Ideanomics Inc IDEX shares are trading lower by 9.1% to $2.44 Thursday afternoon, despite a lack of company-specific news for the session. The stock is falling amid weakness in EV- and EV-related companies after Tesla Inc reported worse-than-expected third-quarter financial results.

Why This Matters To IDEX Investors
When Tesla, as a major player in the EV industry, reports disappointing financial results, it can erode investor confidence in the broader EV sector. Investors may interpret Tesla's results as a sign of potential headwinds within the industry, causing them to reevaluate their investments in EV-related companies, including Ideanomics.
A widespread sell-off of EV-related stocks in response to Tesla's disappointing results can trigger further selling in Ideanomics stock. This behavior often stems a desire to limit exposure to a perceived struggling sector.
