Friday's Plunge After Slashed Outlooks

On Friday, Nikola's stock suffered a significant decline of 26.4% following the company's announcement of slashed revenue and deliveries outlooks for 2023. This marked the largest one-day decline since November 30, 2020, when the stock plummeted a record 26.9%. The decline three years ago was a result of a scaled-back deal with General Motors Co. (GM), which was far below market expectations. The stock then experienced another drop of 14.9% on December 1, 2020.
