BYD reports 30% quarterly profit rise driven by surging overseas sales
BYD has reported a 30% increase in second-quarter net profit to 8.2 billion yuan ($1.2 billion), marking its first quarterly profit growth in five quarters. This recovery is largely driven by a surge in overseas sales, which grew by approximately 68% in the first half of 2026, accounting for over half of the company's total revenue for the first time.
Despite the quarterly profit rebound, the company's overall first-half performance showed a 7.13% decline in revenue and a 20.54% drop in net profit compared to the previous year. This downturn is attributed to intense price competition and weakening demand within the Chinese domestic market. To counter these pressures, BYD is aggressively expanding its international presence, particularly in Europe and Latin America, and targeting the premium segment with brands such as Denza and new models like the Da Han.
In terms of infrastructure and supply chain, BYD has installed 10,000 ultra-fast charging stations across China in under six months, aiming for 20,000 by the end of 2026. Additionally, Belgian chipmaker Melexis has signed a Master Purchase Agreement to become a direct supplier for BYD, streamlining the company's electronic component supply chain.
