0727 GMT - BYD is likely to sell more than 400,000 units in September after the Chinese auto giant's August deliveries beat market consensus, Citi analysts write in a note. The strong sales momentum in the past two months is mainly due to overwhelming demand for its models with upgraded hybrid technology and production ramp-up, they say. Citi expects BYD to have a consistent 5% on-month growth in October, November, and December. The higher sales will likely be supported by stable export growth and more high-end and super-sized models from 2H, which will help BYD raise its average selling price sequentially, Citi says. The brokerage maintains its buy rating for the stock, which is at HK$233.80. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
