NIO's short percent of float has fallen 3.43% since its last report, with 184.95 million shares sold short, which is 11.26% of all regular shares available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.13 days to cover their short positions on average. This decrease in short interest can signal that investors have become more bullish on the company.
NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO), a leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has seen a notable decrease in its short interest, signaling a shift in investor sentiment. As of July 2, 2025, NIO's short interest has fallen by 3.43%, with 184.95 million shares sold short, representing 11.26% of all regular shares available for trading [1].This decline in short interest indicates that investors have become more bullish on the company. Traders would need an average of 3.13 days to cover their short positions based on the stock's trading volume, a decrease from the previous ratio of 5.0 days [1].
Several institutional investors have reported short positions in NIO, including Credit Industriel ET Commercial, Jane Street Group LLC, and Millennium Management LLC, among others [1]. These positions are disclosed in Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NIO's short interest percentage of 11.26% is below the threshold of 10%, suggesting positive investor sentiment and few short sellers. However, compared to its competitors in the automobiles and trucks industry, NIO's short interest remains relatively high. For instance, Li Auto Inc. and Stellantis N.V. have short interest percentages of 3.13% and 3.14%, respectively, while Rivian Automotive, Inc. has a significantly higher short interest of 21.34% [1].
The decrease in short interest could be attributed to several factors, including positive earnings reports, strategic partnerships, or improvements in the EV market. However, it is essential to monitor the company's performance and market trends to understand the long-term implications of this shift in investor sentiment.
