The latest update is out from Nio ( (NIO) ).

NIO Inc. reported that in February 2026 it delivered 20,797 vehicles, a 57.6% year-on-year increase, bringing year-to-date 2026 deliveries to 47,979 units, up 77.3%, and lifting cumulative deliveries to 1,045,571 as of February 28. The growth was driven by 15,159 NIO-branded premium EVs, 2,981 ONVO family models and 2,657 FIREFLY small high-end cars, while on February 6 the group also marked a landmark 100 million cumulative battery swaps, underscoring widespread adoption of its swapping model and strengthening its competitive position in China’s EV infrastructure landscape.

The 100 million-swap milestone, reached during a period when Chinese New Year holiday demand pushed daily swaps to record levels for five straight days, highlights strong user reliance on NIO’s network and its operational resilience. This momentum in both vehicle deliveries and energy services reinforces NIO’s strategy of differentiating itself through a comprehensive ecosystem of premium EVs and fast energy replenishment solutions, which could further entrench customer loyalty and enhance its standing in the intensely competitive Chinese and global EV markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (NIO) stock is a Hold with a $6.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nio stock, see the NIO Stock Forecast page.
