Stock prices for BYD significantly drop - analysts caution about the potential demise of the company's supposed self-sustaining success
In a significant turn of events, Chinese regulators are tightening the screws on common practices such as high price discounts and delayed payments to suppliers in the Chinese EV industry. This crackdown has had a notable impact on electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, as the company grapples with the challenges posed by these new regulations.
Last Monday, the stock price of BYD plummeted by up to eight percent, a stark contrast to the booming overseas sales the company has been experiencing. BYD's international focus includes key markets like Europe, Brazil, and Mexico, where it continues to challenge its main rival, Tesla.
The Jefferies analysts have suggested that BYD's profitability has been affected by China's tough stance against price cuts in electric vehicles. This assertion is backed by a 30 percent decline in the company's net profit in the second quarter compared to the previous year, due to intense competition on the Chinese market for electric vehicles.
However, BYD's overseas revenues have seen a significant increase of 50 percent compared to the same period last year. This growth is a testament to the company's successful overseas expansion strategy, which includes the construction of factories in various locations.
In line with this expansion, BYD has built a fleet of car-carrying ships to meet the growing demand in markets such as Europe, Brazil, and Mexico. The company is planning to build factories in Brazil, Hungary, and Turkey, further solidifying its international presence.
Despite these efforts, the success curve of BYD could be faltering. Last month, the company surpassed Tesla in Europe for the second time this year, but analysts have suggested that BYD has "lost momentum". This perception, coupled with the challenges posed by the regulatory crackdown, could potentially slow down BYD's global expansion.
In conclusion, BYD's ambitious plans for global expansion are being tested by both the Chinese regulatory environment and intense competition. The company's ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial in determining its future success.
