Tesla’s Top Rival Stumbles: BYD’s Profit Plunge Shakes the EV Market
BYD’s third-quarter profit dropped 33% year-on-year to about €950 million, its sharpest fall in over four years. Revenue slipped 3% to €23.6 billion as price wars and weaker demand cut margins and shrank domestic market share. International sales rose 160% in Q3, with European deliveries up 270% in September. BYD’s shares fell 4% after the earnings report.
