China's EV Sector Consolidation Likely Taking Near-Term Pause -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-19

0744 GMT - The consolidation of China's electric vehicle sector is taking a near-term pause, with the top 10 players holding 77% of the industry's market, HSBC Global Research analysts write in a note. Fast-scaling newcomers from the tech space, such as Xiaomi, as well as lower-than-expected potential industry mergers, are the reasons for slower near-term consolidation, they add. Beijing's push to address overcapacity in the economy has been driving discipline in supply chain and pricing, they note. Given the pressure on auto demand and a possible slowdown in pricing competition in the coming months, HSBC Global Research prefers resilient suppliers--such as CATL, Horizon Robotics and Ningbo Tuopu--over automakers.
