Comparing the Potential of Nio and QuantumScape in the Electric Vehicle Market
Better EV Stock: Nio vs. QuantumScape
Which of these speculative EV plays has a brighter future?
Nio (NYSE: NIO) and QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) might seem like two very different ways to invest in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Nio is a leading producer of electric sedans and SUVs in China, while QuantumScape is developing solid-state batteries, which could significantly boost the stability, charging time, and range of EV batteries.
- Nio's vehicle margin declined from 13.7% in 2022 to 9.5% in 2023.
- Nio's total adjusted operating margin worsened from negative 27% in 2022 to negative 36% in 2023.
As Nio gradually scales up its battery-swapping networks, analysts expect its stock to rise with a cheaper valuation to sales growth. On the other hand, QuantumScape's potential success hinges on the commercialization of its solid-state batteries in a competitive landscape.
