Are These The Best Chinese Stocks To Buy Right Now?

In the stock market this week, investors may be wondering, why are Chinese stocks down? For the most part, this would be due to a series of crackdowns from the Chinese government. Just last week, Chinese education stocks took a hit as China introduced new rules against for-profit education companies. Now, it seems like the market is strongly reacting to all of this, explaining the current mass selloffs. While Chinese stocks continue to decline, could we be looking at a unique buying opportunity in the market now?

Some would argue that the biggest names in this section of the stock market today boast impressive operations, nonetheless. While new regulations may throw a stick into their growth paths, for now, some of the larger names in the space will likely adapt accordingly. For instance, we could take a look at the likes of Pinduoduo (NASDAQ: PDD) and Daqo New Energy (NYSE: DQ). Firstly, over 720 million users rely on Pinduoduo’s e-commerce services monthly, according to the company’s latest quarter fiscal. Secondly, Daqo is an upcoming name in the renewable energy industry, which continues to expand as sustainability efforts accelerate globally.

These are but two instances of Chinese stocks that are, arguably, able to navigate the current regulatory pressures faced in the market now. Whether it is due to their scale or the relevance of their industries, there are plenty of large-cap players for investors to consider now. With all that in mind, investors could be seeing more value plays among the top Chinese stocks in the market now. Do you have these four top tech stocks on your watchlist this week?

Nio Inc.

Last but not least, we will be taking a look at Nio Inc. Now, most seasoned auto investors would be familiar with the company to a certain extent. This would be the case over the past year as electric vehicle (EV) stocks continue to gain momentum across the board. Not to mention, Nio is also a leading name in the Chinese EV market now, which is currently the world’s largest EV market. In particular, Beijing estimates that 40% of all passenger vehicles sold in 2030 will be EVs. With NIO stock currently trading at $44.68 as of Friday’s closing bell, could it be worth jumping on now?

Despite the current dip in its shares, Nio is not sitting idly by on the operational front. Thanks to its growing array of smart EVs and battery swapping services the company continues to break new ground internationally. Just last week, the company shipped its first batch of EVs to Norway.

Subsequently, reservations and delivery services will be available to Norwegian consumers by September later this year. This would mark the company’s entry into the European EV market which continues to see surges in demand. With Nio seemingly firing on all cylinders now, would you consider NIO stock a top Chinese stock to watch?
