Nio Just Dropped 25% in a Month. Is It Time to Sell?

Nio (NIO) fell 25% in a month after Q2 revenue missed estimates and Q3 guidance disappointed, dropping below J.P. Morgan's $4.50 price target. Despite 49.4% YoY vehicle delivery growth, chip cost inflation impacted revenue per vehicle. Peers XPeng (XPEV) and Rivian (RIVN) saw smaller declines, suggesting Nio's selloff is company-specific.
