Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO), a sub-brand of Onvo, rallied by about 10% on Thursday after news broke that the newly released L90 electric vehicle from Onvo was sold out within three hours.
L90’s Hangzhou launch concluded on Thursday evening. Shortly after the event, an online configurator was launched, which triggered a rush of orders, estimated to be around 10,000.
Early momentum indicates that the CEO William Li’s goal of 7,000 or more deliveries within the first 30 days may well be achievable.
Nio’s stock has risen nearly 50% since its low point (July 7, to July 8,).
What is the significance of Nio Stock?
L90’s explosive launch is more than just an impressive product launch. It could be a turning point in Nio’s strategy.
The company has been facing fierce competition in the China EV market and is under margin pressure. However, its pivot to the family segment through Onvo seems to have resonated well with the customers.
Investors interpret the sale as a validation of Nio’s multi-brand strategy, which is aimed at capturing different demographics and leveraging common technology platforms.
Analysts may increase their delivery estimates due to the strong demand for NIO’s shares and nearly 1,000 test-drive vehicles.
This momentum, if sustained, could help Nio gain investor confidence, and improve its metrics of valuation, which were lagging behind competitors like Li Auto, and BYD.
What is driving the Onvo L90’s popularity?
Onvo L90 is a combination of affordable price, spacious design and battery options.
It is priced at just 265,800 Yuan for a 85-kWh lithium-ion battery, or 179,800 Yuan when using Nio’s Battery-as-a Service (BaaS). This model undercuts competitors like Li Auto’s Li8 and Xiaomi SU7 while providing similar tech and comfort.
Six-seater layout is aimed at family customers, a market segment that’s under-served in most EVs. The L90 is a practical vehicle that focuses more on user-friendliness and convenience than Xiaomi’s SU7.
Onvo’s rapid deployment of test-drive vehicles and simplified ordering process helped to convert interest quickly into sales. It’s an excellent product, which fills in a gap on the market. This will unlock further gains for NIO over time.
When is it too late for Nio to purchase shares?
NIO’s shares have already seen a substantial rally, but it is important to note that the Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, NIO, is still in its infancy.
The EV shares are currently selling at a P/S ratio of only 1,09, which is significantly lower than its rivals in the domestic market.
The upside potential could be substantial if Onvo gains traction while Nio keeps its operational discipline.
Wall Street is bullish about NIO, as the stock’s consensus rating was “overweight” when this article was written.
