Still, NIO is ramping up revenues and the company is set to release new EVs that could help boost NIO&#39;s delivery and revenue growth going forward: NIO launched both the ES6 and the new ET7 in May and is getting ready to launch the new ES8 in June.While NIO&#39;s revenues kept growing, the same cannot be said for the company&#39;s vehicle margins: NIO&#39;s margins declined to 5.1% in Q1&#39;23 and were down 1.70 PP compared to Q4&#39;22.

However, due to an overall decline in deliveries in a more challenged market, NIO&#39;s sedan ramp also disappointed in May. New product launches and NIO&#39;s sedan delivery growth are key reasons why I believe NIO still retains a lot of upside potential.In the last month, NIO delivered 3,759 electric vehicles that are part of the company&#39;s sedan category -- namely its key ET5 and ET7 models. Because of the drop in deliveries, NIO&#39;s sedan share also dropped from 74.3% in April to 61.1% in May. However, I continue to believe that NIO is still very much in the early stages of its sedan ramp and new product releases should drive NIO&#39;s delivery and top line growth going forward.<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><colgroup><col/><col/><col/><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">NIO ET7/ET5 Metrics</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Jan-23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Feb-23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Mar-23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Apr-23</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">May-23</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Total Deliveries</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">8,506</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12,157</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">10,378</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">6,658</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">6,155</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">NIO Sedan Deliveries</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">6,316</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">7,120</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">7,175</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">4,945</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">3,759</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">M/M Growth</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">-29.6%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">12.7%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">0.8%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">-31.1%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">-24.0%</td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\">Sedan Delivery Share</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">74.3%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">58.6%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">69.1%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">74.3%</td><td style=\"text-align:left;\">61.1%</td></tr></tbody></table>Click to enlarge(Source: Author)<h2>Second-quarter delivery outlook</h2>NIO has guided for Q2&#39;23 delivery volume of 23,000 and 25,000 electric vehicles, which shows a potential decrease of up 8.2% over the year-earlier volume. While the outlook isn&#39;t great, investors have to consider that NIO has just launched (or is in the process of launching) three new EV models (the ES6, the ET7 and the ES8).<h2>NIO&#39;s valuation, penny stock fears</h2>NIO&#39;s shares declined after the company released earnings for the first-quarter. In my opinion, NIO represents deep value right now and fears over shares potentially trading down to the penny stock range ($5 or less) are greatly exaggerated. NIO is still expected to see dramatic growth in its revenue base in the next five years: NIO is expected to grow its revenues from $11.65B in FY 2023 to $41.19B in FY 2028, implying an average annual revenue growth rate of 29%.Additionally, shares of NIO represent deep value for long term investors, in my opinion. NIO&#39;s revenue potential is valued at less than 1.0X forward revenues while both XPeng and Li Auto are selling at much higher multiplier factors.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/186a17700f7333566961af0a8adf0929\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"/>Data by YCharts<h2>Risks with NIO</h2>The biggest risk for NIO, as I see, is a potential slowdown in sedan deliveries which have been instrumental in pushing NIO&#39;s delivery volume above 10,000 monthly units in February and March. Any disappointments down the road regarding the ramp of sedan products, which are offsetting slowing growth in the SUV market, would likely be a negative for NIO&#39;s shares. What would change my mind about NIO is if the company continued to see a slowdown in its sedan ramp and a deteriorating EPS revision trend.<h2>Final thoughts</h2>NIO&#39;s earnings card for the first-quarter was mixed and the company has seen a growth slowdown in May. NIO&#39;s vehicle margins also contracted in the first-quarter while revenue growth also (expectedly) slowed. However, NIO is still on track to produce close to 8,000 EVs a month during the second-quarter (based on NIO&#39;s mid-point guidance). While there is also a risk regarding vehicle margins in the short term, NIO is still expected to generate near-30% annual top line growth between FY 2023 and FY 2028. NIO is still very much at the beginning of its EV ramp in my opinion, and patient long term investors are likely going to be rewarded by betting on the EV company!</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Market Is Likely Wrong About NIO</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe Market Is Likely Wrong About NIO\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-10 07:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610614-the-market-is-likely-wrong-about-nio>seekingalpha</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nRobert WayElectric vehicle company NIO (NYSE:NIO) just reported earnings for the first-quarter and NIO beat EPS expectations by $0.05 per-share while missing on revenues.
