Single-source brief: TMTPost reports strong Nio financial results, but provides no confirmed humanoid-robot program details.
What changed
Nio released its second-quarter earnings report, according to TMTPost.
The publisher reported revenue rose 69.1% year on year. Gross profit rose 211.3%. Vehicle deliveries rose 49.4%.
TMTPost also said Nio had been profitable for three straight quarters.
Market response
Nio’s Hong Kong-listed shares still fell after the results, TMTPost reported.
On September 1, the shares fell as much as 10% during trading. They closed down 6.39%, according to the publisher.
TMTPost said shares then fell 3.35% the next day. They lost another 1.07% by September 3.
Humanoid robots
The supplied evidence does not confirm that Nio is building humanoid robots. It also does not state why Nio may not pursue them.
There is no disclosed product, research program, funding plan, factory trial, or customer deployment in the available evidence.
That leaves the company’s robotics position unresolved. Nio’s reported earnings strength alone does not establish a move into humanoid robotics.
