BYD continues its global growth despite signs of fragility in China

BYD reported strong sales for October and remains the leader of the Chinese new energy vehicle market, with 3.62 million vehicles sold from January to October 2026 and overseas sales more than doubling year-on-year. The manufacturer also surpassed the Renault-Nissan alliance in the third quarter, but domestic sales fell by 10.6% in October and profitability of its activities in China remains under pressure. On the stock market, the share was sought after after the sales figures and then suffered a 27% drop, analysts still considering its valuation stretched, before rebounding after the denial regarding the halt of a driver assistance system. Chinese coverage focuses on local dominance and the valuation debate, while volumes in Japan remain modest and BYD accelerates the export of electric buses to Singapore and the United Kingdom.
