NIO (NIO) shares rose nearly 9% premarket in the U.S. after the Chinese EV maker said it expects to post an adjusted operating profit of about RMB700M to RMB1.2B (roughly $100M to $172M) in the fourth quarter of 2025, based on preliminary, unaudited figures.
This would mark the first time Nio has delivered an adjusted quarterly operating profit, compared with an adjusted operating loss of RMB5.54B in the same period last year.
The company said the improvement was driven by sustained growth in sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2025, better margins due to a more favorable product mix, and continued cost cuts and gains in operating efficiency.
NIO +8.7% premarket to $4.83
Shares of fellow Chinese EV makers also rose, with Xpeng (XPEV) +2.7% and Li Auto (LI) +2.1%.
