Nio,
known as the Tesla of China, is soaring, up more than 22%, during
its second day of trading as a public company on US markets
despite receiving an “underperform” rating.
On Thursday, Bloomberg reported Bernstein analyst Robin Zhu
slapped an “underperform” rating on shares with a price target of
$4.20 — some 36% below where shares settled on their first day of
trading. Zhu sees a capital raise coming in the next 12 to 18
months.
The Chinese electric-car maker that’s backed by Tencent had a
dissapointing debut on US public markets Wednesday as shares
opened at $6 apiece, shy of the $6.26 initial-public-offering
price. Nio raised $1 billion through the IPO, missing the $1.8
billion that it had targeted.
And while Nio’s IPO was a big one, it’s not the largest by a
Chinese firm on US markets this year. iQiyi, known as the
Netflix of China, raised $2.42 billion from a Nasdaq IPO in
March. Pinduoduo, an
online group discounter, is the second largest at $1.63
billion.
