Nio, known as the Tesla of China, could be worth double its current valuation in five years, according to analysts from Evercore ISI.
The stock had a disappointing debut on Wednesday. Nio priced shares at $6.26 apiece, the low end of its range, raising $1 billion. The electric-car maker had hoped to raise $1.8 billion.
And while shares fell 10% in their first day of trading, they soared 75% on Thursday — despite Bernstein analyst Robin Zhu assigning an “underperform” rating and saying he thanks a capital raise is coming in the next 12 to 18 months.
Those gains propelled Nio’s valuation to $12 billion. Wth investors looking further into Nio’s future and expecting the company to run Tesla’s playbook in China, Evercore ISI analysts did the math to see just how much room there is for the car maker to grow.
The research team says China could have 4 million electric vehicles in 2023 with Nio will likely grabbing around 13% of total market share and 42% of mid- and premium- electric vehicles. And the Tesla of China’s current $12 billion valuation could double by that time.
“Enterprise-Value/Revenue multiples for tech companies are 1-3x EV/Rev (TSLA traded 1.4-3.7x EV/fwd 3yr Rev between 2012 and 2015),” the team of Evercore ISI analysts led by Arndt Ellinghorst wrote in a note sent out to clients on Friday.
“The current $12 Billion valuation is likely discounting 250k cars sold in 2021, at~$50k/car, at 1.5x EV/Rev,” they added.
