Despite its higher corporate valuation than last year, Nio has dropped in the latest Hurun World 500 list.
The list released Friday shows Nio ranked 246th, with a corporate valuation of RMB 430.9 billion ($66 billion). That's a drop of 17 spots from its ranking last year.
The English version of the Hurun list appears to incorrectly replace "100 million" with "1 billion". We have based the following on its Chinese list, but have provided screenshots of the English list.
In 2020, Nio was ranked 229th with a lower valuation of RMB 403.9 billion.
