NIO short interest drops to 5.4%, a 32-month low, showing bears losing conviction, but lacks squeeze fuel.
- Short interest has significantly decreased to 5.4%, showing bears are losing conviction.
- Fundamental catalysts like the ES9 launch, improved deliveries, and profitability expectations are emerging.
- The low short interest means there is less 'fuel' for a potential short squeeze.
¡Follow us 👉 r/NIO⚡. NIO's short interest fell to 5.4% of the float as of May 29, down from 6.3% at the end of January 2026 and 9.1% last June, the lowest level since September 2023.
Quick takeaway: fewer people are willing to continue shorting NIO just as ES9, improved deliveries, and profitability expectations emerge. This doesn't imply a squeeze—in fact, the lower the short interest, the less "fuel" there is—but it could indicate that the bear market is losing conviction.
The most recent official data from MarketBeat showed 137.5 million short shares as of May 15, representing 6.05% of the float, with 4.2 days to cover.
Mua ha ha ha ha! I love it! It’s time for the shorts to feel the heat
Correct , both $60 and $6 are INSANE ! I what’s even more insane is the trend ! It went down insanely while NIO’s sales went up insanely and company is now profitable last 2 quarters .
As for Xpeng , there is a big disconnect between the two. Xpeng sales are declining YoY while NIO is going through the roof , and it’s growing specially in the highest price models…
BYD marketcap : $127B
BYD revenue : $107B
BYD's revenue is 8 times bigger than NIO, BYD's marketcap is 8 time bigger than NIO.
Because the float is too high, they have 2.5 billion shares.
Float too high? Doesn’t mean this stock shouldn’t be like a 50bil company that’s still 4x today’s price.
No amount of retail can move this
Ya, it does.
I know it can impact it or be more easily manipulated that way. Fundamentally this stock should already have a higher market cap.
It doesn't matter at this point. Continue buying every month. $100, $500, $1000, $10000. Eventually the profitability will take care of itself and you will wish you kept acquiring when you could. Seriously, how much longer do you think Nio can stay under $8? In two years we will all wish for Nio to be under $8 so we can buy more. That being said, I am eager to offload 90% of my shares into IonQ.
Well Xpeng didn’t dilute their shares simple
End of the day this is just a meme stock
SpaceX is sucking up funds like a black hole
Very true. At the end of the day, us retail investors will not even move the needle lol. For the stock to go on a bull run we need legitimate institutions to make a hefty investment that makes noise. Unfortunately because of political tension I think that’s much more of a gamble
If you believe self reported short interest is at 32 month low I got a bridge to sell ya
