BYD: record sales and growth scrutinized by analysts

BYD delivered more than 490,000 new energy vehicles in October 2026, with exports rising sharply, and remains the leader of the Chinese market; the automaker now outpaces Tesla on electric vehicles and has surpassed the Renault-Nissan alliance in the third quarter. This global momentum is nonetheless accompanied by quarterly profit below expectations and signs of fragility, notably a decline in domestic sales in China in October and dealer discounts highlighted by Goldman Sachs. Analyst recommendations diverge, with UBS and Bank of China taking opposing positions, while Michael Burry increases his stake. National differences mainly concern China, where BYD dominates but is declining, and Japan, where its volumes remain modest with 1,271 vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2026.
