BYD reports 30% profit jump driven by surging overseas exports
BYD has reported a 30% increase in second-quarter net profit, reaching 8.2 billion yuan ($1.2 billion), marking its first quarterly profit growth in over a year. This rebound was primarily driven by a surge in international sales, which offset a significant slowdown in the Chinese domestic market caused by intense price competition and weakening demand.
In the first half of 2026, BYD's overseas exports grew by approximately 68%, accounting for roughly 44% of its total vehicle sales. While the company's quarterly profit rose, its overall first-half revenue fell by 7.13% and net profit decreased by 20.54% compared to the previous year.
To combat domestic market pressures, BYD is aggressively expanding into the premium segment with new models like the Da Han and brands such as Denza. Additionally, the company is investing heavily in infrastructure, having installed 10,000 ultra-fast charging stations in China within six months. On the supply chain front, BYD has also secured a direct supply agreement with Belgian semiconductor specialist Melexis to streamline component procurement.
