Analysis · NIU · Manufacturing
A 24% surge in e-scooter sales volume propelled Niu Technologies to 15% revenue growth in Q2 2026. Yet the top-line strength was overshadowed by a sharp margin contraction—gross margin fell to 16.0% from 20.1% a year ago—and the company swung to a net loss of RMB 102.2 million, a stark reversal from the RMB 5.9 million profit in Q2 2025. The margin pressure reflects a product mix shift toward lower-priced models in China and rising supply chain costs. Despite the red ink, management guided for 10–20% revenue growth in Q3, signaling confidence that volume momentum can continue. The results land against a backdrop of aggressive insider buying by major shareholder Glory Achievement Fund, which has accumulated over $6 million in shares in recent months—a vote of confidence that contrasts with the deteriorating bottom line.
