On Friday, Nio and its domestic rivals announced their June vehicle delivery figures. Nio, XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) all posted higher than anticipated numbers, showing that the Chinese EV industry could be back on track following the COVID-induced lockdowns earlier this year. Nio delivered 12,961 vehicles, good for a 60% year over year increase, and a 14% increase for the second quarter. XPeng delivered 15,295 vehicles or a 133% year over year increase, and Li Auto delivered 13,024 vehicles, enough for a 69% rise from 2021. All three stocks closed lower on Friday following the reports.

NIO stock price

What sent shares of Nio tumbling after early session gains? It could be that a price downgrade from Nomura sent investors packing. The investment firm dropped its price target from $51.50 to $28.00, citing potential concerns for the ES7 SUV model. Nomura also dropped its price target for XPeng from $64.60 to $36.30 and lowered its rating from Buy to Neutral. Instead of Nio and XPeng, Nomura is advising investors to look at Li Auto and BYD.
