Here’s what investors need to know. - Nio stock is testing key support levels. Why did NIO hit a new low? ## **China EV Sector Sentiment Cools Following XPeng Q2 Readout** XPeng reported its financial results before the market open, sparking fresh caution across the Chinese electric vehicle space. While XPeng posted a quarter-over-quarter revenue increase of 51.5% to RMB 19.74 billion ($2.73 billion) and expanded its gross margin to 20.7%, broader sector concerns around heavy ongoing AI research investments and persistent price competition in China continue to weigh on investor appetite. ## **Investors Eyeball NIO’s Upcoming Earnings as Q2 13F Filings Highlight Institutional Rebalancing** Monday’s move lower highlights broader market anxiety over China’s premium EV pricing landscape ahead of Nio’s own second-quarter earnings report on Sep. 1. Trading sentiment is also being shaped by recent second-quarter 13F filings submitted to the SEC by the August 14 deadline. The regulatory disclosures revealed significant institutional rebalancing: **D.E. Shaw & Co.** slashed its Nio position by 52.5% (selling 20.1 million shares), while **JPMorgan Chase & Co.** trimmed its stake by 59% down to 2.68 million shares and **Deutsche Bank** reduced its position by 17.9%. Conversely, some major buyers stepped in to absorb supply, with **Morgan Stanley** boosting its stake by 86.2% to become Nio’s largest reported 13F holder (27.4 million shares) and **UBS Group AG** increasing its holdings by 56.1% to 19.27 million shares. Despite recent delivery softness (35,934 units in July versus June’s 40,597) and mixed institutional flows, traders are watching to see if Nio’s expanding multi-brand strategy, driven by its mass-market ONVO and Firefly lines, and capital-light battery swap partnerships can protect gross margins when the company reports next week. ## NIO Shares Slide Monday Afternoon **NIO Price Action:** Nio shares were down 5.40% at $4.37 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data. **Read Also: Bloom Energy Stock Moves Higher: What's Happening?** *Image: Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [MS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS.US.md) - [JPM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM.US.md) - [UBS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UBS.US.md) - [JPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPX.US.md) - [JPMO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPMO.US.md) - [NIO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NIO.US.md) - [XPEV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XPEV.US.md) - [DB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DB.US.md) - [DBK.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DBK.DE.md) - [BE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BE.US.md) - [SSTK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSTK.US.md) - [09868.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09868.HK.md) - [NIO.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NIO.SG.md) - [09866.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09866.HK.md) - [JPM-M.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-M.US.md) - [JPM-C.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-C.US.md) - [JPM-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-D.US.md) - [JPM-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-L.US.md) - [8634.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8634.JP.md) - [JPM-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-K.US.md) - [JPM-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-J.US.md) - [03KB.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03KB.DE.md) - [DPB.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DPB.DE.md) - [MS-O.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-O.US.md) - [MS-Q.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-Q.US.md) - [MS-E.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-E.US.md) - [MS-I.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-I.US.md) - [MS-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-L.US.md) - [MS-P.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-P.US.md) - [MS-A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-A.US.md) - [MS-F.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-F.US.md) - [MS-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-K.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Career Prospects 2026: AI Is Transforming Finance – How Secure Is Your Job?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296574633.md) - [REG - JTC PLC Morgan Stanley - Holding(s) in Company](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296512109.md) - [JPMorgan cuts Soitec stake to 4.57% of capital, 3.65% voting rights](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296805161.md) - [Morgan Stanley lifts Teleperformance stake above 5% to 5.02% of share capital](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296903651.md) - [JPMorgan drops below 5% voting rights stake in Exail Technologies](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296903675.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
