BYD HK SDR 10to1 shares plummeted 3.43% during intraday trading on Wednesday, as investors reacted negatively to revelations about the company's executive compensation structure in its latest financial report.

The sharp decline followed the release of BYD's 2025 annual report, which showed that despite a 3.46% increase in revenue to 803.965 billion yuan, the company's net profit attributable to shareholders declined by 18.97% to 32.619 billion yuan. More notably, the report revealed that Financial Director Zhou Yalin became the first CFO in the A-share market to earn an annual salary exceeding 10 million yuan, with several other top executives also entering the eight-figure salary range.

Investors appeared concerned about the contrast between declining profitability and rising executive compensation, particularly as the company faces operational challenges in its expansion across new energy vehicles, batteries, energy storage, and overseas markets. The compensation trends suggest a systematic shift in resource allocation that may not align with current financial performance metrics.
