Rivian stock tumbles on UBS sell call — what to watch before Thursday’s open

Rivian stock tumbles on UBS sell call — what to watch before Thursday’s open

New York, January 14, 2026, 21:33 (EST) — Market closed. Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) shares dropped 7.2% to $17.50 on Wednesday following a downgrade from UBS, which cut the EV maker to Sell from Neutral. Despite raising its price target to $15, UBS warned the stock remains “prone to sentiment swings.” (TipRanks) With U.S. markets closed, the downgrade hits as a reality check for a stock driven more by hype — autonomy, software, a cheaper model — than by new information. The market’s focus now is on whether Rivian’s next move will come from strong deliveries and improved margins, or if

Rivian stock sinks on UBS sell call as Wall Street cools on AI, R2 hype

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:54 EST — Regular session Rivian Automotive shares dropped roughly 7.6%, closing at $17.42 Wednesday afternoon, following UBS’s downgrade of the EV maker to “Sell.” (Investing.com) Investors have been banking on Rivian’s autonomy and software angle, hoping the cheaper R2 model will boost sales. But with 2025 deliveries dropping 18% and barely hitting estimates, the pressure mounts on the next product cycle and the earnings outlook. (Reuters) UBS analyst Joseph Spak highlighted “elevated expectations” surrounding AI and the upcoming R2, adding that “most AI-related news is already reflected” in the stock. He also noted “limited

NIO stock drops again as EU tariff rethink and China sales slowdown hit sentiment

NIO stock drops again as EU tariff rethink and China sales slowdown hit sentiment

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 11:39 EST — Regular session Shares of Nio Inc dropped 1.6% to $4.61 in late morning trading Wednesday, as electric vehicle stocks struggled amid fresh signals on demand and trade policy. XPeng dipped 0.8%, Li Auto fell 2.3%, and Tesla lost around 2%. The pullback is significant as Nio continues to demonstrate growth without relying heavily on price cuts, in a market where discounting has become second nature. Any shift in the regulations around selling in Europe introduces fresh uncertainty for a stock that thrives on news momentum. Europe finds itself caught in the middle

Tesla stock dips as Musk kills the $8,000 Full Self-Driving buy option

Tesla stock dips as Musk kills the $8,000 Full Self-Driving buy option

New York, January 14, 2026, 10:11 EST — Regular session Tesla shares dropped roughly 1.8% Wednesday morning following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will phase out one-time purchases of its Full Self-Driving software, switching to a subscription-only model. The stock slipped $7.98 to $439.22, after closing Tuesday at $447.20. (Reuters) The timing is tricky for a stock driven as much by its software ambitions as its vehicles. Investors are focused on whether Tesla can steady its revenue from driver-assistance—and if regulators will allow it to do so. The math shifts for customers too. While a subscription might boost

Tesla stock slips as Musk pulls $8,000 Full Self-Driving option, goes subscription-only

New York, January 14, 2026, 09:39 ET — Regular session Tesla shares dipped about 0.4% to $447.20 in early Wednesday trading, after closing at $449.04 Tuesday. CEO Elon Musk announced the company will stop selling its Full Self-Driving software outright, switching to a monthly subscription model starting Feb. 14. The driver-assistance package, now called “FSD (Supervised),” currently costs U.S. buyers $8,000 upfront or $99 per month. U.S. safety regulators launched an investigation last year into 2.88 million Teslas with the system, following over 50 reports of crashes and traffic-safety issues. (Reuters) Tesla’s pricing adjustment goes beyond a simple checkout tweak.

EU Tariff Relief? BYD, Xpeng Shares Jump on Plan to Swap Chinese EV Duties for Minimum Prices

EU Tariff Relief? BYD, Xpeng Shares Jump on Plan to Swap Chinese EV Duties for Minimum Prices

Hong Kong, Jan 14, 2026, 15:39 HKT Shares of BYD and other Chinese EV makers surged Tuesday following a European Commission hint that import tariffs might be swapped for a minimum-price mechanism. BYD jumped as much as 4.8% in Hong Kong, Xpeng climbed 5.3%, and SAIC Motor’s Shanghai-listed shares rose up to 3.6%. (Bloomberg.com) This development is significant since the EU’s tariffs on China-made EVs are at the heart of Brussels’ toughest trade battle with Beijing. European automakers, facing competition from lower-priced Chinese models gaining ground, have been demanding clear answers. Now, the discussions seem to be edging toward a

BYD and Xpeng pop as EU hints at a minimum-price alternative to China EV tariffs

HONG KONG, Jan 14, 2026, 15:40 (HKT) Shares of Chinese electric-vehicle makers rose in Tuesday trading after the European Commission mapped out a route that could let exporters swap EU tariffs for minimum price commitments. BYD climbed as much as 4.8% in Hong Kong, Xpeng gained 5.3% and SAIC Motor’s Shanghai-listed shares rose as much as 3.6%. (Bloomberg.com) The rally comes as Brussels tries to contain a trade fight that has become a sore point with Beijing and a pressure point for carmakers selling into Europe. The Commission finalised an anti-subsidy probe in October 2024 and imposed definitive countervailing duties

EVTV stock jumps again as Envirotech Vehicles rides AZIO AI’s $107 million GPU order headline

EVTV stock jumps again as Envirotech Vehicles rides AZIO AI’s $107 million GPU order headline

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 13:06 EST — Regular session Envirotech Vehicles, Inc (EVTV.O) saw its shares surge roughly 84% to $4.61 on Tuesday, pushing a two-day rally that has made the small U.S.-listed stock a momentum play. During the session, shares fluctuated from $2.62 up to $4.75. (Google) The significance lies in EVTV’s modest market cap—around $22 million—being linked to a far bigger revenue number. That discrepancy alone can draw quick capital, despite sparse details and delayed timelines. AZIO AI, the company Envirotech Vehicles is looking to acquire, announced Monday it secured a binding purchase order for 256 Nvidia

NIO stock steadies in premarket after Europe pledge as EU lays out tariff workaround

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 04:34 EST — Premarket Nio Inc shares slipped slightly in early premarket Tuesday after the Chinese EV maker vowed to push forward with its European operations. This comes as Brussels proposed a potential path for China-made electric vehicles to sidestep EU tariffs. The U.S.-listed ADR dipped about 0.2% to $4.84, following a 4.5% gain on Monday when it closed at $4.85. (Reuters) The European policy shift matters for Nio because access to Europe has become a question of pricing and margins, not just sales. A clearer route to ship cars without extra duties could alter

Envirotech Vehicles stock jumps 442% on AZIO AI $107 million order as traders eye Jan. 20 vote

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 03:54 (EST) — Market closed. Shares of Envirotech Vehicles Inc jumped 442% Monday, closing at $2.51 after fluctuating between $1.01 and $2.62 amid a volume spike to roughly 761 million shares. The stock traded again in after-hours, hitting $3.16, close to a $3 reference price linked to a proposed transaction. (StockAnalysis) This matters because EVTV is a microcap stock, and the headline driving its trade had nothing to do with vans or buses. Instead, it focused on AI infrastructure and a purported government order that, if it turns into actual revenue, would be significant compared

Envirotech Vehicles stock surges 442% after partner flags $107 million Nvidia GPU order

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 19:21 EST — After-hours Shares of Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (EVTV) surged 442% on Monday, closing at $2.51, and climbed another 21% in after-hours trading. The rally followed a merger partner’s announcement of a significant Nvidia chip order. Volume soared to 756 million shares, per market data. (StockAnalysis) This move counts because the order stands as a key piece of AZIO AI’s pitch — and Envirotech’s stock is the public face linked to it. With a micro-cap profile, even slight changes in outlook can send the shares sharply in either direction. This highlights the disconnect between

XPeng (XPEV) stock jumps 8% as flying-car IPO report hits tape, EU tariff rules in focus

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 13:10 EST — Regular session Shares of XPeng Inc, listed in the U.S., jumped Monday following a Bloomberg report that the Chinese EV maker tapped JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley to lead an IPO for its flying-car unit in Hong Kong. The stock rose 8.2% to $21.66 in early afternoon trading. (Bloomberg.com) This shift is crucial as XPeng pushes investors to look past its car business — toward autonomy, robotics, and now “low-altitude” air mobility — even as the crowded, price-driven China EV market drags. Spinning off a separate listing lets the company fund those ambitions
