Here is how Byd Co., Ltd. (BYDDY) and Honda Motor (HMC) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
BYD Co (HKG:1211, LSE:0HKY, OTCQX:BYDDY) has reported record sales over the course of August as hybrid vehicle volume growth overshadowed that of electric models. Some 373,083 vehicles were sold over the month, marking an increase of 36% on the same month a year ago, BYD said in a statement.
Chinese electric car giant BYD sold a record number of passenger vehicles in August, with sales of hybrids growing faster than those of battery-only cars. Li Auto, best known for its range-extender vehicles, reported 48,122 deliveries in August, down from a record 51,000 in July.
BYD's solid 2Q results show revenue up 26% and net profit up 30%, in line with expectations. Market conditions remain challenging, with deteriorating domestic auto demand and intense price competition. Despite stable margins and strong sales, BYD's valuation at 21x 2024 P/E appears stretched, especially if EV growth slows.

BYD's strong financial performance in 1H 2024, with a 26.1% net profit increase, reflects its resilience despite a challenging market environment. China's economic stimulus measures and BYD's market share growth present a potential investment opportunity, though risks like geopolitical tensions and EU restrictions persist. BYD's liquidity improvements and reduced borrowings enhance its financial stability, but operational challenges suggest free cash flow recovery may be slow.
