IPO Status
NIO completed its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2018, raising approximately $1 billion at $6.26 per share. The stock initially struggled in its first year but saw significant gains in 2020 and 2021 as EV stocks surged. The company has faced volatility due to regulatory concerns around Chinese companies listed in the US, leading NIO to pursue a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2022. Despite challenges, NIO continues to expand its product lineup and battery swapping infrastructure.
