BYD Company Limited, a leading Chinese electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturer, has projected a substantial increase in its first-quarter net profit for 2025. The company anticipates a rise of between 86% and 119% year-on-year, estimating net income to be between CNY 8.5 billion and CNY 10 billion (approximately USD 1.2 billion to USD 1.4 billion). This optimistic forecast comes in light of BYD's increased vehicle sales and exports, which generally yield higher profit margins. The early earnings guidance is seen as a strategic move to bolster investor confidence following recent market volatility attributed to tariff concerns raised by U.S. policies. BYD's stock rose by 7.2% during the trading session following the announcement.
