Summary
BYD (BYDDY) is positioned as the long-term winner in the global EV market, outpacing Tesla and XPeng in scale, technology, and profitability.
BYDDY leads with mass-market self-driving, ultra-fast charging, aggressive pricing, and local production, driving share gains in China, Europe, and emerging markets.
Valuation for BYDDY is compelling: forward P/E 17.38, PEG 3.18, Price/Cash Flow under 7, and the highest EBITDA margin among peers.
Tesla’s technology and market share moats are eroding, while XPeng offers higher risk/reward but lacks BYDDY’s scale and efficiency.
