Here’s what ayondo Chief Trader Jordan Hiscott has to say about NIO:
“With the recent IPO of electric car specialist, NIO Inc. the interest surrounding the company is extremely high. With Tesla usually dominating the headlines as the current market leader in the electric car market, NIO Inc. adds a degree of competition to the sector and a whole host of trading opportunities.
The company is headquartered in Shanghai, China and has around 4000 employees – it began its existence in 2014 and in just over 4 years has grown hugely culminating in its $10 billion listing on the NYSE. As you would imagine the IPO increased interest in the company hugely and from a listing price of $6.26 just a couple of days ago, at one point, in frenzied trading, the shares had risen with over a 110% gain, now having settled down to trade just below $9.”
At ayondo, you can now go long on NIO!
