Nio Inc.’s (NYSE: NIO) stock shares experienced a decline on Monday, October 9, closing at a loss of $0.38, or 4.36%, over the past 24 hours. Over the last month, the stock has taken a substantial hit, with a decrease of 19.26%, or -$1.99.
One potential reason for this downturn could be the robust sales performance of other EV players in the Chinese market. The China Passenger Car Association’s latest data indicates that even though Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), a significant market leader, saw a dip in its month-over-month sales in China, other domestic EV manufacturers showcased promising results.
Leading the pack was Warren Buffett-supported BYD Co, which reportedly delivered an impressive 286,903 vehicles in September, reflecting a 40% year-over-year increase. While NIO demonstrated comparable growth percentages, its delivery numbers trailed considerably behind BYD’s.
