Nio investors woke up to some negative headlines out of China as the country is once again imposing its Zero-COVID strategy. The first lockdowns are starting in the casino-hub, Macao. While nothing has been announced for Shanghai or the Anhui Province where Nio has a production facility, investors are preparing for the worst. Shares of other Chinese EV makers like XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) were also trading lower, as well as EV leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) which has a significant portion of its business based out of China.
NIO stock forecast
Another reason for Nio’s stock fall to open the week? Nio announced that it is creating an independent committee to investigate the recent Grizzly Research short report allegations. Much of the allegations revolved around Nio’s battery swap subscription numbers that grossly inflated Nio’s revenues and net income. This news was not received well by investors as many saw it as an admission by the company that the allegations could be true. It will be interesting to see what information the committee is able to come up with, and if Nio will make the findings public.
