Profitability milestone reached. “This quarterly profitability also further validates the competitiveness of our technology roadmap, products, and business models,” said William Li, Founder and CEO, on the earnings call. “It also demonstrates the continued strengthening of our operational capabilities and efficiency, providing a solid foundation for long-term sustainable development.” The company delivered positive free cash flow for two consecutive quarters and achieved positive operating cash flow for the full year.
Q1 guidance signals momentum. Management expects Q1 2026 deliveries between 80,000 and 83,000 vehicles, representing year-over-year growth of 90.1% to 97.2%. Q1 vehicle margin is projected to remain flat with Q4, despite rising raw material costs for memory chips and lithium carbonate. The company will launch three new models in 2026, including the flagship Nio ES9 executive SUV on April 9th, the ONVO L80 large five-seat SUV in Q2, and a large five-seat SUV on the ES8 platform in Q3. Li reaffirmed confidence in achieving full-year volume growth of 40% to 50%, citing strong momentum in the premium battery electric vehicle segment, where BEV penetration increased from 14% to 27% year-over-year.
