On June 17, BYD Company fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at HK$81.6/share, with turnover of HK$587 million. The decline came amid sector-wide weakness in automobile manufacturers, compounded by persistent fundamental headwinds.
The auto manufacturing sector experienced systematic selling pressure, with peers declining sharply: SERES down 5.0%, Geely Auto down 4.39%, XPeng down 3.91%, and Li Auto down 3.48%. BYD's fundamental backdrop remains challenging — the company reported Q1 net profit of RMB 4.08 billion, down 55% year-over-year, with net margin contracting to just 2.7%. Q1 cumulative sales reached 700,500 units, representing a 30% year-over-year decline. Institutional capital has continued to retreat, with active mutual fund holdings falling below 1.23% and net main capital flow ratio at -81.12% over the past 10 trading days.
Further weighing on sentiment, the new energy vehicle purchase tax policy shift from full exemption to half-reduction has led to demand front-loading, while RMB appreciation caused significant forex losses that eroded profitability. Chairman Wang Chuanfu recently acknowledged the pressure at the annual shareholders meeting, urging patience while targeting global leadership by 2030.
