what happened
According to Barron's, BYD sold 483,125 passenger vehicles in October, up 11% from a year earlier. Domestic sales fell almost 10% to about 310,000 units, while exports of 170,194 vehicles rose 104% from October 2025.
Year to date, BYD has shipped 1.5 million cars abroad, more than 90% above a year earlier. Its shares were still down about 28% for the year, so the export surge has not lifted the stock.
XPeng, NIO and Li Auto also reported October deliveries, yet their shares were down 35% to 55% year to date.
why it matters
Weak domestic demand and excess capacity in China are pressuring carmakers, including in Europe. Investors do not yet see volume growth or exports as a gain, since earnings forecasts for the sector are falling.
