So what
While there are good reasons to be bullish on NIO’s long-term prospects, it’s hard to argue with the notion that the stock has become expensive. After all, this is a company that sold just 43,000 vehicles in 2020 — and it’s still sporting a market cap nearly twice that of Ford Motor Company.
Investors who have been around The Motley Fool for a while know that some stocks that seem expensive now often look cheap in retrospect. That could turn out to be true of NIO. But I think it’s very possible that today’s downward movement is related to declines in Tesla, Bitcoin, and similar assets in the sense that lots of things are looking expensive — and some investors may be responding by moving to reduce overall portfolio risk.
That might well include taking some NIO profits, and that could be why the stock is down today.
