After a wild day on Thursday when NIO Inc. soared by 76 percent, Friday appears to be another volatile session.

The electric carmaker’s stock jumped by as much as 19 percent to $13.80 Friday, the third session since its initial public offering, only to turn negative in the first hour of trade, down as much as 21 percent intraday to $9.22. NIO shares are trading nearly 70 percent above this week’s IPO price.
