UBS reiterated a Neutral rating and $13.00 price target on Nio Inc. (NYSE:NIO) after attending the UBS 2023 Greater China Conference where management shared updates on the company’s recent operations.
The electric vehicle company aims to achieve 250k total unit sales, of which 80-90k units will be delivered in 23H1 and 160k units will be delivered in 23H2. The automaker’s EC7 model will begin delivery in May, and the ES8 will begin delivery in Jun. Nio will launch their NT2.0 based ES6 & EC6 and a new model in Q2, and all five 2023 models will start delivery by 23Q2.
UBS analysts wrote in a note, “Management expects 23Q1 volume to record a slight decline sequentially, and forecasts retail demand to recover by March amid improving travel demand. The company plans to start delivery of NT2.0 based EC7 and ES8 in May and Jun, and scheduled the launch of NT2.0 based ES6 & EC6 and a new model in 23Q2. Amid recovering consumer interests, Nio expects to gain shares with all five 2023 models starting delivery by 23Q2.”
Shares of NIO are down 0.09% in pre-market trading on Thursday.
