NIO (NIO) stock hit its 2023 closing high of $15.46 on Aug. 3 - and after setting an intraday high of $16.18 the next session, the stock's value has since been cut nearly in half. The stock briefly fell below $8 in Monday's session, and is now quite near its 52-week lows. NIO is currently down 45% from that early August closing high, and it's off 48% from that recent intraday peak.
NIO is the most popular Chinese electric vehicle (EV) stock among U.S. investors – or at least, that’s what its trading volumes tell us. Its average 50-day trading volume of 63.5 million shares is three times higher than Xpeng Motors (XPEV), and almost 10 times greater than Li Auto (LI) – which, incidentally, has outperformed its peers over the last couple of years.
