Shares of Nio Inc (NIO) have whipsawed over the last couple of years. The Shanghai-based seller of electric vehicles (EVs) survived a bankruptcy scare in 2020, and NIO went on to rise over 1,100% that year - but fell sharply in both 2021 and 2022.
NIO has gained over 35% so far in 2023, but its year-to-date returns significantly trail those of fellow Chinese EV peers like Xpeng Motors (XPEV) and Li Auto (LI), as well as American-based Tesla (TSLA) - which is the largest seller of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) globally. Now, with NIO on the rebound from its long-term underperformance - but still 79% below its all-time highs, set in February 2021 - I believe the stock could be a good buy at these levels.
