Daily Investment Strategy
Daily focus:BYD(1211)
Recently, BYD issued nearly 130 million shares, causing a dilution that led to a drop in stock price, which is seen as a buying opportunity. The target price for BYD has been raised due to its advancements in intelligent driving technology. Intelligent driving relies heavily on large model training, and BYD's sales of over 4 million units in 2024 give it a significant advantage. The shift towards intelligent driving is expected to be a major trend this year, and BYD's large production volume provides it with a cost advantage, allowing it to maintain higher profit margins in a price war.
