Shares of Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd (01114) surged 7.38% on Monday, buoyed by a surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales from major Chinese automakers. The robust sales data fueled investor optimism towards the country's auto sector, particularly companies like Brilliance China that have been actively pursuing electrification strategies.
Leading the pack, BYD, the world's largest EV assembler, reported a record 502,757 pure-electric and hybrid EVs sold in October, marking a staggering 66.5% year-on-year increase. XPeng, known for its autonomous driving technology, also set a new monthly sales record with 23,917 EVs delivered, while Leapmotor, Zeekr, and NIO all reported impressive sales figures.
The stellar performance of Chinese EV makers underscores the surging domestic demand for electric vehicles in China, a tailwind for automakers like Brilliance China that have embarked on electrification efforts. As the Chinese auto industry continues its transition towards electric mobility, Brilliance China's positioning as an EV player could drive further upside potential for its stock.
