NIO Stock Rollercoaster: Record EV Sales, Lawsuit Shock, and What’s Next for the Tesla Rival
NIO delivered a record 87,071 vehicles in Q3 2025, up 40.8% year-on-year, lifting its stock to $7.70 in early October. On Oct. 16, Singapore’s GIC sued NIO for allegedly inflating $600 million in revenue, triggering a 10% intraday stock plunge to $6.30. Shares remain about 50% higher than at the start of 2025. Investor sentiment is split amid ongoing losses, a fraud lawsuit, and fierce competition.
