BYD Company Limited (1211.HK) stock: Winston Score, insiders and Congress trades

BYD is a Chinese company that makes electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids, and rechargeable batteries. It sells cars, buses, and trucks to everyday consumers and commercial fleets, mainly in China but increasingly around the world. BYD is one of the largest EV makers globally, competing directly with Tesla for the top spot in unit sales. The company earns revenue by selling vehicles, batteries, and electronic components. It manufactures most of its key parts in-house, including batteries and semiconductors, which gives it strong cost control compared to rivals. BYD operates factories in China, Southeast Asia, and is expanding into Europe and Latin America, making it one of the biggest automakers by market capitalization. Its main growth driver is international expansion into new markets, though rising trade barriers and tariffs in Europe and North America pose a meaningful risk to that strategy.
