Macquarie published a research report indicating that NIO-SW (09866.HK)(NIO.US) announced a share placement, believing that injecting new funds will help the group through its financial difficulties in the short term. However, the firm remains concerned about the group's need for further external financing in the future, and expects that the group's free cash flow will still be at a negative level this year. The firm sets a Target Price of 36 yuan for the group, with a rating of 'Neutral'.
The firm pointed out that for Chinese investors, with BYD (01211.HK), Xiaomi-W (01810.HK), and NIO conducting share placements, the market is concerned whether other electric vehicle companies listed in Hong Kong will follow suit.
