Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer NIO’s share price surged to $5.70, following the release of its Q4 2025 earnings report, which crushed market estimates. The total quarterly revenue hit $4.95B (75.9% YoY), and the FY25 revenue hit 12.5B. Apart from core financial metrics, operational metrics such as total vehicle deliveries have also bolstered investor confidence.
The sales touched an all-time record of 124,807 units (71.7% YoY). The majority of the sales (~54%) come from their flagship models, including ES8, ET7 sedan, and ES7/ES6 SUVs. The rest of the sales are from ONVO (family) models and premium hatchbacks. Diversification beyond flagships played a crucial role in the revenue growth.
