Nio stock continued its strong downward trend, reaching its lowest level since July 2025 after the company announced its financial results, which showed that its losses continued last quarter. It dropped to a low of $4.20, down by over 40% from its highest point this year.
Nio’s losses continued despite the revenue boom
Nio, a top Chinese company, published a mixed financial result. Its revenue soared by 69% in the second quarter to $4.7 billion. It had grown by over 27.5% from a quarter earlier, with its volume continuing to surge amid the rising demand for its vehicles.
The results also showed that its gross margins rose to 18.4%, higher than the 10.3% in the same period last year. This metric, however, was lower than the 19% from the previous quarter.
Most notably, the company’s bottom line remained in the red, with its net loss jumped to $77.8 million. This figure has been getting worse after it made a big profit in the fourth quarter of last year. The CEO said:
“The Company continued to improve its overall operating quality. Supported by strong sales of higher-margin models and ongoing optimization of our cost structure, we maintained healthy gross and vehicle margins despite rising cost pressures.”
Nio’s performance after earnings mirrors that of other companies. For example, BYD stock dropped to $11, its lowest level since July 23rd, even after it reported a strong profit. Xpeng stock dropped to $11.36, down by 60% from its highest point last year.
Li Auto shares plunged to $12.10, down by 30% this year, while Polestar is down by over 40%. Other Chinese EV companies like Xiaomi and Zeekr have all dropped substantially this year.
BYD highlighted some of the challenges that the company is facing. In its earnings last week, BYD noted that the industry was contending with higher costs and sluggish demand. As a result, the management is expanding its business globally to offset the weak Chinese demand.
On the positive side, Nio believes that its growth will continue in the foreseeable future. Its deliveries in the third quarter is expected to be between 108,000 and 111,000, with its revenue growing by over 50% YoY.
