Nio Builds 800,000th Car; Onvo's L90 SUV Marks the Milestone
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with NIO.
Built at the F1 factory in Hefei which Onvo currently shares with Nio the L90 is set to launch officially on July 31; first deliveries begin the very next day. Pre-orders opened earlier this month starting at RMB 279,900 ($39,040); with the battery rental plan, buyers can get in at RMB 193,900 a strategy that's become common in China's highly competitive EV market.
CEO William Li said the 800,000th unit isn't just a milestone it's a launchpad. Nio is now aiming for the big 1 million mark; the company plans to scale up fast with its new F3 factory coming online in September.
The L90's production line shows how far Nio's tech has come. It uses the company's new AI-powered Tiantan self-inspection system, which runs over 1,000 quality checks in just three minutes; the line also features advanced mixed-material manufacturing combining aluminum and ultra-strong steel for a lighter, safer frame.
Test drives started this week; nearly 600 demo vehicles are now spread across more than 400 Onvo showrooms in 140 cities. And while the L90's pricing may dip further at launch a common move to undercut rivals the buzz has already begun.

BOJ Faces Costs From Deposit Facility as Market Eyes Rate Hike
As speculation mounts that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates later this year, there's a growing risk that required payments to its deposit facility could put added strain on the bank's finances. Introduced 17 years ago by then-Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, the deposit facility pays interest on excess reserves deposited by financial institutions. The framework allows institutions to either park funds in excess of reserve requirements with the BOJ or lend them out in the market, thereby guiding short-term interest rates toward the facility's rate through arbitrage.

AMD posts mixed Q2 results but offers better than expected Q3 outlook on AI sales
AMD (AMD) reported its second quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, missing on adjusted earnings per share (EPS), but beating analysts expectations on revenue. The company also provided better than anticipated Q3 guidance of between $8.4 billion and $9 billion. Wall Street was expecting $8.3 billion. The announcement comes ahead of rival and market leader Nvidia's (NVDA) own earnings report later this month. AMD stock was flat following the news. The company's shares are up 44% year to date and 29% over the last 12 months, while Nvidia shares are up 32% and 77%, respectively. For the quarter, AMD saw adj. EPS of $0.48 on revenue of $7.6 billion. Wall Street was expecting EPS of $0.49 on revenue of $7.4 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. AMD says it saw an $800 million impact from the Trump administration's ban on the sale of the company's MI308 AI chips to China. Nvidia took a $4.5 billion write-down from the ban in Q1 and said it expects a larger $8 billion hit in its second fiscal quarter. Trump reversed course on the ban last month, which should help make up for some of those losses in the coming quarters. AMD should also benefit from the launch of its MI350 line of AI chips, designed to go toe-to-toe with Nvidia's Blackwell-powered chips. According to AMD, the MI350 line, which includes the MI350X and MI355X, offers four times the AI compute performance and a 35x increase in inferencing capabilities versus its predecessors. AMD's Data Center segment revenue topped out at $3.2 billion, meeting Wall street expectations. The company saw $2.8 billion in the segment last year. Beyond the Data Center segment, AMD's Client business, which includes sales of CPUs for desktops and laptops, generated $3.6 billion in revenue versus an anticipated $2.5 billion.
