BYD’s Overseas Shipments Hit 175,000 in June, but Domestic Drag Keeps the Stock Near Its Floor
Published on 07/06/2026 at 20:14 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
The math behind BYD’s 2026 export target makes for uncomfortable reading. The company needs to ship an average of 168,200 vehicles overseas each month from July through December – a bar it cleared in June with 174,897 units, yet only just. With a full-year target of 1.8 million exports and 791,000 already delivered in the first half, the second-half gap stands at roughly 1.01 million vehicles. Any sign of softening demand in Europe or South America could unravel the arithmetic quickly.
BYD delivered 403,472 vehicles in June, a new monthly record that brought the half-year total to 1,808,511 units. But the stock has barely budged. Trading around €9.40, the shares are still nursing a 14% loss year-to-date and sit just 17% above the 52-week low of €8.03 touched on June 30. Daily moves have been choppy: the share price has fluctuated between €9.36 and €9.42 in recent sessions, with losses of 1.7% to 2.3% on the day, reflecting a market that cannot decide whether the record volume is good news or a distraction from deeper problems.
The central tension is the chasm between BYD’s export boom and its home-market slump. China’s entire EV retail market contracted by roughly 20% in the first half of 2026, according to one estimate, and AlixPartners sees a near-28% drop for the full year. BYD’s domestic sales fell by a double-digit percentage in June alone, as consumer sentiment in the country remains subdued. Overseas deliveries, meanwhile, surged 95% year-on-year in June and accounted for 43% of total volume. That export-dependent mix raises a straightforward question: can the company sustain enough profit per vehicle when the bulk of its growth comes from markets that are still relatively small?
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying BYD?
So far, the numbers are encouraging. Industry estimates peg BYD’s profit per car at roughly 8,728 yuan in the second quarter, up from 5,831 yuan previously, helped by higher-margin exports and a growing luxury portfolio. Sales of the premium brands Fang Cheng Bao, Denza and Yangwang rose 62% in the first half. In Spain, the Denza Z9GT has launched at €101,000, marking an assault on Europe’s upper echelons. In Australia, BYD delivered 18,881 vehicles in June, vaulting past most rivals to become the second-best-selling brand behind Toyota. UK registrations nearly doubled to 37,795 units, giving BYD an 8.74% share of the EV market. Germany added 6,300 new BYD cars in June, a fourfold increase from a year ago.
Yet the headwinds are mounting. The EU has shifted from provisional tariffs to a price?commitment mechanism that caps how aggressively BYD can price in Europe. In the UK, the industry missed its first-half ZEV quota of 33%, landing at 25%, and regulatory adjustments remain uncertain. A 35% import tariff in Brazil is due to take full effect in July, putting pressure on BYD’s local factory there – and in Hungary – to ramp up in time. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs recently downgraded BYD Electronic to “sell,” citing limited upside versus peers, a move that casts a shadow over the broader group.
Technically, the stock is stuck in no-man’s land. The 50-day moving average at €9.93 sits 5.1% above the current price, while the 200-day line at €10.75 is a further 14% higher. The RSI of 53.4 suggests neither oversold nor overbought conditions – indecision in numbers. A sustained push above the 50-day could open a path toward the 100-day average at €10.53, but a failure to hold current levels risks another test of the €8.03 floor. With annualized volatility at 40.5%, the stock can reverse direction quickly.
Two catalysts will shape the near-term trajectory: the official second-quarter earnings release, expected in August, and July’s delivery figures. Investors will be watching closely to see whether per?car margins held up and whether the export run rate can stay above 160,000 units. If BYD’s core “Ocean” and “Dynasty” lines continue to weaken in China, even a record export performance may not be enough to lift the stock far from its lows.
