NIO Is About to Report Q1 Earnings Tomorrow. Here Is What to Expect

Chinese automaker Nio Inc. (NIO) is set to report its first-quarter 2025 results on June 3, before the U.S. market opens. Wall Street analysts expect Nio to report a loss per share of $0.35 for Q1 versus a loss of 0.33 in the same quarter a year ago. Meanwhile, revenues are expected to grow by 26% from the year-ago quarter to $1.74 billion, according to data from the TipRanks Forecast page. Notably, Nio has a disappointing earnings history. The company has missed EPS estimates six times out of the last nine quarters.

Ahead of the Q1 print, Morgan Stanley analyst Tim Hsiao maintained a Buy rating on Nio stock with a price target of $5.90 per share. Hsiao believes that Nio’s recent rollout of the facelifted ET5 and ET5 Touring models, along with the updated versions of the ES6 and EC6 SUVs introduced on May 16, could enhance the company’s competitive standing in China’s electric vehicle market.
