Market Analysis

Analyst Vijay Rakesh reiterated his buy rating on Nio stock and his $40 stock price target, which implies 323% upside from Monday’s closing price. Rakesh believes overall global battery EV demand “remains strong,” but geopolitical risks with further restrictions in China, as the country enforces its zero-COVID policy, overshadowed fundamental outlooks for China-based automakers.
