The 180-day lock-up period on shares of Chinese electric car maker Xpeng Motors expired February 22 EST, and they will be free to float from February 23.
That means Xpeng insiders will be able to trade their holdings freely. The size of the lockup is currently unknown.
Edison Yu, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, alerted this to investors on Twitter, saying "it's been a tough few weeks for bulls......4Q ER (earnings report) can potentially change narrative."
Reminder everyone $XPEV lock-up expires tomorrow, it's been a tough few weeks for bulls, sentiment is getting hit by competition (Geely, Xiaomi, $BIDU, $AAPL, etc...) and my sense is there is also EV fatigue from all the SPACs; 4Q ER can potentially change narrative
