BYD is trading at $82.91 (+4.1%) in pre-market following a strong overnight move and positive commentary from Morgan Stanley.

  • Morgan Stanley analysts expect a sales resurgence across Chinese automakers, driven by improving fund flows and a robust lineup of new vehicle launches.
  • The note highlighted BYD-specific overseas developments and potential short covering after investors previously used the stock as a pairing trade.
  • Sentiment is further bolstered by broader strength in Hong Kong technology stocks and a firmer overall market tone.
