Wall Street’s main indices finished mixed on Monday as investors remained cautious amid the escalating trade tensions globally, with President Donald Trump threatening to slap China anew with a 50-percent tariff if the latter does not withdraw its countermeasure.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq was the sole gainer during the day, up 0.10 percent. In contrast, the Dow Jones declined by 0.91 percent and the S&P 500 dropped by 0.23 percent.

Meanwhile, 10 companies—predominantly Chinese stocks—were sold down as investors moved away to minimize the potential risks from the trade war.

In this article, we have identified Monday’s worst performers and detailed the reasons behind their drop.

To come up with the list, we considered only the stocks with $2 billion market capitalization and $5 million in trading volume.

XPeng dropped its share prices for a second day on Monday, slashing 8.7 percent to end at $17.74 apiece as investors disposed of positions in Chinese stocks to minimize the risks amid the ongoing US-China trade tensions.

Especially with XPEV’s plans to double down on its international market expansion this year, the escalating trade war has raised concerns about whether the aggressive program remains on track.

In recent news, XPEV officially entered the Polish market on Monday where it introduced three of its cutting-edge electric vehicles: the flagship G9 SUV, the ultra-intelligent G6 coupe SUV, and the sleek P7 sedan-each of which has earned the prestigious Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating.

It also unveiled the futuristic eVTOL XPENG X2, signaling a bold new chapter in AI-driven mobility that spans from smart EVs to flying cars.

Overall, XPEV ranks 5th on our list of Chinese stocks that performed worst on Monday.
