The electric vehicle sector is seeing selling pressure again as investors continue to adjust to the prospect of higher interest rates by peeling away from high-growth, high-PE stocks across the technology sector, which is including many autonomous and EV-related names.
Decliners include Cenntro Electric Group (NAKD-10.3%), Rivian Automotive (RIVN-7.4%), XPeng (XPEV-7.1%), TuSimple (TSP-8.9%), Volta Industries (VLTA-7.6%), Mullen Automotive (MULN-4.6%), Arrival (ARVL-7.6%), Nikola (NKLA-6.5%), Lordstown Motors (RIDE-6.7%) and Embark Technology (EMBK-5.9%).
Ford (F-2.6%) and General Motors (GM-2.1%) are also losing some of their EV premium. On a relative basis, Lucid Group (LCID-2.0%) and Proterra (PTRA-2.0%) are holding up today in comparison to peers. Tesla (TSLA-3.6%) is in the middle of the EV pack in morning trading but is back below $1,000 per share.
