Singapore Wealth Fund Sues Nio Over Alleged Revenue Inflation
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/news...-fund-sues-nio-over-alleged-revenue-inflation
Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC has filed a lawsuit against Chinese EV maker Nio in a US court, accusing the company and top executives of inflating revenue and misleading investors. The rare legal move by GIC sent Nio’s shares tumbling in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Nio shares dropped as much as 13% in Hong Kong and 9.8% in Singapore, as news of the legal action ignited doubts over the company’s outlook and its ability to raise more funds. Last month, Nio raised $1.2 billion through a share sale — one of several equity offerings that have brought in billions over the years — but it has yet to post a profit since founding in 2014.
The lawsuit marks an unusual offensive from GIC, which has rarely sued over soured investments.
