Sands Capital Emerging Markets Growth Fund Teeja Boye, CFA and Brian A. Christiansen, CFA | “BYD is a leading electric vehicle and battery manufacturer. Shares traded lower alongside Chinese equities, with company-specific pressure tied to domestic competition and the U.S. Department of Defense's June decision to add BYD to its Section 1260H list of 'Chinese military companies,' which weighed on sentiment. We see early signs of improvement across three drivers that could support a rerating: faster international volume growth, better profit per vehicle, and domestic volume recovery. Retail sales reported by foreign jurisdictions appear to be outpacing BYD's reported wholesale volumes, suggesting some international shipments may not yet have reached local dealers due to maritime delays. Profit per vehicle also exceeded consensus expectations in the first quarter, supported by export mix and premiumization, while domestic sales recovery remains moderate. BYD's May ADAS Technology Day reinforced its technology-driven positioning. The company introduced its in-house Xuanji A3 ADAS chip and announced one year of insurance coverage for city-level ADAS-related accidents. We view these steps as incremental improvements to BYD's product competitiveness and as further evidence that the company should be viewed as an innovative, technology-driven automaker, rather than a traditional manufacturer competing primarily on price.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
