Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) could more than double from here even though it reported a sequential increase in quarterly loss on Tuesday, says Tim Hsiao – a Morgan Stanley analyst.
The bull case for $NIOHsiao remains super bullish on Nio stock primarily because the loss it reported for the fourth quarter today was within his anticipated range.
The analyst was also uplifted by a meaningful increase in the EV maker’s cash reserves following a $2.2 billion strategic investment from CYVN in December.
Nio Inc also improved its vehicle margin by 90 basis points on a quarter-over-quarter basis to 11.9% due to lower battery costs, as per the Q4 earnings report the New York listed firm published on Tuesday.
$NIO is down some 35% versus the start of this year at writing.
