On September 21, NIO-SW declined 3.16% in regular trading, trading at 28.18 HKD/share, with turnover of 27.68 million HKD. The drop came despite a series of positive company-specific catalysts, as broader auto sector weakness weighed on sentiment.

The Automobile Manufacturers sector saw widespread declines, with BYD down 0.55%, LI AUTO-W down 2.94%, XPENG-W down 2.52%, LEAPMOTOR down 0.16%, and GEELY AUTO down 0.5%. The sector has been under pressure after Citi flagged relatively weak domestic NEV demand, noting August retail sales rose only 6.2% month-over-month, with January-to-August cumulative NEV retail volumes declining 12.1% year-over-year to 6.674 million units. Tesla China also recently launched cash incentive programs, intensifying competitive pressure across the EV landscape.

On the company level, NIO-SW recently celebrated its new ES8 reaching the 150,000-unit delivery milestone on its first anniversary, while Morgan Stanley reiterated an Overweight rating with a 68.5 HKD target price, citing management confidence in achieving full-year non-GAAP profitability. However, these positives were insufficient to offset the prevailing sector headwinds.
