BYD, electric vehicle leader, between growth and doubts

BYD, presented as the best-selling electric vehicle brand in 2026, delivered 490,168 new energy vehicles in October and recorded 3.6217 million sales from January to October, with exports more than doubling year-on-year. In the third quarter, the manufacturer surpassed the Renault-Nissan alliance with 1.32 million vehicles, but its net profit, up 28% to 10.02 billion yuan, fell short of expectations and its sales in China declined 10.6% in October. These mixed results fuel debate over BYD's stock market valuation, with its share price moving in opposite directions and broker price targets adjusted. Chinese coverage focuses on domestic market dominance, margin pressure and valuation, while the United States compares BYD to Tesla, Japan highlights still-modest volumes and Hong Kong tracks broker price-target adjustments.
