BYD: Record Sales and Global Lead, Profit Below Expectations

BYD delivered more than 490,000 new energy vehicles in October 2026, with exports up by 102.8%, and remains the market leader in China; the manufacturer is presented as the best-selling electric vehicle brand in 2026 and surpasses Tesla in this segment, while Toyota retains the global top spot. In the third quarter, it sold 1.32 million vehicles and surpassed the Renault-Nissan alliance, but its net profit, up 28% to 10.02 billion yuan, disappointed analysts. These performances are accompanied by strong stock volatility, between a search for the title after October sales and a 27% drop, with questions about valuation and signs of growth fragility. National angles differ: China follows domestic dominance and sales, the United States compares BYD to Tesla and follows investor movements, while Japan notes still modest volumes (1,271 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026).
