NIO Q3 Earnings Preview: Options Market Braces for 9.86% Volatility Swing
Chinese electric vehicle Maker NIO faces heightened expectations as it prepares to report third-quarter earnings. Options traders are pricing in a 9.86% price swing—nearly five times its average post-earnings move of 2.08% over the past year. The implied volatility follows a recent 10.48% MOVE index reading, signaling anticipation of significant price action.
Wall Street forecasts $3.12 billion in revenue, a 20% year-over-year increase, with an expected loss per share narrowing to $0.22 from $0.30. Investors will scrutinize updates on new models, cost-cutting progress, and margin stabilization in China's hypercompetitive EV market. Delivery trends remain a critical metric amid intensifying local rivalry.
