EV-Maker Nikola's Stock Hits New All-Time Low: What's Going On?

Nikola Corporation NKLA shares are trading at new all-time lows Monday as the stock moves lower on continued downward momentum following a reverse split last week. 

The Details:

Last week, Nikola effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. 

According to data from Benzinga Pro, shares are trading well-below the stock’s 50-day moving average of $15.74 and is marking new all-time lows on Monday.

“This is a first for a retailer in Canada and is an example of how we will continue to push forward, embrace new technology and spark change within the industry,” Walmart Canada CEO Gonzalo Gebara said. 

The Class 8 vehicle has a range of about 800 kilometers and, on average, can avoid 97 metric tons of CO2 tailpipe emissions annually, Nikola said.
