July NEV sales up 18 percent
China based coverage of July sales data cited by WebProNews on 12 August 2026 reports that BYD sold around 312,000 vehicles in July, representing year on year growth of about 18 percent compared with the same month a year earlier.
In the wider Chinese new energy vehicle market, sales in July 2026 reached 1,561,000 units, up 23.7% year on year, according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers summarized by CNEVPost.
Those figures indicate that BYD's roughly 18 percent growth in July trailed the sector wide 23.7% increase but still consolidated its position as a top domestic player in electric and plug in hybrid vehicles.

The same source indicates trailing twelve month revenue of HKD 783.83 billion and net income attributable to common shareholders of HKD 27.26 billion as of recent filings, implying a profit margin of 3.52% on that trailing basis.
For investors comparing growth with valuation, the statistics page on Yahoo Finance shows a price to sales ratio of 0.93 and an enterprise value to revenue multiple of 1.01 as of 11 August 2026, metrics that place BYD below many global premium auto peers in terms of revenue based valuation multiples.
