Image source: Sam Robson, The Motley Fool UK I’ve recently been searching for a turnaround stock for my ISA portfolio. And NIO (NYSE: NIO) has caught my eye, given that the stock is down almost 20% for the year. Over four years, it’s crashed 92% and now trades for just $3.50!

Contract delays, cost overruns, high debts and accounting issues meant it significantly trailed the likes of BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce. Yet while risks remain — it booked another £90m cost overrun provision on a Royal Navy contract — the FTSE 100 company looks a very different beast following heavy restructuring. Babcock’s share price has rocketed 120% over the past year, giving it a place in the prestigious Footsie blue-chip index. Given that global defence spending’s tipped to continue soaring, can…
