This is a Chinese automobile maker from Shanghai. It is specialized in designing and developing electric autonomous vehicles. And it is NYSE listed under the ticker symbol NIO. This electrical carmaker’s stock has dropped over 70% from the beginning of this year.

But even with this, the achievements for the beginning of this year were weak. Hence, the company reported a loss for the second quarter and the management announced restructuring with possible job cuts.
