One day after the American depositary shares of Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE: NIO) hit their lowest level in over a year, the shares are jumping today. The thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in the electric vehicle sector.
Recovering from a three-day sell-off, shares of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA) stock bounced back on Thursday and are up 7.2% as of 11:11 a.m. ET. Alibaba's bounce back appears tied to a Bloomberg report yesterday that the company is "weighing options" to dispose of its 30% stake in Weibo (NASDAQ: WB), the "Chinese Twitter," and may sell its Weibo shares to "a state-owned firm." There are at least a couple of reasons why such a move could be good for Alibaba.
Privately held Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Cenntro had apparently good news for investors on Dec. 27 when it reported the manufacture of more than 600 commercial EVs and their delivery to European clients. Despite this upbeat news, its ally, intimate apparel company Naked Brand Group (NASDAQ: NAKD), saw its shares drop 6.74% by the close of trading on the same day. Naked's stock price slipped below the bare minimum of $1 per share needed to avoid Nasdaq delisting early in 2021, leading it to look around for a merger partner to bring its share price above the critical threshold.

If you haven't been paying close attention to Vector Group (NYSE: VGR) stock lately, you might have woken up to a shock today. At a share price of $11.27 as of 10:45 a.m. EDT Thursday, Vector's stock seems to have lost a third of its value overnight, after closing at $17.16 Wednesday evening. Instead, what happened is that after close of trading yesterday, Vector completed the spinoff of Douglas Elliman Realty (NYSE: DOUG), its New York-based commercial real estate brokerage, effectively dividing itself into two stand-alone companies.
