BYD Co Ltd

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has edged past Elon Musk's EV giant in global sales for the first time, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation or ICCT.
What Happened: Chinese automakers are "building significant leads in the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market," the ICCT said in a press release as part of its third annual Global Automaker Rating on Tuesday.
BYD exceeded Tesla for the first time in 2024 in BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales, the report says, while maintaining that both companies remain "leaders" in the ratings.
The report also says that the Chinese domestic market now accounts for over 11 million EVs sold annually, which is "more than half" of the total EV sales throughout the globe.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as BYD has been expanding its presence throughout multiple countries, with Europe currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">a key area</a> for the Chinese EV giant.
The company recently launched its best-selling model in Europe, the Seagull EV, which would be called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">Dolphin Surf EV </a>in the region for $26,000.

On the other side of the coin, BYD has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">facing criticism</a> over its aggressive discounts amid China's ongoing EV price war.

Elon Musk Has A New Problem: BYD Beats Tesla In Global EV Sales Amid Europe Expansion

China announced Tuesday that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will attend its flagship China International Supply Chain Expo for the first time in July, marking a significant development as U.S.-China tech tensions reach new heights over semiconductor trade restrictions.
What Happened: Yu Jianlong, deputy director of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, called the participation of over 100 U.S. and European exhibitors a &#8220;vote of confidence&#8221; in China&#8217;s supply chain amid a &#8220;complex and volatile&#8221; global trade landscape, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3314715/nvidia-hands-china-symbolic-victory-attendance-beijing-expo?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article">reported</a> the South China Morning Post. 
The artificial intelligence chipmaker&#8217;s Beijing appearance comes despite escalating export controls that cost Nvidia $2.5 billion in first-quarter revenue. CEO Jensen Huang recently said that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45918580/nvidia-drops-china-from-guidance-after-2-5-billion-q1-revenue-hit-ceo-jensen-huang-says-hes-not-">company no longer includes China in revenue forecasts</a>, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not counting on it, but if it happens, then it will be a great bonus.&#8221;

Nvidia To Appear At China's Top Supply Chain Expo Despite Escalating US-China Chip War: Beijing Calls Participation 'A Vote Of Confidence'

Chinese automakers are accelerating plans to eliminate foreign semiconductors from their vehicles by 2027, with at least two brands preparing mass production of cars using 100% domestic chips by 2026.
What Happened: Major Chinese automakers, including SAIC Motor, BYD (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely Automobile Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYF#OTC">GELYF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYY#OTC">GELYY</a>), Great Wall Motor Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GWLLY#OTC">GWLLY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GWLLF#OTC">GWLLF</a>), Li Auto (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) and Changan are developing models with entirely homemade semiconductors, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/China-s-automakers-aim-for-cars-with-100-domestic-chips-from-2026">reported</a> Nikkei Asia, citing sources. 
China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is shepherding the initiative, regularly requiring self-assessments of domestic chip adoption rates.
The push comes as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45918580/nvidia-drops-china-from-guidance-after-2-5-billion-q1-revenue-hit-ceo-jensen-huang-says-hes-not-">announced it will exclude China from future revenue</a> guidance after U.S. export controls cost the chipmaker $2.5 billion in first-quarter revenue. CEO Jensen Huang told CNN the company won&#8217;t count on China sales, saying, &#8220;if it happens, then it will be a great bonus.&#8221;
Automakers mentioned in the report did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The 2027 target represents a dramatic acceleration from Beijing&#8217;s previous goal of 25% domestic chip usage this year. While not mandatory, the framework incentivizes companies to demonstrate progress toward technological self-reliance.
Chinese electric vehicle makers currently rely heavily on foreign chips, particularly Nvidia&#8217;s AI processors for autonomous driving and Qualcomm Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) solutions for smart cockpits. Progressive U.S. restrictions have raised concerns about component access.
GAC Group is collaborating with domestic contract manufacturers Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. and CanSemi Technology to review supply chains and verify local alternatives, according to the report.

After Nvidia Pauses China Outlook, Top Chinese Automakers Race To Ditch Foreign Chips, Aim For 100% Domestic Supply By 2027: Report

Ark Invest&#8217;s Cathie Wood is raising questions over an unusual discrepancy in Chinese automaker BYD Company Ltd.'s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) reported delivery data, citing a roughly 20% gap between the company's vehicle deliveries and corresponding registration figures.
What Happened: On Sunday, Wood, who is a prominent Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor, posted on X with just a &#8220;?&#8221; while quoting a post by Akaash TK, a research associate at Ark. In his post, Akaash highlighted significant discrepancies in the sales and delivery figures being cited by the Chinese EV giant, with a gap that goes as high as 20%.

&#8220;A 20% gap between BYD&#8217;s delivery numbers and likely registrations from Jan–Apr. Inventory build or something else?&#8221; he asks, referring to the significant differences between the number of vehicles that the company has claimed to have delivered and those that have been registered from January through April 2025.
Akaash questions whether this is an inventory build, referring to a potential rise in inventory in anticipation of a spike in demand, or something else altogether.
BYD did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

A few weeks ago, this prompted Chinese regulators to meet with the country&#8217;s automakers, including BYD, to address these concerns.
China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry was prompted to act following Great Wall Motor Company&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GWLLF#OTC">GWLLF</a>) Chairman Wei Jianjun&#8217;s comments on the matter in recent weeks.
Jianjun said that at least 3,000 to 4,000 vendors on Chinese used car markets were selling such brand new cars, with no mileage, as used cars at discounted prices, according to a report by Reuters.
Price Action: Shares of BYD were down 3.07% on Friday, trading at $16.86 per share in the OTC markets.

Cathie Wood Flags BYD's 20% Delivery-to-Registrations Gap Amid Concerns Over Zero-Mileage Used Car Sales Practices

Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) debuted the new all-electric G7 SUV in China as the country's brutal EV price war shows no signs of relenting.
What Happened: The Chinese automaker received over 10,000 pre-orders for the G7 SUV in under 46 minutes, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/12/xpeng-g7-10000-pre-orders-46-mins/">on</a> Thursday.
Xpeng says display models of the SUV are available across multiple outlets in China. The SUV would retail for around 235,810 Yuan or slightly under $33,000, pitting it squarely against Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cheapest vehicle in China, the Model 3.

The SUV also features Xpeng's Turing AI chip, which is developed in-house by the automaker, marking a shift away from the previously utilized Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) autonomous driving chipsets.
Why It Matters: The G7 debuts in what is a cutthroat market as China's EV price war has put pressure on the country's supply chains, with several automakers, including EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) pledging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45878086/tesla-rivals-byd-xpeng-pledge-faster-supplier-payments-amid-ev-price-war-in-china-report">faster payments to suppliers</a>.
The EV price war was also called out by the Chinese Communist Party's newspaper, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">The People's Daily</a>, which equated it to a ‘rat race' and warned of negative effects on the country's supply chain, as well as product quality issues, among other things.
However, the aggressive pricing strategy continues as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> sedan, which retails for $15,000, undercutting the Tesla Model 3 as well as the G7 SUV's price by almost half.

Xpeng Receives 10,000 Pre-Orders In Under An Hour For New Tesla Model 3 Rival: Report

Future Fund LLC's Managing Director, Gary Black, thinks Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45877591/elon-musk-says-he-regrets-war-of-words-with-trump-went-too-far">post expressing regret</a> over comments on U.S. President Donald Trump could help repair relations between the two.
What Happened: "TSLA now up +15% (vs NDX +2%) since last week's extraordinary falling out between Elon and President Trump," Black said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
Calling Musk's post expressing regret about his comments on the president an apology, the investor noted that it "should formally repair the relationship, although we doubt the two will again become billionaire bros again," he said.
Black then said that the apology should "encourage Trump to not work against Elon" on both the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) credits, as well as putting in place Federal regulations on autonomous vehicles.
He then shared his thoughts on the apology's impact on Musk's Cybercab ambitions.&nbsp;
"Elon likely realized that Tesla needs help with new EV and autonomous regulations, especially with being able to mass produce the Cybercab," the investor said and outlined how the Cybercab isn't street-legal in the U.S. due to the vehicle not having any pedals or a steering wheel.
He concluded the post by drawing parallels between the stock performances of Tesla and rivals like Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>). &#8220;Year-to-date TSLA (-19%) still badly lags BYDDY (+60%), UBER (+43%),&#8221; he said.

Interestingly, Future Fund <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45665076/gary-blacks-future-fund-sells-remaining-tesla-stock-reitrates-310-price-target-tslas-valuation-has-become-disconnected">offloaded its entire Tesla position</a> recently as the firm sold its remaining shares in the EV giant, which Black said was due to the valuation becoming "disconnected from underlying fundamentals."

Gary Black Says Musk's Apology Should 'Repair' Relations With Trump, Weighs In On Cybercab Production: 'Elon Likely Realized That Tesla Needs Help'

Several Chinese automakers, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rivals BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), have pledged to settle supplier dues within 60 days.
What Happened: Authorities in China brought in regulations in March, requiring companies to settle payments with suppliers within 60 days, which kicked into effect on June 1, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The report suggests that China's Iron and Steel Association released a statement outlining that the price war has put tremendous pressure on the sector as payments remain unsettled for months and manufacturers ask for price cuts up to 10%.
The association also called upon the manufacturers to take inspiration from Japanese auto manufacturers who "leave a certain amount of profit for suppliers and ensure product quality and innovation," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as several mainstream Chinese automakers compete in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42761825/ev-price-war-heats-up-as-chinese-automakers-extend-subsidies">EV price war</a>, which has engulfed the Chinese domestic car market for a while.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) newspaper, The People's Daily, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">voiced concerns</a> about the ongoing "rat race" among car makers in the country while pointing out that the aggressive pricing could hurt supply chains.
The comments from the CCP come in as a BYD dealer in China's Shandong province <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down 20 outlets</a>, citing changes to the automaker's dealership rules. The company has closed down dealerships across 4 cities.
Despite this, the EV price war shows no sign of relenting as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV Sedan</a>, available for $15,000. The sedan undercuts rival Tesla's cheapest offering in China, the Model 3, by almost half.

Tesla Rivals BYD, Xpeng Pledge Faster Supplier Payments Amid EV Price War In China: Report

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has launched a $15,000 EV as the electric vehicle price war heats up in the Chinese domestic market.
What Happened: Available in two trim levels, the Seal 06 EV offers a range of 292 miles with the 46 kWh battery pack, while the long-range variant is good for 339 miles on a single charge with a 56 kWh battery pack, the brand revealed on Saturday.
The base trim retails for 109,000 Yuan or just over $15,000 while the top-spec variant comes in at around 129,000 Yuan or almost $18,000.
Interestingly, the base Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model 3 costs almost double the price of the Seal 06 EV at 235,500 Yuan.
The vehicle comes equipped with BYD's God's Eye ADAS system. However, it utilizes a camera-based system rather than LiDAR, like some of the pricier models in the BYD lineup.
Why It Matters: BYD has been at the forefront of the Chinese EV price war, which has recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">come under scrutiny</a> from the authorities. Without naming any brands, recently, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) newspaper, The People&#8217;s Daily, slammed the &#8220;rat race&#8221; in the domestic EV sector.
The brand also introduced its best-selling Seagull hatchback EV in the European market, dubbed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, for $26,000 as the company overtook Tesla for the first time in regional sales.
BYD is also establishing its presence in Europe with local manufacturing capabilities as the Chinese EV giant's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">Hungarian plant </a>is under construction. The plant can produce over 200,000 EVs annually.
However, as BYD continues its growth, a major dealer for the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down over 20 dealerships</a> in China&#8217;s Shandong province, citing changes to the automaker&#8217;s dealer policy. The shutdowns have affected over 1,000 customers with warranty and after-sales service woes.

Tesla Rival BYD Launches $15,000 Seal 06 Sedan As China's EV Price War Heats Up

In what could prove to be a relief for Elon Musk's EV giant Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">global sales woes</a>, the Model Y has emerged as the best-selling SUV in China during May.
What Happened: Tesla sold over 24,770 Model Ys in May, according to new insurance registration data obtained by Car News China <a href="https://carnewschina.com/2025/06/09/tesla-model-y-reclaims-the-best-selling-suv-crown-in-china-for-may/">on</a> Monday.
The report also outlines that Tesla is closely followed by rival BYD Co. Ltd.'s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) Song Plus EV, which sold over 24,240 units in May.
Why It Matters: Tesla has experienced growth in the Chinese domestic market, which has been a silver lining for the company amid declining sales figures. Tesla sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/45834491/tesla-china-sales-surge-in-may-as-new-model-y-juniper-exported-for-the-first-time-amid-us-china-trade-war">grew over 34% in May</a> as the company exported the new Model Y for the first time.
This comes as the company recorded over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45787316/elon-musks-tesla-records-over-13000-new-registrations-in-china-highest-weekly-total-this-quarter">13,000 new registrations</a>, which was preceded by two consecutive weeks of recording over 11,000 new insured registrations in China during May.
However, the sales woes continue to grow in other regions as the company hit record lows in multiple regions in Europe, as Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">delivered 721 units in France</a> during May, a 67% YoY decline for the company.

Tesla's Model Y Tops China SUV Sales Chart In May With Over 24,700 Cars Sold

The manufacturing sector in China has slipped into contraction in May, marking its&nbsp;lowest level since September 2022, as the impact of tariffs continues to weigh heavily on the industry despite a temporary&nbsp;trade truce with the U.S.
What Happened: Data released on Tuesday by&nbsp;Caixin Media Co.&nbsp;and&nbsp;S&amp;P Global&nbsp;revealed that the&nbsp;Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers index&nbsp;dropped to 48.3 in May from&nbsp;50.4 in April. For the first time in eight&nbsp;months, the index has dipped below 50, the threshold that distinguishes expansion from contraction, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/chinas-manufacturing-activity-tumbles-into-contraction-as-orders-drop-cd120b36">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.
The drop was primarily due to a significant decrease in new orders, which fell at the fastest rate in over two and a half years, as reported by&nbsp;Caixin.&nbsp;New export orders fell for the second month in a row, hitting their lowest level since July 2023.
Despite a temporary truce in the U.S.-China trade conflict in mid-May, the tariff fallout appears to have continued to impact China&#8217;s factory activity. Zichun Huang, an economist at Capital Economics, stated, &#8220;The PMIs suggest that last month's U.S.-China trade truce was not enough to prevent a broader loss of economic momentum in May.&#8221;
Employment in manufacturing shrank more quickly in May, reflecting hiring caution, but business optimism rose as companies anticipated improvements in external markets.

Why It Matters: The ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which escalated in April with the imposition of hefty tariffs, have continued to impact China&#8217;s factory activity. Although the two countries&nbsp;reached a temporary truce in&nbsp;May and agreed&nbsp;to suspend most of the&nbsp;additional tariffs, the effects of the tariffs persist.
Amid these challenges, Chinese manufacturers are also facing domestic economic pressures, with major macroeconomic indicators showing a significant&nbsp;weakening at the start of&nbsp;the second quarter. This has led to a cautious approach by manufacturers, with employment shrinking&nbsp;at a faster pace than&nbsp;in April.
These developments align with previous warnings from analysts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45033064/16-million-chinese-jobs-under-threat-amid-escalating-us-china-trade-war-predicts-goldman-sachs">Goldman Sachs</a>, who cautioned that persistently high U.S.-China tariffs and a significant drop in Chinese exports could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the ISM Manufacturing PMI slipped to 48.5% in May from 48.7% in April, indicating the sharpest contraction since late 2024. One of the respondents stated, "&#8230;the impact of ever-changing trade policies of the current administration has wreaked havoc on suppliers&#8217; ability to react and remain profitable."
Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and BYD&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) fell 3.4% and 0.65%, each, over the past month. Meanwhile, Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALMMF#OTC">ALMMF</a>) surged 7.41% during the same period. 
In Tuesday&#8217;s premarket session, PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) traded higher, while JD.com Inc.

SAIC, Tesla And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced a decline in sales in China compared to rivals like Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) and BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), which posted strong growth in May.
What Happened: Li Auto experienced 17% growth in deliveries with 40,856 vehicles delivered in May, while Nio and Xpeng posted over 33,525 and 23,321 deliveries each, a report from Barron's <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/chinese-ev-makers-tesla-sales-4da484e4">on</a> Sunday revealed.
Meanwhile, Chinese giant BYD's BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales grew 40% year-on-year, as the company delivered 204,369 EVs in May.
However, Elon Musk's EV giant recorded around 58,000 April sales in China, including exports, and the company's sales performance in the first eight weeks of Q2 2025 declined 23% YoY, as per the report.
Why It Matters: The report comes in as Tesla has experienced a growth in May as the company posted more than 11,000 registrations in China for two consecutive weeks, despite a poor start to the month with a little over 3,000 new registrations.
Despite this, Tesla's poor run continues throughout multiple markets as the EV giant reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">49% drop in sales</a> in the European market during April, as BYD overtook the company for the first time.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45589714/teslas-2025-dark-chapter-over-analyst-says-ai-autonomous-to-lift-valuation-end-black-cloud-over-stock">analysts are optimistic</a> about the company owing to June 12's Robotaxi launch in Austin as well as developments in the company's FSD tech.&nbsp;
BYD, on the other hand, continues to expand its presence in the global market while it<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern"> faces scrutiny from Beijing</a> over the company's aggressive discount strategy that has started a price war in the Chinese domestic EV market.
Elsewhere, Li Auto recently beat analyst expectations following the company's Q1 earnings call, where CEO Li Xiang announced the company's plans to release <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/05/45691082/tesla-rival-li-auto-will-release-2-new-suvs-this-year-ceo-li-xiang-hints-at-companys-first-sedan">2 new fully-electric SUVs</a> this year.

Tesla's China Sales Slump While BYD And Li Auto Post Strong Gains: Report

Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) is reportedly facing backlash for its aggressive discounts that have triggered a price war in the fiercely contested EV market in China.
What Happened: BYD's stock fell over 5% on the Hong Kong exchange following last week's 15% plunge, due to reports that the price war had caught Beijing's attention, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-01/byd-may-sales-highest-this-year-after-week-of-steep-discounts">on</a> Sunday.
The Chinese Communist Party&#8217;s (CCP) newspaper, The People's Daily, slammed the "rat race" in the domestic EV sector, which it said could hurt domestic supply chains and damage the "Made in China" reputation. However, it did not name any specific companies, the report said.
The report also mentioned that China's automobile association criticized the price war, which could impact the sector's growth and bring about quality issues, while China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology agreed with the stance.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as China's EV price war has led to an intense competition in the country among EV manufacturers offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42761825/ev-price-war-heats-up-as-chinese-automakers-extend-subsidies">aggressive discounts</a> to drive up sales.
Interestingly, BYD and other Chinese players are bolstering their presence in markets outside of China, with BYD already surpassing Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">in European sales </a>as the company is offering the Euro-spec version of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">best-selling EV hatchback</a> in the region for $26,000.
On the flip side, a major BYD dealer in China has reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45666513/a-major-byd-dealer-in-china-shut-down-its-operations-as-ev-giant-expands-into-europe-report">closed down over 20 dealerships </a>in the country across 4 major cities, citing what the dealer said were policy changes by the automaker that impacted the company's cash flow.
Elsewhere, experts like Future Fund LLC's Gary Black indicate that BYD's price war <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45611551/gary-black-says-price-war-by-byd-threatens-tesla-dismisses-elon-musks-comeback-as-non-event">could threaten Tesla's position</a> in the country.

Consumer Tech News (May 26-May 30): Germany May Impose 10% Online Platform Tax, Tesla's European Sales Slump & More

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) experienced an 87% decline in sales in the Canadian province of Quebec as Elon Musk's company continues to battle sales woes.
What Happened: Tesla delivered 524 vehicles in Quebec in Q1 2025, an 87% year-on-year decline compared to last year, according <a href="https://www.ledevoir.com/economie/882790/quebec-tourne-massivement-dos-tesla?">to</a> data obtained by Le Devoir.
The report suggests that the decline in sales is a result of Musk's close involvement with U.S. President Donald Trump, but also because Quebec as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44488018/canada-bars-tesla-from-ev-rebates-programs-in-response-to-illegitimate-and-illegal-us-tariffs">Canadian governments ended key incentives</a> for the company&#8217;s EVs in the province.
The report also mentions that new registrations for Tesla vehicles in Quebec fell to a two-year low, signaling increased avoidance among potential EV buyers for Musk's company.
Why It Matters: Tesla has been grappling with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the world. Recently, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">company's sales fell 49% </a>in Europe in April 2025 as BEVs recorded a surge in market share in the region.

Tesla Deliveries Drop 87% In Quebec in Q1, Hitting 2-Year Low Amid Incentive Cuts, Musk's Political Ties

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) shares are trading slightly lower in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">premarket session on Wednesday</a>.
The Chinese EV firm is reportedly making strides in its national battery swap network with the completion of initial coverage across all districts in Tianjin, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/05/28/nio-swap-stations-coverage-all-districts-tianjin/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> CnEV Post.
The report adds that the company&#8217;s energy division, NIO Power, now operates 56 battery swap stations across Tianjin&#8217;s 16 districts, marking another step in its broader &#8220;Power Up Counties&#8221; expansion campaign.
NIO&#8217;s commitment to enhancing electric vehicle infrastructure also extends into northeastern China through a newly formed partnership with ZDK Group, a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45523879/whats-going-on-with-nio-stock-on-tuesday-3" rel="noreferrer noopener">state-owned firm based in Shenyang</a>.

The alliance will oversee the construction of 100 new battery swap sites across Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia to support growing EV adoption.
The &#8220;Power Up Counties&#8221; initiative aims to build a dense, accessible network of battery swap stations across county-level regions nationwide. So far, NIO has completed deployment in regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong.
In Tianjin alone, nearly 1 million battery swaps have been conducted, highlighting significant traction for this model of EV servicing, CnEV Post adds.
Unlike many provinces, Tianjin operates without county-level divisions, focusing efforts instead on urban districts.
This progress comes at a time of intensified competition in China&#8217;s EV sector.
Over the weekend, a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/26/chinas-byd-sees-shares-plunge-8percent-as-ev-maker-cuts-prices.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a> report stated that rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) triggered market turbulence by slashing prices on its flagship electric models.
The move, aimed at driving sales and protecting market share, sent shares of NIO, XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) tumbling as investors recalibrated expectations in light of a renewed pricing war.
As the Chinese EV market continues to evolve, investors might consider related exposure through ETFs like the Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>).
Price Action: NIO shares are trading lower by 0.41% to $3.675 premarket at last check Wednesday.

What's Going On With NIO Stock On Wednesday?

Regulators from China's commerce ministry are set to meet with executives from several Chinese automakers, including EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), to discuss the surge in zero-mile used car sales.
What Happened: The meeting is set to take place on Tuesday afternoon, according to an anonymous source cited in a report by Reuters published on Tuesday.
A zero-mile used car is a car that has been registered with the authorities and has number plates, which make it a ‘sold' car. However, the car has never been driven. The report suggests over 4000 vendors sell these cars domestically in China.
The meeting also includes China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), as well as executives from Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNFGY#OTC">DNFGY</a>), the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as used EVs are steadily picking up the pace. Recently, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) announced it will begin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45487522/tesla-is-accepting-trade-ins-for-2024-cybertruck-amid-plummeting-sales-figures-report">accepting trade-ins </a>for the Cybertruck, a year after the company released the product into the market.
Elsewhere, BYD has been ramping up its European goals, as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">company recently unveiled </a>its Dolphin Surf hatchback EV in the region. The Dolphin Surf is the Euro-spec version of BYD's best-selling Seagull EV.
BYD also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">surpassed Tesla sales</a> for the first time recently as BYD registered 7,231 battery-electric vehicles in Europe in April, which was higher than Tesla&#8217;s 7,165 units during the same period, according to expert data.

Chinese Regulators Will Meet Tesla Rival BYD, Other Companies To Discuss 'Zero Mile' Used Cars: Report

Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) might be in for a rough week, according to the Managing Partner of The Future Fund, Gary Black, following the announcement of steep discounts by the company&#8217;s Chinese rival.
What Happened: Black took to X on Monday, addressing concerns regarding the latest price war in the highly competitive EV market and its impact on Tesla. He was referring to Chinese automaker BYD Auto Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and its recently announced discounts ranging from 6% and 20% across its EV franchises.
He notes that shares of BYD are down 7.7% in the Hong Kong stock exchange, which he attributes to the price cuts that are set to last until June 30. He also says that these cuts &#8220;will likely be matched by Chinese EV competitors,&#8221; hinting at a race to the bottom.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45610924/jensen-huang-says-biden-era-export-control-was-a-failure-if-they-dont-have-enough-nvidia-they-will-use-their-own">Jensen Huang Says Biden-Era &#8216;Export Control&#8217; Was A Failure: &#8216;If They Don&#8217;t Have Enough Nvidia, They Will Use Their Own&#8217;</a>
&#8220;This could weigh down $TSLA when it resumes trading Tuesday,&#8221; he says, despite the positive macroeconomic news, such as Trump&#8217;s decision to extend the tariff deadline for the EU, which Black believes holds limited upside for Tesla. 
On CEO Elon Musk's recent pledge to re-focus on Tesla, Black states bluntly that he views the announcement as a &#8220;non-event,&#8221; adding that it would do little to &#8220;change TSLA's declining delivery trajectory,&#8221; which consensus estimates peg at 1.7 million for the full-year, down 5% on a year-over-year basis.
Black also expressed skepticism over Tesla's upcoming low-cost EV, expected in the third quarter. He&#8217;s concerned that it may end up being &#8220;a scaled-down Model 3 or Model Y,&#8221; rather than an entirely new design. 
If that's the case, he argues, the vehicle likely won't expand Tesla's total addressable market or attract new buyers outside its existing base.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s return to the company as its full-time CEO, following a brief stint in the government has led to a 49% rally in the stock since it was first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">announced last month</a>.
Wedbush Securities Analyst Dan Ives said last week that the company could be headed towards its &#8220;golden period&#8221; following Musk recommitting to the brand, predicting a <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45596536/tesla-bull-dan-ives-thinks-elon-musks-ev-giant-could-be-entering-a-golden-era-says-2-trillion-market">$2 trillion market cap</a> for the stock, citing its robotics and robotaxi plays.
Black, however, remains skeptical of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488706/gary-black-thinks-expectations-for-teslas-robotaxi-launch-are-too-high-currently-teslas-autonomy-cant">company&#8217;s robotaxi promises</a>, having said last week that &#8220;Tesla&#8217;s autonomy can&#8217;t be operated hands off/eyes off in most areas of the country,&#8221; calling the company&#8217;s claims into question, along with those of other Tesla bulls.
Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth Management, who was a long-time Tesla bull himself, echoed similar concerns last week, citing his own experience using the Cybertruck&#8217;s FSD (Full Self-Driving) 13.2.9, which he found to be lackluster.
&#8220;This could be an extremely difficult time for them if they don't pull off or at least convince people that they have a real robotaxi business on the way,&#8221; Gerber said, adding that he believes the stock has been &#8220;overvalued for a while.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Amazon.com, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Amazon.com, the 200-day moving average sits at $200.0, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $203.5. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: AMZN stock is down 1.23% at $203.60 at last check Tuesday.
