BYD Stock Drops Amidst China EV Sales Slump; Investors Eye Global Expansion

Electric vehicle (EV) sales figures in September have caused concern among investors, with China's stock market seeing increased competition. This has led to a decline in sales and a subsequent drop in BYD's stock price on the stock market today.

BYD, the world's leading EV producer, has seen its stock fall by over 3% to around 12.05 euros on Friday, despite no recent company announcements. The stock is currently in the lower range of its uptrend and needs to rise by at least 1.20 euros to gain momentum. Despite the recent correction, analysts remain optimistic about BYD's global electric mobility prospects.

Analyses from early October 2022 offer a mixed but cautious view on BYD shares. One analysis advises waiting and not buying due to weak sales in China and intensifying competition on the stock market today, marking the trend as 'very bearish'. Another analysis highlights challenging market conditions and Warren Buffett's exit, suggesting that some analysts see the resulting price weakness as a potential buying opportunity for those betting on BYD's international growth. Overall, the recommendation leans towards waiting or cautious engagement rather than selling outright, with attention on upcoming quarterly results and international expansion performance.

BYD's latest figures indicate the need for urgent action by shareholders. A new factory is being built in Hungary to directly supply the European market, but exports are under scrutiny as several European countries review possible tariffs on Chinese vehicles. Investors await BYD's response to these challenges and its upcoming quarterly results on the stock market today.
