BYD Stock Plunges 30% on Profit Slump – Is the EV Price War to Blame?
BYD reported a 32.6% drop in Q3 net profit to ¥7.8 billion and cut its 2025 sales target by 16% on Oct. 30. The Hong Kong stock slid to HK$104.20, down about 30% from May highs, erasing over $45 billion in market value. Q3 deliveries in China fell for the first time since 2020 amid fierce EV price competition. Overseas, BYD registrations in Europe surged nearly fivefold in September.
