XPeng Sinks 7% as Q2 Miss Overshadows $6.3B Robotics Valuation, NIO Drops 4%, Tesla Slips

XPeng shares fell between 7% and 9% after the company missed second-quarter targets and issued a weak revenue and delivery outlook for the third quarter. This decline occurred despite the company's robotics unit achieving a valuation of over $6.3 billion following a record funding round. The market reaction reflects growing competition in the Chinese electric vehicle sector and widening net losses linked to the company's push into physical AI. NIO shares also dropped 4% and Tesla saw a slight decline.
