- Nio Inc shares fell 11.4% yesterday, after the short-seller Grizzly Research published a report claiming that it had inflated its revenue figures. Nio used its Wuhan Weineng battery venture to “juice its numbers by pulling forward seven years of revenue,” playing “Valeant-esque accounting games to inflate revenue and boost net income margins,” akin to the accounting scandal that led to the 2016 collapse of the Canadian pharmaceutical firm Valeant, said Grizzly Research, divulging that it has a short position that profits from any tumble in Nio’s stock price.
- Dyna-Mac Holding Ltd (DMHL SP) and Rex International Holding Ltd (REXI SP) shares fell 4.3% and 1.8% respectively yesterday. According to AAA, the drop in oil and gasoline futures prices stemmed from traders’ concerns about an overall drop in U.S. economic activity following the Federal Reserve Board’s three-quarters-of-a-percentage point increase in benchmark interest rates on June 15 — the most aggressive hike since 1994. Economic slowdowns typically lead to downward pressure on oil and gasoline if fewer goods are being made, fewer trips are needed to move them, and fewer consumers are driving to stores to buy them.
- Golden Energy & Resources Ltd (GER SP) and Geo Energy Resources Ltd (GERL SP) shares fell 7.8% and 1.3% respectively yesterday. North China’s Shanxi Province, a major coal-producing region, recently announced a move to increase its annual coal production output by 107 million tons to 1.3 billion in 2022 to ensure domestic energy supply. Shanxi is also seeking to raise coal production by another 50 million tons next year, bringing its annual coal output to 1.35 billion tons, according to a circular issued by the provincial government. Impacted by the prolonged pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the prices of fossil fuels including coal, oil and natural gas surged to record highs, which, along with soaring shipping freight and a strong US dollar, have constrained China’s coal imports this year.
