Nio Inc (NYSE:NIO) is all set to report its third quarter 2022 unaudited financial results on Thursday, November 10, 2022, before the open of the U.S. markets.
NIO was widely touted as the TSLA for China. However, the recent price action does not justify so. NIO is down more than 70% YTD and is currently trading at $9.84. The recent dip can also be attributed to Barclays analyst Jiong Shao who slashed Nio stock’s price target to $19 a share. That’s a dramatic U-turn, as the analyst had awarded Nio stock a price target of $34 a share earlier this year on the back of bullishness about China’s EV market.
Some of the other Chinese EV stocks to keep an eye include Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI).
