EV companies was driven by expectations of improving profitability and market share gains. NIO is slated to report its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2024 on November 20th, with analysts anticipating a reduction in net losses and higher gross margins compared to the previous quarter.
