>An unexpected ‘reset’ and an unfortunate first for Stellantis… - Stellantis on Tuesday reported Q1 sales down 12% at € 41.7bn (-4% vs consensus), hurt by the decline in volumes (-10%) but also FX headwinds (-3%). Also, the OEM clearly confirmed its full-year guidance, albeit providing clarifications that suggest that H1 will be tougher than expected, with a targeted operating margin of between 10.0% and 11.0% (10.5%e) and visibly lower FCF, ahead of a hoped-for impro...

We raise our estimates on BYD’s 2024-26 sales volume by 6-8% to 3.8m units/4.3m units/4.6m units respectively over higher assumptions on China’s EV sales due to bigger-than-expected government subsidies and zero downpayment auto loans. Accordingly, we lift target price from HK$140.00 to HK$160.00. Maintain SELL on the flattening sales and severe margin pressure from price cuts and decline in capacity utilisation.
We raise 2024 forecasts on China’s PV sales growth and PEV sales growth from +8%/+21% to +10%/+24% on bigger-than-expected subsidies for the cash-for-clunker program and zero downpayment auto loans. Meanwhile, we lift the target prices of BYD, Geely, GWM, GAC and Yadea to HK$160.00/HK$13.00/HK$13.50/HK$3.30 /HK$20.00 respectively. Upgrade GWM from HOLD to BUY, and upgrade GAC from SELL to HOLD.
