Which will grow faster out of Tesla (TSLA) or Nio (NIO)?

Investors expect Nio to grow faster than Tesla by 2022.

A study conducted by InsiderMonkey, revealed 52% of many respondents agrees electric vehicle makers, in general, will continue to garner investor’s. Although narrowly so, respondents expressed excitement for Nio given many confirmed product announcements and rumors that has been addressed at the company’s annual Nio Day event.

Nio stock rallied 8.55% to 58.92 on Friday, clearing a 57.30 buy point from a cup base. For the week, Nio spiked 21%, following a big upside reversal move in the prior week that offered early entry. So while Nio stock ended the week in buy zone, it’s looking somewhat extended. When a stock races straight up from near the bottom of its base, like Nio did, there’s a good chance that the stock will consolidate or pullback, essentially forming a high handle above or next to the buy point.

Of course, sometimes stocks race from the bottom and then surge higher. The reaction to Nio Day could be a catalyst for big gains or losses, though many of the announcements confirmed reports and speculation.
