Conclusion
BYD is showing strong momentum in its NEV segment, with a significant YoY increase in sales and improved ASP and GPM. The analyst has reiterated the BUY rating and raised the target price to RMB223.8, citing optimistic market sentiment and the potential for further growth in NEV sales due to new models and production ramp-ups. The company's financial performance is expected to continue improving, supported by cost control and strong revenue growth in the NEV and handset components segments. The valuation analysis indicates that the NEV segment is currently undervalued compared to peers, providing a risk-reward opportunity for investors.
