While TSLA US Is Falling, BYD (1211HK) Is Rising (Maybe a Bit Too Fast!)

By Nico Rosti

  • BYD (1211 HK) has experienced a significant surge in recent days, primarily due to investor anticipation surrounding the company’s imminent announcement of its autonomous-driving strategy.
  • On Monday, at its Shenzhen headquarters, BYD is expected to unveil plans to integrate self-driving technology into its more affordable vehicle models, aiming to make autonomous-driving features a reality.
  • However, our models indicate a severe OVERBOUGHT WEEKLY state, and that means that the stock has already priced in any possible good news that could come on Monday.
