NIO Stock Rises as Tesla Sells Off Following First Profitable Quarter
March 19, 2026, 9:53 PM EDT. NIO Inc. shares edged up 1.2% to $5.89, breaking a two-day slide and defying a broader Nasdaq decline and Tesla's 3.2% drop amid regulatory scrutiny. The electric vehicle maker reported its first-ever quarterly net profit, driven by record deliveries and a vehicle margin of 18.1% in Q4, signaling healthier unit profitability. Despite weaker trading volume, investors remain cautious, balancing optimism from HSBC's upgraded Buy rating and raised $6.80 price target against DBS analysts' Hold stance citing sector headwinds and strong competition. CEO William Li warned of chip shortages raising costs by up to 10,000 yuan per car, risking production halts. Focus now falls on NIO's ability to meet 2026 delivery targets without squeezing margins amid a tough Chinese auto market.
