Why It's Important:

After a hot streak up until recently, Chinese EV stocks have come under pressure, although they are still trading with strong year-to-date gains. Apart from the opportunity presented by the booming Chinese EV market, fundamentals and execution matter.

If Nio can sustain its post-pandemic resurgence, some of the premium at which the stock trades could be justified.

Regulatory risk has also come into play, with a Chinese media outlet recently reporting that the country's regulators are planning to clamp down on investments by local EV companies.

What's Next:

Nio said it is in the process of accelerating production capacity expansion in December to accommodate the increasing order growth.

The next catalytic events for Nio are likely to be its December delivery numbers, which are due in the first week of January,  and the

Nio Day,

scheduled for Jan. 9.

Price Actio:

After closing at an intra-day high of $55.55 last Wednesday, Nio stock has come off the level. In premarket trading Tuesday, the shares were advancing 3.70% to $52.40.
