On Sept. 3 at NIO's Q2 2026 earnings media call, co-founder and president Qin
Lihong said the market should focus on the company's "resolve." He said while
some firms chase new market‑cap narratives and technology fads, NIO is actively
embracing AI and prioritizing investment in foundational capabilities and
organizational reform. Qin added that over the past year NIO has heavily
invested in building an AI‑native organization, using AI to empower business and
drive concurrent changes in organizational structure, and that these investments
will convert into sustained improvements in organizational and operational
efficiency.
