LI - NIO Stock: Implications Of Suspended Productions And Price Increases

• NIO posted intraday declines of almost 12% during Monday's session before paring losses at 2% following reports of confirmed suspension of operations at its sole production plant over the weekend.
• The EV maker also extended moderate price increases on its SUV models around the same time, citing additional cost pressures stemming from the recent round of COVID lockdowns across China.
• The latest COVID outbreak certainly does not bode well with the already-dampening economic outlook in NIO's core market, as COVID-Zero remains China's top policy priority.
• But despite the near-term headwinds, NIO's longer-term fundamental growth remains strong on a bullish demand environment, in which it continues to capitalize on through expanding its product and technology roadmap, as well as its geographical footprint.
