BYD sales surge amidst growing EV competition

Published

on

BYD, the Warren Buffett-backed carmaker, has reported a significant jump in sales, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Western electric vehicle makers.

In the first quarter of this year, BYD sold 626,263 new-energy vehicles, comprising both EVs and plug-ins, marking a 13% increase from the previous year.

This surge in sales was particularly pronounced in March, with a remarkable 46% increase following a slight dip in the preceding two months.

At the end of 2023, BYD surpassed Tesla as the world’s largest seller of electric vehicles on a quarterly basis, underscoring its growing influence in the EV market.

Investors are closely monitoring BYD’s performance, especially in comparison to Tesla, which has long dominated the EV space but has experienced a slowdown in sales growth over the past year.

Global sales

In the first quarter of 2024, BYD sold approximately 300,114 pure EVs globally, representing a 13% increase compared to the same period last year.

Additionally, sales of plug-in hybrids, which accounted for 52% of BYD’s total first-quarter sales, rose by 14% to around 324,000 vehicles.

Analysts anticipate Tesla to deliver approximately 457,000 vehicles globally for the January-to-March period, although some predict weaker results, potentially marking the first year-over-year decline in sales since the pandemic lockdowns of 2020.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has cautioned about slower growth in 2024 as the company focuses on ramping up production of its recently launched Cybertruck.

While Tesla plans to introduce a more affordable EV in late 2025, its current model lineup faces increasing competition from both established automakers and emerging startups in the EV market.

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.


The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.


Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
