BYD Confident of Hitting 3 Million Sales Despite China Weakness
(Bloomberg) -- BYD Co. remains confident of selling 3 million clean cars this year despite economic challenges and an intense price war in the world’s second-biggest economy, founder and Chairman Wang Chuanfu told analysts at a briefing Tuesday, according to people who were present at the event.

China’s best-selling auto brand also signaled solid profits will continue in the second half of 2023, further boosting the outlook for the company, according to the people, who declined to be identified because the analyst meeting was private.

The Shenzhen-based market-leader on Monday unveiled a 145% increase in second-quarter profit to 6.8 billion yuan ($934 million), and a 67% jump in revenue to 140 billion yuan after selling a record number of cars in a three-month period.
A price war started by Tesla Inc. at the start of the year has squeezed other EV manufacturers. Both Xpeng Inc. and Nio Inc. this month reported wider-than-estimated second-quarter losses. BYD, however, has resisted joining the price war, instead relying on its broad range of models and price points to attract buyers.
For BYD “the clear message is they’re not” going to cut prices, Yuqian Ding, HSBC Qianhai Securities head of China autos research, told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. “The upgraded product mix could help them mitigate largely from the pricing side so they stay more resilient and disciplined,” she said.
The Warren Buffett-backed clean car giant has sold 1.5 million fully-electric and hybrid passenger vehicles this year through July, half way to its annual target.

ReutersPepsiCo returns to Indonesia, breaks ground for snack factory
U.S. food and beverage maker PepsiCo began building a snack factory in Indonesia's West Java on Wednesday, marking its return to Southeast Asia's largest economy after splitting with a local partner two years ago. The factory, part of PepsiCo's $200 million commitment to invest in Indonesia over a 10-year period, is expected to start producing snacks by 2025. PepsiCo's affiliate Fritolay Netherlands Holding B.V. and Indofood CBP, a unit of Indonesia's largest food company Indofood Group, ended a 30-year joint venture in 2021 without providing any reason, when Indofood bought PepsiCo's minority stake.
