To The Moon

*$NIO Inc.(NIO)$will report Q2 earnings on Sept. 7.

* Analysts are expecting revenue of $1.39 billion.

* Shares of NIO stock are down over 40% year-to-date.

Nio stock is in full focus, as the company is set to announce second-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Sept. 7 before the market open. The Chinese automaker also announced its August deliveries on Thursday, which was 10,677 vehicles. Of the 10,677 vehicles, 7,551 of them were premium smart electric SUVs, while the remaining 3,126 were premium smart electric sedans.

Deliveries rose 81.6% year-over-year (YOY) and were higher by 6% compared to July’s delivery figure of 10,052 vehicles. Since the beginning of the year, cumulative deliveries have totaled 71,556 vehicles, up 28.3% YOY.

Meanwhile, both $Li Auto(LI)$and $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$delivery figures declined month-over-month.

The electric vehicle (EV) company has experienced a slew of headwinds this year, such as supply chain inefficiencies, increases in the price of raw materials, delisting fears and Covid-19 lockdowns. Coronavirus cases have experienced a surge in China. Recently, the large city of Chengdu went into lockdown, while Shanghai enacted coronavirus restrictions. Increased extended lockdowns in major hub cities could continue to exasperate supply chain issues for Nio.

However, NIO stock shareholders are hopeful that Q2 earnings will bring good news.

For the quarter, analysts are expecting revenue of$1.39 billion, representing a YOY increase of 5.8%.
