BYD (OTC:BYDDF) Stock, Rapport sur les intérêts à découvert

Founded in 1995, BYD is a leading Chinese manufacturer in the design, development, and production of new energy vehicles, or NEVs. In March 2022, the firm discontinued production of internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles. Its products primarily target the growing midpriced mass-market segment in China's passenger vehicle market. The company sold about 4.3 million passenger NEVs in 2024, accounting for 35% of the Chinese passenger NEV market. Besides automobile production, the company is also engaged in handset components and assembly services, as well as the rechargeable battery and photovoltaics business. After more than 25 years of development, the company has established over 30 industrial parks worldwide.

BYD Co Ltd

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier Foxconn is set to enter the Japanese market with the company's bespoke EV buses, thanks to subsidies offered by the Taiwanese government.
What Happened: Purchasing and operating EVs certified by the government is eligible for receiving over $181,000 in subsidies, almost half the value of an EV bus, Nikkei Asia reported <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Electric-vehicles/Foxconn-EV-buses-set-to-enter-Japan-on-back-of-Taiwan-subsidies">on</a> Tuesday.
Foxconn's Model T bus is one of 6 eligible EV buses to receive the subsidies. The Model T offers a range of over 249 miles (400 kilometers) on a single charge, the report suggests.
The company plans to launch the Model T as well as the Model U microbus in Japan by 2027, supplying parts to Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Foxconn had earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45667851/apple-supplier-foxconn-set-to-announce-second-japanese-auto-partner-as-it-turns-to-evs">signed an MoU</a> or Memorandum of Understanding with Japan's Mitsubishi Motors to jointly develop an EV.

Apple Supplier Foxconn To Enter Japanese Market With EV Buses Backed By Taiwan Subsidies

A leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">global miner</a>, BHP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FinDreams Battery Co., a subsidiary of the Chinese EV and battery manufacturer BYD Group (OTCPK: BYDDF).
The partnership, <a href="https://www.bhp.com/news/media-centre/releases/2025/07/bhp-explores-opportunities-with-byd-in-battery-electrification">announced today</a>, will help the electrification of BHP's operations. The two parties will work on innovative battery-powered solutions for heavy mining machinery, light vehicle fleets, and the essential charging infrastructure, all aimed at helping BHP achieve its goal of lowering carbon emissions.
"This relationship is a further step towards BHP meeting our decarbonisation ambitions for our operations and helping to drive transformative change within the global resources industry," said Rashpal Bhatti, BHP's Group Procurement Officer. "BYD is at the cutting edge of battery innovation, and by working together, we can help shape a more productive and sustainable future for mining."
The partnership will help BHP achieve its long-term net-zero operational emission target by 2050, as well as its medium-term goal of reducing emissions by at least 30% (compared to 2020) by 2030. Electrification is a lucrative proposal for miners since fossil fuel price volatility can notably influence their cost of operations. However, this shift brings along challenges in energy and infrastructure.
McKinsey's <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/metals-and-mining/our-insights/electrifying-mines-could-double-their-electricity-demand">research</a> estimates that electrifying the mobile fleet in the global iron ore sector alone could lead to a surge in electricity demand by 20 to 30 terawatt-hours, more than doubling consumption at many sites, driving significant capital investments.&nbsp; Per their estimates, the power infrastructure for just the iron ore mining industry could cost anywhere from $30 to $45 billion. Mines would have to upgrade grid connections, install substations, and expand renewable energy generation.
Yet, not everything falls within the mining industry's control. The technological development of batteries will play an important role in this endeavor. To support intensive use in mining operations, batteries need to be of larger scale, with higher density and faster charge rate – else the industry risks compromising productivity.
BHP's rival Fortescue Metals provided some orientation with their large-scale <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/41021967/fortescue-announces-2-8b-electrification-deal-chairman-claims-future-is-zero-emissions">electrification effort</a> in 2024. A $2.8 billion order was for 475 zero-emission machines, including 360 battery-electric haul trucks. Despite its ambitions to reach net-zero by 2030, Fortescue had to cut 700 jobs and pause some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39836855/fortescue-delays-green-hydrogen-ambitions-reaffirms-commitment-to-future-projects">green hydrogen investments</a> amid high energy costs and falling iron ore prices.
Yet at 4 times the market cap, BHP is a much larger player, with the capacity to absorb such capex. Still, producing cleaner commodities will require not only strategic partnerships but also regulatory clarity and technological breakthroughs.

BHP Partners With BYD's FinDreams For Mine Electrification

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Donald Trump</a>'s latest salvo on trade policy has rattled markets, and auto giants like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and big tech like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) may bear the brunt. Trump has floated the idea of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46382047/trump-targets-mexico-eu-with-30-tariffs">imposing 30% tariffs</a> on imports from the European Union and Mexico, two regions that play a crucial role in both companies&#8217; global supply chains and revenue streams.
For investors, the risk isn't just theoretical &#8211; it could mean real pressure on margins, pricing and stock performance.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple's Mexican Lifeline Could Snap</h2>
Apple relies increasingly on Mexico for final assembly and component manufacturing, including parts for iPhones, MacBooks, and AirPods. While most of its core manufacturing is based in China, Apple has been actively diversifying its supply chain to mitigate geopolitical risk.
Ironically, these new tariffs could penalize the very diversification strategy that they aim to support. Higher import costs from Mexico could squeeze Apple's margins or force it to pass the costs on to consumers, which is never a good look in a competitive smartphone market.
The EU also represents a significant revenue pool for Apple, with Europe accounting for roughly 24% of total sales in recent quarters. Any retaliation from the bloc could complicate pricing, tax treatment, or even product approvals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's EU Exposure Makes It Especially Vulnerable</h2>
Tesla may be even more exposed. The company operates a gigafactory in Germany, and the EU is one of Tesla&#8217;s fastest-growing markets outside the U.S. If Trump's tariff policy triggers a trade war or reciprocal measures, Tesla could face hurdles both in exporting parts and in selling vehicles across borders. It's a tough blow just as the EV maker is trying to defend market share against BYD Co (OTCPK: BYDDF) (OTCPK: BYDDY) and legacy automakers.
Investors should pay close attention: while tariffs may not be imminent, the political narrative could impact capital flows and sentiment around multinationals with cross-border footprints.

Tesla And Apple Face Brand-New Wrecking Ball—Thanks To Trump

Chinese officials have reportedly cooled on&nbsp;Elon Musk, the CEO of&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), as a potential geopolitical asset due to his public fallout with President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
What Happened: In January, Chinese Vice President&nbsp;Han Zheng&nbsp;met with Musk in Washington, expressing Beijing&#8217;s hope that Musk would play a constructive role in U.S.-China relations,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-china-elon-musk-0f38940e?st=3kgiF7&amp;reflink=article_copyURL_share">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal. However, Musk&#8217;s response was reportedly lukewarm and due to his now strained relationship with Trump, Beijing no longer sees Musk as a valuable &#8220;geopolitical asset&#8221; and is unlikely to publicly engage with him.
One of the sources, who consults with Chinese officials, stated, &#8220;Tesla remains important for China&#8230;but&nbsp;for authorities, helping domestic companies&nbsp;still matters more.&#8221; This is a significant setback for Musk, who has been focusing on Tesla&#8217;s operations in China, its second-largest market by revenue.
Nevertheless, China remains important for Tesla, especially as its sales in the U.S. and Europe have declined, partly due to Musk&#8217;s past ties with Trump. China also serves as a crucial testing hub for technologies such as Full Self-Driving (FSD) and autonomous taxis, which are among Musk&#8217;s top priorities.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s relationship with China is crucial for Tesla&#8217;s future. Despite the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value, Tesla&#8217;s sales in China have seen a rise. In June, Tesla saw a&nbsp;3.7% year-over-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">increase in sales&nbsp;</a>in the Chinese domestic market, amid declining sales in other markets. 
However, Tesla continues to face stiff competition from local rivals like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46215206/tesla-rival-byd-reports-2025s-best-selling-month-in-june-amid-exports-surge">BYD</a> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), which reported its best sales performance of 2025 in June.
Despite this, Musk has found an unlikely source of support in Chinese netizens. Amid his feud with Trump, Chinese social media users have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46252278/after-trump-warns-elon-musk-to-close-up-shop-china-rallies-behind-worlds-richest-man-theres-no-need">rallying behind Musk</a>, hailing his stance against Trump. However, the recent cooling of Musk&#8217;s geopolitical value in China could pose a significant challenge for Tesla&#8217;s future in the country.

Beijing Rejects Elon Musk As A 'Geopolitical Asset': Lukewarm Response To Chinese Diplomatic Overreach, Trump Feud Reportedly Diminishes Musk's Value

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the UK surged over 12% year-on-year in June as Elon Musk's EV giant's Q2 delivery figures fared better than initially predicted by experts.
What Happened: Tesla sold 7,891 units in the UK during June, compared to June 2024&#8217;s 7,019 units, data from NewAutomotive obtained by Reuters showcased on Friday.
The data also suggests that UK EV sales grew by 45.5%, with a 12.8% growth in total car sales in the region. The market as a whole registered 187,655 units in June. 
Tesla's Chinese rival, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>), also gained in sales, selling 2,498 units in June. Tesla's total sales in the UK are still down 2%, the data shows.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla delivered over 384,000 vehicles in Q2, which analysts like Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives hailed as a moment where the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239998/dan-ives-hails-teslas-better-than-expected-q2-deliveries-says-fireworks-come-early-for-elon-musk-led-ev-giant">&#8220;fireworks&#8221; came early</a> for the company.
Gary Black, managing director of Future Fund LLC, pinned the deliveries on Tesla experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">strong growth in China</a> during June. "2Q was better than expected, led by refreshed Model Y deliveries and strong quarter-end China deliveries," the investor said as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46238590/tsla-stock-surges-5-as-q2-deliveries-better-than-feared-gary-black-explains-why-elon-musk-led-tesla-fared-better-than-markets-worst-fears">company stock surged 5%</a>.

Elon Musk-Led Tesla Sales Surge 12% In The UK During June: Q2 Deliveries Beat Analyst Estimates

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) is exploring options to sell its vehicles overseas.
What Happened: Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shared the company's plans during a livestream, Reuters reported on Thursday.
Xiaomi is currently focused on domestic deliveries of the SU7 sedan and the YU7 SUV, both of which are all-electric models, according to the CEO.
The report suggests that the Chinese tech giant had earlier shared plans for delivering the first shipments of its vehicles in 2027.
It's unclear whether the company plans to expand into markets within Asia or follow the footsteps of other Chinese companies like BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) to expand into Europe.
Why It Matters: Xiaomi's YU7 SUV exceeded expectations as the EV received almost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">300k orders in under an hour</a>. The SUV is pitted against the Tesla Model Y in the Chinese domestic market.
Xiaomi is another automaker currently battling in the fiercely competitive Chinese market, currently embroiled in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>, which has raised concerns among authorities within the CCP.
On the other hand, Tesla has experienced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">rebound in sales</a> in the Chinese market as the company delivered over 61,000 vehicles during the month of June, sales data suggests.

Tesla Rival Xiaomi Wants To Sell Cars Internationally Starting 2027, CEO Lei Jun Says

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has recorded a sale of over 377,628 units in June, which is the Chinese EV giant's best sales performance of 2025 so far.
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival reported an 11% YoY growth in sales during May, according to sales data released on Tuesday.
BYD sold over 206,884 EVs, which accounted for 54.8% of the sales, while 170,744 units were Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. BYD's EV sales grew 42.5%, according to the data.
Interestingly, the brand exported over 90,049 units outside of China, an almost 234% increase from June 2024, when BYD exported over 30,014 units.
Why It Matters: The data comes as BYD has been bolstering its presence both in China as well as in overseas markets. The company recently released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46187880/tesla-rival-byd-launches-11000-long-range-trim-of-its-best-selling-seagull-ev-as-price-war-heats-up">longer-range variant</a> of its best-selling Seagull EV priced at around $11,000.
The release could help the company cement its already strong position in the Chinese domestic car market. BYD has also denied reports in the media that suggested the company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46111314/byd-denies-production-cutbacks-amid-ev-price-war-says-output-remains-stable-report">scaling back on production</a> amid China's fiercely competitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>.
Overseas, BYD has been targeting the European market, where it released the Euro-spec version of the Seagull, called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, for $26,000, as well as setting up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">production facility in Hungary</a> capable of producing 200,000 units annually.
BYD also overtook Tesla in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">global sales</a> recently for the first time ever, according to a report released by the International Council on Clean Transportation or ICCT, citing sales data.

Tesla Rival BYD Reports 2025's Best-Selling Month In June Amid Exports Surge

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has unveiled a new, longer-range trim of the company's best-selling car, the Seagull EV, in China amid the EV price war.
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival unveiled the long-range trim, priced at $11,000 on Monday. The hatchback offers 252 miles of CLTC range on a single charge, with a 38.9 kWh battery pack.
BYD offers the Seagull in 4 trim levels, with the base Vitality trim offered for $7,800 and the range-topping Flying trim available for $11,800. Seagull is also equipped with BYD's God's Eye advanced driver assistance system.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as BYD has been offering aggressive discounts in the highly competitive Chinese auto industry, which is currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">grappling with a price war</a>.
BYD also recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 sedan</a>, priced at $15,000, positioned squarely against the Tesla Model 3, which it undercuts by almost half as the Model 3 retails for around $30,000 in China.
The company has also been expanding its presence in other markets. BYD recently launched the Seagull EV's Euro-spec version, dubbed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a>, which is priced at around $26,000 in the region.
Despite the European expansion, the company has had to deal with some issues, with reports suggesting that the company planned to scale down production, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46111314/byd-denies-production-cutbacks-amid-ev-price-war-says-output-remains-stable-report">which BYD denied</a>.
Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) also unveiled the company's very first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">all-electric SUV</a>, the YU7, which goes up against the Tesla Model Y in China.

Tesla Rival BYD Launches $11,000 Long-Range Trim Of Its Best-Selling Seagull EV As Price War Heats Up

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) CEO Jim Farley has hailed Chinese EVs as competition from Chinese automakers gets stiffer throughout the globe.
What Happened: "It&#8217;s the most humbling thing I have ever seen. Seventy percent of all EVs in the world, electric vehicles, are made in China," Farley said at an event, Yahoo Finance reported <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fords-ceo-says-chinas-ev-054800452.html">on</a> Monday.
The CEO praised the vehicles for the advanced technology, hailing Xiaomi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) and Huawei's presence in "every car" in China. "You get in, you don&#8217;t have to pair your phone. Automatically, your whole digital life is mirrored in the car," Farley said.
He also said that part of the reason why Ford couldn't offer such technology in its vehicles is because Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google "decided not to go in the car business."
"Beyond that, their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West. We are in a global competition with China, and it&#8217;s not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future Ford,&#8221; Farley added.
Why It Matters: Farley's comments come in as Ford plans on releasing products on its new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020713/ford-says-upcoming-budget-ev-platform-will-rival-chinese-ev-prices-report">affordable EV platform</a> in 2027. The company says its platform could rival Chinese competitors and match them in cost.&nbsp;
Ford is also going ahead with the plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46074112/ford-to-proceed-with-3-billion-battery-plant-despite-potential-tax-incentive-loss-under-trumps-budget-plan-we-stick-behind-our-investments">set up a battery plant</a>, investing over $3 billion in the plant, which will be in Michigan.&nbsp;
However, Chinese automakers are also pushing more competitively priced and feature-rich EVs. Recently, Xiaomi unveiled the company's first-ever all-electric SUV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/46132552/telsla-model-y-rival-xiaomi-yu7-suv-receives-nearly-300000-orders-in-1-hour-in-china">dubbed the YU7</a>, which closely rivals the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model Y.
BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) also unveiled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 Sedan</a>, priced at over $15,000 in China, increasing the competition in China's domestic car industry amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">EV price war</a>.

Trump's Tariffs, Boeing's Blowout, Tesla's Robotaxi, BYD's European Triumph And GM's Massive Recall: This Week In Mobility

Time Magazine&#8217;s annual 100 Most Influential Companies list for 2025 includes many companies investors are familiar with, with numerous names originating from the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence sector.</a>
The <a href="https://time.com/7297630/time-reveals-the-2025-time100-most-influential-companies-in-the-world/">list</a> seeks to honor the top businesses that are helping "chart an essential path forward."
"No single data point or financial metric makes a TIME100 Company. Instead, we looked at a mosaic of qualities, studying impact, innovation, ambition, and success, each in the forms that take shape today. And as we say for all TIME100 projects: influence comes in many forms, for better and for worse," Time editors said of the list.

Why It's Important: Nearly half of this year's list includes companies that are publicly traded or part of publicly traded companies. This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world.
Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX.
When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.

44 Public Companies Make Time's Most Influential List: Coinbase, UFC, Nintendo, Netflix And More Stocks Investors Can Buy

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has hailed the Cybertruck's build quality as the EV giant grapples with declining sales figures in multiple markets across the globe, which experts believe could have led to Musk&#8217;s longtime aide Omead Afshar&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">exit from the company</a>.
What Happened: Quoting a video by the Tesla Cybertruck's official handle on X on Thursday, the billionaire hailed the EV pickup truck's build.
"Built bullet tough," the billionaire said in the post. The video showcased an unscathed Cybertruck getting hit with things like a shopping cart, a baseball, as well as a sledgehammer.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>

Elon Musk Reacts To Video Of Cybertruck Withstanding Sledgehammer Blow: 'Built Bullet Tough'

Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) unveiled the company's first all-electric SUV, the YU7, as a rival to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model Y.
What Happened: Xiaomi took to the Chinese social media platform Weibo to announce that it had received over 289,000 orders for its YU7 SUV on Thursday, after the company said it received over 200,000 orders in just 3 minutes.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="946" height="812" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27005046/XIAOMI-289000.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-964274" style="width:446px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27005046/XIAOMI-289000.jpg 946w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27005046/XIAOMI-289000-300x258.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27005046/XIAOMI-289000-768x659.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px" /></figure>

The YU7 is available in three variants: Standard, Pro and Max. The SUV retails for around 253,500 RMB or approximately $35,000 for the standard variant. The range-topping Max variant comes in at around 329,900 RMB or over $46,000.

The base standard variant undercuts the Tesla Model Y, which was the best-selling SUV in China, by 10,000 RMB or $1,400. It offers a claimed range of 515 miles on a single charge. The Max variant offers AWD and a claimed range of 472 miles with NMC batteries.

Tesla Model Y-rival Xiaomi YU7 SUV Receives Nearly 300,000 Orders In 1 Hour In China

XPEV

Reuters Reports Xiaomi Gets Over 200,000 Pre-Orders Of YU7 SUV In 3-Minutes

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has said that the Chinese EV giant's production has remained stable, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/25/06/46090074/byd-scales-back-production-amid-profit-concerns-rising-inventory-in-china">despite earlier reports</a> that it had scaled back on manufacturing activities amid China's fierce EV price war.
What Happened: Sources close to the company have reiterated that the production levels on the factory lines remain stable, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/26/exclusive-byd-production-capacity-remains-stable/">on</a> Thursday.
Earlier, reports in the media suggested that the company had scaled back on production by reducing shifts at Chinese factories and delaying adding new production lines.
Inventory levels at various BYD dealers also remain stable and the company's market share in the Chinese auto market continues to rise, the report suggested, citing the earlier source.
Why It Matters: The report comes in as BYD recently overtook Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">global EV sales</a>, according to data released by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT).
BYD has also set its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946809/byd-rejigs-european-strategy-amid-lack-of-market-knowledge-and-modest-dealer-network-report">eyes on Europe</a> as the brand has released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sal">Dolphin Surf EV</a> in the region for $26,000. The Dolphin Surf is the Euro-spec version of its best-selling Seagull EV in China.
However, back in China, authorities <a href="http://v">have raised concerns</a> about the aggressive pricing strategies adopted by brands in a bid to boost sales. Despite this, BYD released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> in China for $15,000, almost half the price of a Tesla Model 3.

BYD Denies Production Cutbacks Amid EV Price War, Says Output Remains Stable: Report

Electric vehicle company BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45564693/byd-outsells-elon-musks-tesla-amid-european-plans-shift-into-gear">has surpassed </a>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in Europe and the trend may continue with multiple new vehicle launches.
What Happened: In recent months, BYD has overtaken Tesla in unit sales in Europe, a move that could be two-fold, from new vehicle launches by BYD and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46087914/teslas-europe-sales-slide-for-5th-straight-month-elon-musk-led-ev-giants-market-share-shrinks-to-1-3">declining demand for Tesla.</a>
In terms of new vehicle launches, BYD may only be getting started, according to a report from <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/06/24/byd-flooding-europe-with-new-evs-faster-than-any-carmaker/">Electrek</a>.
BYD plans to release new vehicles faster than any other automotive company in Europe. This includes launching the Dolphin Surf EV that starts at less than $25,000 in the region, becoming one of the most affordable electric vehicles in the area.
BYD Special Advisor for Europe Alfredo Altavilla highlighted the Dolphin Surf being one of the company's missing pieces as it looks to compete with the cheapest EVs in the region.
"We have been launching six cars in less than a year," Altavilla said. "We are covering all of the most important segments of the European car market."
Not all of BYD's new vehicles are low-cost models, with some of the company's new launches are under the Denza Yangwang brand, which is BYD's luxury unit.
"I have zero problem in saying I don't think there has ever been such a product offensive done in Europe as the one BYD is doing," Altavilla added.
Altavilla said the team is getting together after the summer break and will have more reveals before the end of the year.

Why It's Important: BYD is outselling Tesla in Europe and in 2024 beat Tesla in global EV sales for the first time. As new models are released, that momentum could continue.
BYD will begin production on a new manufacturing plant in Hungary by the end of 2025, which will boost production in the region and allow for more customization.
"As we go forward into 2026, more and more of the BYD line-up will be specific to this region," Altavilla said.
BYD could more than double its sales in Europe this year to around 186,000, according to S&amp;P Global Mobility. In four more years, the sales could double again to 400,000 in Europe.
BYD Price Action: BYD stock (BYDDY) closed Wednesday down 2.28% at $98.56 versus a 52-week trading range of $52.50 to $120.30. BYD stock is up 48% year-to-date in 2025.

BYD Beats Tesla In Europe: Never Been 'Such A Product Offensive Done'

BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC BYDDF), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) leader, has reportedly cut back on production at its Chinese facilities due to concerns over profitability, slowing sales, and rising inventory levels.
What Happened: BYD has reduced shifts at some of its Chinese factories and halted plans to install new production lines, Reuters reported. This move indicates a potential slowdown in BYD&#8217;s rapid sales growth, which had previously allowed it to surpass Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as the world&#8217;s largest EV manufacturer.
As per the report, the company has canceled night shifts and decreased production at some factories by at least a third of their capacity. It has also put a hold on plans to set up new production lines. These measures have been implemented at a minimum of four factories, according to sources who requested anonymity.
Despite offering significant price reductions in China, BYD is still grappling with increasing inventory levels. This has led to a slowdown in the company&#8217;s sales growth, with production growth dropping to 13% and 0.2% year-on-year in April and May, respectively.

BYD, which sold 4.27 million cars last year, primarily in China, aims to achieve a nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">30% increase </a>in sales to 5.5 million this year.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: BYD&#8217;s decision to slow down production comes after the company faced criticism for triggering a price war in the Chinese EV market after offloading with its aggressive discounts. This led to a significant drop in BYD&#8217;s stock, which fell over 5% on the Hong Kong exchange, following a 15% plunge, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">Benzinga</a> on June 2.
Despite these setbacks, BYD managed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45969242/elon-musk-has-a-new-problem-byd-beats-tesla-in-global-ev-sales-amid-europe-expansion">overtake Tesla in global EV sales</a> for the first time in 2024, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation.&nbsp;
The recent production slowdown at BYD&#8217;s Chinese facilities may indicate a potential shift in the company&#8217;s momentum.&nbsp;

BYD Scales Back Production Amid Profit Concerns, Rising Inventory in China

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has experienced a fifth straight month of declining sales in Europe as EVs continue to gain footing in the region.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/tsla">TSLA stock here</a>.
What Happened: The latest sales figures for the European region during May come in through data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, or ACEA, on Wednesday.
Elon Musk's EV giant sold 13,863 units in May, a 27.9% year-on-year decline from the 19,227 units it sold last year during the same period. Tesla's market share also shrank to 1.3% in May from 2.1% last year.
During the first 5 months of the year, Tesla sold 75,196 units compared to 119,482 units during the same period in 2024. The data represents a 37.1% decline for the automaker in Europe.
In contrast, Battery Electric Vehicles or BEVs posted gains in the region. "In the first five months of 2025, new battery-electric car sales reached 701,089 units, capturing 15.4% of the total EU market share," the ACEA report suggested.
Why It Matters: The data highlights what has been a tough year for Musk's company, which has seen its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/06/45736798/tesla-sales-hit-3-year-low-in-this-european-nation-despite-musks-claims-of-no-demand-problem">sales decline in multiple markets</a> in Europe as rivals like BYD Co.

Despite the European slump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739130/elon-musks-tesla-defies-european-slump-with-norway-sales-growth-in-may-model-y-comes-to-the-rescue">Tesla sales grew in Norway</a> by over 213%, where the Model Y emerged as a best-selling vehicle for the EV maker. Tesla sold over 2,346 units in the country during May.
Tesla's sales have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46069883/teslas-china-sales-slip-over-10-in-mid-june-after-strong-may-surge">also decreased in China</a>, where the company had been seeing some growth in May, with the latest data suggesting the company experienced an almost 11% decline.

Tesla's Europe Sales Slide For 5th Straight Month: Elon Musk-led EV Giant's Market Share Shrinks To 1.3%

George Efstathopoulos, multi-asset portfolio manager at Fidelity International, is shifting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">his gaze East</a>. 
"For the first time, I'm not selling the rally in China," he <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2d99d11f-9d05-44ce-9f1d-e2f761156a52">says</a>, pointing to a structural innovation surge that's making the country's tech stocks serious contenders to their U.S. counterparts. Chinese tech stocks, long battered by regulatory uncertainty and global skepticism, are now outpacing their U.S. peers, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">Magnificent Seven</a>, in both performance and valuation appeal. 
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#NYSE">BABAF</a>) is up over 33% year-to-date and BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF), China's EV juggernaut, has surged nearly 46%. 
In contrast, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) is down more than 5% and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has tumbled 17% in the same period.
Valuations highlight the stark divergence.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46046720/tesla-doubles-down-on-us-elon-musk-plans-another-8-billion-investment-after-spending-nearly-10-billion-in-2024">committed $8 billion</a> to ramp up EV and AI development this year, including China's largest grid-scale energy storage project, trades at a forward P/E of 178, per Benzinga Pro data. BYD, already outselling Tesla in China, trades at just 19 times forward earnings.
Alibaba and JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) look even cheaper, with forward P/Es of 11.6 and 7.8, respectively.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chinese Tech: High Growth, Low Valuation, Government Tailwinds</h2>
EV sales in China hit a record in May, crossing 1 million units in a month for the first time. Research firm Rho Motion <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/global-ev-sales-rise-may-china-hits-2025-peak-rho-motion-2025-06-12/">attributes</a> the growth to strong domestic demand and rising exports, with BYD tapping into new markets like Mexico and Southeast Asia, reported Reuters.
Government policy is also playing a supportive role. With fewer regulatory shocks and more focus on innovation and energy transition, sentiment around China's tech sector is beginning to stabilize. "China is leading in many tech spaces," says Nandini Ramakrishnan of JPMorgan Asset Management, pointing to AI and green tech dominance as long-term drivers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Tech: Great Companies, Stretched Prices</h2>
U.S. tech giants still dominate investor portfolios, but at premium valuations. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) trades at a forward P/E of 33.6, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) at 32.4, and even Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), the cheapest among them, sits at 17.7. Tesla's triple-digit multiple, compared to BYD's single-digit trailing P/E of 7.6, underscores how much optimism is already priced in.
Moreover, YTD returns have started to diverge. Alphabet is down over 12%, Tesla has slid 8%, and Amazon is still in negative territory. Only Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft, and Nvidia have posted double-digit gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Play The Shift</h2>
Investors interested in diversifying away from expensive U.S. names may consider:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Direct exposure: Alibaba, JD, BYD</li>
<li>Broad ETFs: The KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) offers China Internet exposure, and the Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CQQQ#NYSE">CQQQ</a>) offers China Tech exposure.</li>
<li>Global innovation funds: The EMQQ The Emerging Markets Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMQQ#NYSE">EMQQ</a>) for Emerging Markets Ecommerce &amp; Internet exposure.</li>
</ul>
With structural growth drivers, cheap valuations, and improving sentiment, China tech is finally back on the menu.

Why This Fidelity Fund Manager Is Buying China Tech Over The Magnificent Seven

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) has edged past Elon Musk's EV giant in global sales for the first time, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation or ICCT.
What Happened: Chinese automakers are "building significant leads in the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) market," the ICCT said in a press release as part of its third annual Global Automaker Rating on Tuesday.
BYD exceeded Tesla for the first time in 2024 in BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales, the report says, while maintaining that both companies remain "leaders" in the ratings.
The report also says that the Chinese domestic market now accounts for over 11 million EVs sold annually, which is "more than half" of the total EV sales throughout the globe.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as BYD has been expanding its presence throughout multiple countries, with Europe currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">a key area</a> for the Chinese EV giant.
The company recently launched its best-selling model in Europe, the Seagull EV, which would be called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45560953/byds-europe-pivot-in-full-swing-with-new-26000-affordable-ev-amid-tesla-sales-slump">Dolphin Surf EV </a>in the region for $26,000. This comes in as the automaker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946809/byd-rejigs-european-strategy-amid-lack-of-market-knowledge-and-modest-dealer-network-report">overhauled its European strategy</a> after it failed to meet targets set when it entered the region.
On the other side of the coin, BYD has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">facing criticism</a> over its aggressive discounts amid China's ongoing EV price war. The company recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> sedan in China, retailing for $15,000.
