BYD faces a tougher growth test

BYD's third-quarter results put the electric-vehicle maker's international expansion at the center of the investment case. The company reported the figures on Thursday, October 29, while Reuters said profit growth slowed and missed broker forecasts.

Net profit rose 28% year on year to 10 billion yuan in the three months ended September. That was below estimates ranging from 11.4 billion yuan to 12.95 billion yuan compiled by Reuters from three brokerages. Profit growth had reached 30% in the previous quarter.

Revenue returns to quarterly growth

Revenue increased 13.6% year on year to 221.5 billion yuan. According to Reuters, the increase reversed a 3% decline in the second quarter and ended a four-quarter streak of revenue contraction.

Strong export growth helped offset persistent weakness in BYD's home market, according to Reuters. The result leaves overseas expansion as a central growth lever, while competition and demand in China remain important risks for margins and future earnings momentum.
