BYD Likely to Strengthen China EV Market Share -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-28

1013 GMT - BYD's rollout of cheaper versions of key models will expand the Chinese electric-vehicle maker's reach and boost market share, HSBC Qianhai says in a note. Analysts led by Yuqian Ding expect the company's lowered entry prices to drive strong order-book momentum as consumers switch to its mass-market EVs from internal-combustion cars. Meanwhile, its EV platform upgrades from 2Q should support higher volume and margins, the analysts say. They also note that China's EV penetration will likely reach 45.5% in March, a new monthly high. On the industry level, the analysts think pricing pressure will "take a breather" in 2Q, with most price cuts already done. New model launches, which spur channel-pricing discipline from EV makers, will also help, they say. (farah.elias@wsj.com)
