NYSE:NIO was a part of a larger group of Chinese ADR stocks that were dragged down by disappointing tech earnings in China. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong fell by 1.3% during the day, marking the second straight negative session. Shares of Nio fell by 3.18% in sympathy and closed the trading day at $38.41. With the drop, Nio is on the verge of losing its key 50-day moving average, which would present a bearish short-term downtrend. Falling alongside Nio on Thursday were domestic rivals XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) and Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) which were down 2.13% and 3.73% respectively during the session.

Alibaba also slashed guidance for the rest of the year, lowering its expected revenue growth by 5-10%. Alibaba's rival JD.Com (NASDAQ:JD) saw its shares rise by 5.95% stateside as the company managed to top estimates and grow its annual active customers by 25% year over year.

In some interesting news on Thursday, Nio has established a potential new customer base as it delivered its first eight electric vehicles to the Qingdao Police force.

Nio also recently established a battery swap station in Qingdao, as well as a 180 kw charging hub.
