On June 18, Horizon Robotics-W fell 3.2% in regular trading, trading at 4.27 HKD/share, with turnover of 173 million HKD. The stock has now declined over 60% from its historical high, continuing to set new lows.
On the news front, BYD previously announced the mass production of its self-developed 4nm automotive-grade autonomous driving chip Xuanji A3, delivering 700 TOPS per chip and over 2,100 TOPS with three chips in parallel. As Horizon Robotics' core major customer — with Journey 6 chips previously shipping 2.5 million units annually — the market is concerned that BYD's in-house chip will directly displace third-party supplier share. Additionally, XPeng and other automakers are accelerating self-developed autonomous driving chips with plans for external supply, further intensifying competition.
Meanwhile, the company's annual report revealed a net loss of approximately 10.47 billion yuan, swinging from profit to loss, while product business gross margin dropped nearly 12 percentage points from 46.4% to 34.5%. Research and development expenditure reached 5.15 billion yuan, exceeding total annual revenue of 3.76 billion yuan, raising questions about the path to profitability amid growing competitive headwinds.
