Guolian Securities previously pointed out that looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the company guides a fourth quarter sales volume of 0.072-0.075 million and indicates that the production of the Lidao brand can ramp up to 0.01 million in December. Currently, there are ample orders on hand, and the firm expects production capacity to be fully converted into sales. Therefore, while the sales of the NIO brand may be relatively weak in the fourth quarter, the Lidao brand will become the main driver of sales growth. In terms of revenue, the company guides fourth quarter revenue to be around 19.676-20.383 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year growth of 15%-19.2%.
Bocom Intl's previous research report stated that the company maintains a buy rating, with a target price retained at 59.88 HKD/7.7 USD (NIOUS). The current price corresponds to 0.7 times the forecasted sales for 2025, lower than XPeng's/Ideal's 1.2 times/0.9 times, and has partially reflected the fundamentals amid significant losses. The upcoming ramp-up in delivery volume of the Lidao L60 next year, sequential sales growth, and improvements in auto gross margin will support a rebound in the stock price.
