Despite reporting strong second-quarter results, the stock faced selling pressure. The company announced the acquisition of Paradox, but the market reaction was subdued. For the period, the company reported earnings of $2.21 per share, which beat the Street estimates of $2.12.

NIO Inc. ( NIO ) 

NIO’s stock surged 9.27% to close at $5.54, with an intraday high of $5.68 and a low of $5.24. The 52-week range is $7.71 to $3.02. The electric vehicle maker saw its shares rise in premarket trading, driven by optimism around its expanding product lineup and positive analyst support. Morgan Stanley raised its price target for NIO, citing strong demand for its new Onvo brand.

XPeng ( XPEV ) shares climbed 11.66% to finish at $22.75, reaching a high of $23.27 and a low of $21.41. The stock’s 52-week range is $27.16 to $6.91.
