NIO Inc. USD OV (NIO.SI) experienced a significant intraday surge of 3.28% on Tuesday, reflecting strong positive investor sentiment.
The price movement follows an upgrade from Goldman Sachs, which changed its rating on NIO to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target. Analysts cited expectations that the luxury ES8 and ES9 SUVs will sell well, improving the company's profitability and free cash flow.
Goldman Sachs projects NIO to reach break-even operating profit in 2026 and achieve its first positive operating profit in history by 2027, driven by anticipated sales growth to approximately $24 billion. The new price target represents an increase of more than 45% from recent closing levels.
