BYD Electronic's stock experienced a significant decline, plummeting 5.25% during intraday trading on Tuesday. The sharp drop reflects heightened investor concerns regarding the company's near-term business outlook.
The decline comes as major Chinese smartphone manufacturers, key clients for BYD Electronic's component and assembly business, have collectively slashed their shipment targets for the year. Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo have reportedly made significant downward revisions to their forecasts, with some cuts reaching 20-30% from initial plans. This reduction in order volumes directly impacts BYD Electronic's revenue stream.
Compounding the issue is a severe surge in memory chip prices, with costs for components like LPDDR5 reportedly tripling. This price inflation severely compresses profit margins for mid-to-low-end smartphone devices, further pressuring suppliers like BYD Electronic. Management had previously indicated that the smart terminal assembly business would face pressure throughout the year due to these market headwinds.
