What's Going On With Nikola Stock Today?

Nikola Corporation NKLA shares are trading slightly lower Monday. The company posted its second-quarter financial results last Friday. 

The Details:

Nikola shares rose more than 8% Friday after the company reported better-than-expected results on the top and bottom lines and exceeded the high end of its guidance range for vehicle deliveries. 

DA Davidson analyst Michael Shlisky maintained a Neutral rating on Nikola and lowered the price target from $12 to $10 following the print. The analyst noted Nikola's increased vehicle deliveries and said the company may end up at the higher-end of its full-year guidance range of between 300 and 350 units, given strong demand trends. 

However, the company's quarterly SEC filing revealed a going concern warning: 

"There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We estimate that our existing financial resources are only adequate to fund our forecasted operating costs and meet our obligations into, but not beyond, the fourth quarter of 2024," the company stated in the filing.
