Glad to see Nio is fighting back and taking legal action instead of just ignoring it.

"Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) has filed a report with the police, alleging a recent surge in online rumor-mongering and smear campaigns targeting the company.

The Chinese EV maker said in a statement on Friday that it has secured evidence of the infringement.

The company said the police have accepted the case, and it will resolutely take legal action to hold the infringers accountable."

"We’ve raised our fair value estimate of Nio stock. $6.50."

"CMB International upgraded Nio to Buy from Hold on Friday, the brokerage’s first Buy rating on the stock in roughly three years, capping a week of bullish analyst moves after the Chinese EV maker’s first-quarter results."

"On May 21, 2026, NIO Inc (NYSE: NIO) reported impressive financial results for the first quarter of 2026, achieving an operating profit of 66.8 million yuan, marking the second consecutive quarter of profitability. The company generated total revenue of 25.53 billion yuan, a 112.2% year-over-year increase, with gross profit reaching 4.86 billion yuan, up 428.4%. The overall gross margin hit a four-year high of 19.0%, driven by strong sales of high-margin models like the ES8 and the upcoming ES9."

"Rivian isn’t just creating the algorithms that program their vehicles, it’s creating the silicon, the computer chips that the programming calls home, too. This is a step closer to vertical integration than any other automaker, and why Rivian is Newsweek’s World’s Greatest Auto Disruptor Technology Disruptor of the Year.  

“Building our own silicon is the next step in our journey to remain vertically integrated and drive technology innovations. It allows us to design the full stack together, own the efficiency of the entire system—from silicon to software—and optimize it specifically for our vehicles and customer experience,” Vidya Rajagopalan, Rivian’s senior vice president of electrical hardware, told Newsweek."

"Bold price target: Benchmark's Mickey Legg projects Rivian shares could rise nearly 79% to $25, citing multiple growth catalysts.

R2 launch stakes: Mass-market R2 SUV deliveries to employees have begun, with customer shipments imminent, marking a critical test for Rivian’s scaling ambitions.

Strategic partnerships: A $1.25 billion Uber deal and Georgia plant expansion aim to boost long-term capacity and autonomous vehicle capabilities."

Yes, we already know this, but having a state Governor announce it to the public is always great news. Fantastic free publicity.

"Underneath the auto business, Rivian is building three software-driven revenue streams with higher margins, recurring economics, and longer-duration cash flows than vehicle manufacturing.

If they scale successfully, Rivian’s valuation framework could shift materially. Below, we outline how that could drive a potential 10x upside in the stock."

"After its latest investment round, Rivian's robotics company is now worth more than $3 billion.

Robotics should help Rivian improve its manufacturing, and it plans to sell robots to other companies.

Rivian is playing the long game in industrial robotics, a market that could be worth $70 billion by 2030."

Rivian Automotive Inc. on Tuesday launched its new voice-activated AI assistant in the latest software update to its electric vehicles.  

“Unlike basic voice command tools found in phone-mirroring systems, Rivian Assistant is built directly into your vehicle’s hardware and software, providing the unique power to talk to every aspect of the vehicle and get things done for you,” the company said in a blog post.
