🚗 NIO stock price slides even after first profit as Xpeng warning hits China EVs

NIO’s U.S.-traded ADRs slid 7.8% to $5.43 on Friday, turning over around 52.8 million shares.

The selloff came as Chinese EV stocks lost ground, Xpeng flagged weaker-than-expected Q1 revenue, pulling the sector down, and Li Auto finished lower too.

This shift comes just as NIO managed to steady itself, turning a quarterly net profit for the first time and projecting a more upbeat first-quarter forecast.

Yet, Friday’s slide signaled investors remain wary, lumping the stock back into the battered China EV basket, where concerns about demand can easily overshadow stronger results. TechStock² reports.


🧲 Why MP Materials stock is back in focus after GM and Apple timelines emerge

Timing is key here: MP wants to prove last year’s jump in U.S. backing isn’t a one-off.

In February, the company posted a fourth-quarter profit, driven by a Pentagon price-support deal and rising magnetics revenue, but investors remain focused on how fast real customer orders ramp up.

Rare earths, 17 metals essential for manufacturing permanent magnets, are key components in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and weapons systems.

MP operates the continent’s only rare-earth mine, processes ore in California, and has a magnet plant in Texas, effectively anchoring it in the U.S. push to cut China out of the supply chain. TechStock² reports.

⚡ ANNA stock slips premarket after 87% rally in previous session as US-Iran war fuels energy trade

Shares of AleAnna, Inc. declined 2% in early premarket on Monday amid a broader market selloff, even as traders on Stocktwits remained glued to the ticket after the stock's staggering 87% gain in the previous session.

The escalating conflict between the U.S. and Iran, along with fresh threats to target each other’s energy infrastructure in the Middle East, has not only lifted shares of major U.S. oil and energy companies but is also driving investors toward smaller, early-stage names, where valuations remain relatively attractive and the potential upside is significantly higher.
