The Nuveen ESG Large-Cap Growth ETF (NULG) made its debut on 12/13/2016, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund that provides broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Growth category of the market.

Part of the reason electric vehicles (EVs) have grown to be so popular in the U.S. is tax incentives. In the third quarter, EV sales topped 313,000, growing nearly 50% year over year. A big reason for that was the generous $7,500 tax credit created by the Inflation Reduction Act.

In just a matter of days, we'll wrap up what's been a banner year for Wall Street. The iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average recently reached a new all-time high. Meanwhile, the broad-based S&P 500 and growth stock-driven Nasdaq Composite are higher by 24% and 43% year to date,

The persistently high-interest rate environment affected consumers’ ability to afford cars, consequently impacting the sales of  EVs (electric vehicles) in 2023. This led the industry titan Tesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) to cut its prices to boost volumes. As this sector may continue to face macro challenges in 2024, Wall Street analysts are either sidelined or cautiously optimistic about EV stocks. Nonetheless, TipRanks’  Stock Comparison tool shows that analysts favor these two Chinese EV stocks: Li Auto ( NASDAQ:LI ) and Nio ( NYSE:NIO ). With analysts being optimistic about LI and NIO stocks, their average price target suggests significant upside potential. What is the Forecast for Li Auto? Li Auto stock has gained about 63% year-to-date. The notable growth in LI stock reflects its strong delivery numbers, growing revenues, and focus on improving efficiency and lowering costs. Additionally, the introduction of Mega, its all-electric vehicle boasting an impressive 500-kilometer driving range, has contributed to the upward trajectory of its stock price. The company delivered 41,030 vehicles in November, marking a remarkable growth of about 173% year over year. Furthermore, the cumulative year-to-date deliveries have surpassed expectations, reaching 325,677 cars and exceeding the 2023 target of 300,000 ahead of schedule. With Li Auto consistently achieving robust delivery figures, analysts see substantial upward potential in its shares over the next 12 months.  Four analysts cover LI stock, and all recommend a Buy. Further, the  average LI stock price target of $53.75 suggests that it has the potential to rise by 61.9% from current levels. Is Nio Stock Expected to Go Up? Nio stock has underperformed the broader markets, losing about 14% of value year-to-date. Heightened competition led by Tesla’s aggressive pricing strategy and macro headwinds took a toll on Nio’s margins and share price.  Nevertheless, Nio’s focus on driving profitability, production ramp-up, efforts to broaden its collaboration in battery swapping, and growing sales of NT2 products, which command higher average selling prices, are likely to significantly boost its margins.  This is reflected in analysts’ bullish outlook on NIO. With seven Buy and two Hold recommendations, NIO has a Strong Buy consensus rating. Further, the  average LI stock price target of $11.36 suggests that it has the potential to go up by 34.9% from current levels. Bottom Line  While Tesla maintains its leadership in the EV segment, its stock has more than doubled in 2023, keeping analysts sidelined. On the contrary, the improving delivery numbers and margins of Li Auto and Nio keep analysts bullish on their prospects. Also, LI and NIO stocks offer notable upside potential based on analysts’ average price target.  Disclosure
