$NIO Inc(NIO.US) William Li, founder of Nio Inc, warned of a potential 15% to 20% drop in China's auto retail sales this year while predicting Nio's own sales growth of 40% to 50%. The company delivered 150,526 new vehicles from January to May, achieving a 68.70% year-on-year growth, and reported a profit of 68 million yuan in Q1 2026. William emphasized the necessity for companies to enhance foundational skills and adapt to a saturated market, asserting that the transition to pure electric vehicles is irreversible due to improving infrastructure and market penetration trends. This doesn't come as a surprise since China's EV market is incredibly competitive. It would be interesting to see if Nio can indeed keep up the growth rate. @Bridge Buzz SG
