NIO Shares Drop 5% to $4.52 as Morningstar Sees 2027 Profit

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 17

Summary

  • NIO’s U.S.-listed shares fell about 5% for the week to $4.52, their worst run in three weeks and just above a 52-week low of $4.37.
  • China’s EV price war, ongoing cash burn and margin pressure drove the slide, even as Morningstar said the automaker could reach breakeven in 2027 with 2.5 billion yuan in net profit.
  • Morningstar set a $6.50 fair value—implying 44% upside—but tagged NIO with “Very High” uncertainty, warning it may need fresh funding after at least a couple more years of cash burn.
  • The firm expects deliveries to rise to about 670,000 by 2030 from 326,000 in 2025, while cautioning that promotions, discounts and higher raw-material costs could dilute margins and pressure NIO’s premium brand.
