Deutsche Bank Analyst: NIO is as popular as BMW and Mercedes-Benz
NIO Auto rose nearly 11%
The performance of US stocks was lackluster last night, and the three major stock indexes all pulled back slightly.
However, NIO Auto once rose more than 12% and closed up 10.85%. Its stock price reached a record high, with a market capitalization of 28.1 billion US dollars.
According to the news, in a report entitled “Who will become the next iconic car brand”, Deutsche Bank reiterated its purchase rating for NIO and its target price of $24, which is about 27% higher than the company's closing price on Monday.
According to Deutsche Bank, NIO may become the next iconic car brand.
Deutsche Bank has seen compelling evidence that NIO is increasingly viewed by customers as a high-quality brand with first-class technology and service. Analyst Edison Yu said that NIO's recommendation rate was 62%, and pointed out that a study found that NIO was as popular among customers as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In another report, NIO surpassedTeslaBecome the most reliable battery electric car.
Edison Yu believes that with the popularity of electric vehicles and the spread of NIO's reputation, NIO believes that as consumers begin to understand the value proposition and quality of its products and services, NIO can occupy an important share in the high-end market.
The report also expects NIO's third and fourth quarter deliveries to reach record highs, driven by its SUV EC6.
Edison Yu believes that four Chinese automakers, with the support of large, well-capitalized technology companies and ambitious local governments, are preparing to make a big splash in the NEV industry. He called them the four new car builders - NIO, Xpeng,Li AutoWM Motor and believes NIO is the leader because it has a stronger brand awareness, higher sales volume, a focus on the high-end SUV segment, and a market-tested operating record.
Edison Yu doesn't think the NEV market is a zero-sum game. He believes that customer demand can support the above four new car builders and Tesla, because there is still a lot of room in the market, and these electric vehicle companies can seize market share from traditional ICE car manufacturers.
Deutsche Bank analysts said bluntly that since coverage of this stock began on September 8, NIO's stock price has pulled back because the stock does not have the star appeal of competitors such as Tesla. However, Deutsche Bank believes that this is not surprising considering the company's relatively young age, but research shows that NIO is building brand loyalty.
However, due to last night's sharp rise, NIO Auto's annual increase has reached 418.66%, surpassing Tesla's annual increase (400.88%).
