Nio stock soars on ES8 launch and the rally may only extend further from here

Nio Inc (NASDAQ: NIO) has recently unveiled its redesigned ES8 sports utility vehicle (SUV), which has electrified investor sentiment. The EV stock is currently up more than 40% versus its August low.

Nio has priced its redesigned seven-seater offering at $58,000 only – about 25% cheaper than its predecessor. Plus, the ES8 comes with a battery subscription option that lowers upfront costs even further.

The launch of ES8 electric SUV is being hailed as a strategic pivot in the firm’s push to capture a broader slice of China’s competitive EV market.

Ahead of deliveries set to begin in late September, Nio stock is up over 100% versus its YTD low.

Why redesigned ES8 is a positive for Nio stock?

The third-generation ES8 isn’t just a facelift – it’s a full-scale reimagining of Nio’s flagship SUV.

Built on a 900-volt architecture, it offers a 635 km range, dual-motor AWD, and a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.97 seconds. But the real game-changer is pricing: under the battery-as-a-service model, the ES8 starts at just $43,000.

This aggressive pricing strategy positions NIO to compete directly with other mass-market SUVs, including Tesla’s Model Y. ES8’s tech-forward cabin, panoramic roof, and advanced autonomous driving features further enhance its appeal.

Investors see this as a smart move to regain market share and improve delivery volumes in a price-sensitive environment – which could translate to further upside for NIO shares over time.

Why NIO shares could explode higher from here

Oakoff Investments – a top investor on TipRanks is among those cheering the ES8 launch.

According to them, “Nio’s operational shift and launch of the lower-priced ES8 are game changers, broadening its market and supporting future.”

Oakoff remains bullish on NIO stock for the long-term as SUVs are among China’s fastest-growing auto segments.

Plus, the electric vehicle company is improving its fundamentals as well, with gross profit margin coming in at 7.6% in the first-quarter of 2025 – well above 4.9% a year earlier.

Moreover, the management expects Q4 deliveries to hit at 25,000 units with vehicle margins above 20%. “This trend could gain further steam,” the investor argued, citing expected Q2 cost savings of up to 17% and potential double-digit margin.

Are Nio shares worth investing in 2025?

Nio’s ES8 relaunch has injected fresh optimism into an EV stock that had been battered by price wars and delivery volatility. The firm’s pivot toward affordability and scale is resonating well with investors.

Oakoff Investments maintains a Buy rating in “active mode,” – a view that Wall Street firms seem to share given the consensus rating on NIO shares remain at “overweight” with the highest price target indicating potential for more than 20% upside from current levels.

The next near-term catalyst for Nio stock may be its Q2 earnings scheduled for September 2nd.
