NIO-SW (09866.HK) (NIO.US) announced its second share placement within six months to raise RMB7.2 billion, according to Nomura's report.

If the over-allotment option is fully exercised, the fundraising could reach up to RMB8.3 billion, which is estimated to dilute existing shareholders by 7.5-8.6%.

In Nomura's opinion, the fundraising will be a tailwind for NIO-SW's development plans, including technology and new model R&D, battery swapping and charging networks, and reversing the negative total equity status in its balance sheet since 1Q25.

Given that NIO-SW has been consistently loss-making and entered a negative total equity status, the company is believed to be considering capital market financing as a potential plan. Nomura estimated the fundraising might be sufficient to support its balance sheet at least in the short term.

Nomura also viewed NIO-SW's NIO Day 2025 on September 20 as a crucial event, as the new ES8 will be officially launched with its price unveiled.
