⬤ Nio has issued guidance suggesting the company could finally hit operating profitability in Q4 2025—a milestone it's never achieved before. The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer expects adjusted operating profit somewhere between $100 million and $170 million, with GAAP operating profit projected in the $30 million to $100 million range. Meanwhile, the stock's been trading in the lower end of its recent range after a prolonged slide.
⬤ This would be Nio's first time recording an operating profit since the company started reporting financials. The share price has been holding near support levels after dropping from earlier peaks, showing investors are taking a wait-and-see approach until the company actually delivers on these numbers.
⬤ The company's optimistic outlook signals they expect meaningful improvements in operating performance through the final quarter of the year. Still, these are projections—not locked-in results—so there's always execution risk involved.
⬤ For Nio, this guidance could mark a genuine inflection point, though everything depends on whether they can maintain momentum in the quarters that follow.
