Market News Summary

On the institutional views front, Citi issued a report on March 16 stating that they expect BYD’s exports and domestic sales in March to expand month-over-month, totaling approximately 220,000 to 250,000 units. They reiterated their “buy” rating for the company with a target price of 174 Hong Kong dollars. Citi believes that BYD is likely to reduce inventory in March and April, controlling production ahead of the new product cycle expected to start in mid-April. In terms of products, BYD recently launched the FANGCHENG Leopard Ti3 Flash Charge Edition, and Citi estimates that once sales mature, monthly volumes could reach 8,000 to 9,000 units; the Leopard 7 will officially launch in April.

Regarding sales data, according to information from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), during January-February 2026, Volkswagen and its two joint ventures with First Automotive Works and SAIC Motor collectively held a market share of 13.9%, reclaiming the top spot in new car sales; Geely Auto ranked second with a 13.8% market share; Toyota Motor had a combined market share of 7.8%, ranking third; BYD, affected by China’s reduction in subsidies for new energy vehicles, saw its market share fall to 7.1% during January-February, dropping to fourth place, with February sales recording the largest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, institutions generally believe that with the start of a new product cycle and ongoing technological advantages, BYD's subsequent sales are expected to gradually recover.

Review of Warrant Products

In terms of warrant products, several BYD-related derivatives mentioned on March 10, 2026, showed significant performance in the following two trading days (up to March 12). During this period, the underlying BYD stock rose 1.29%, while related bullish products demonstrated strong leverage effects: HSBC Call Warrant (25528) $HS-BYD @EC2608A.C (25528.HK)$ and BOC call warrant (24320) $BI-BYD @EC2611A.C (24320.HK)$ both rose by 6%, BOC bull certificate (55019) $BI#BYD RC2612E.C (55019.HK)$ increased by 9%, BOC bull certificate (55018) rose by 8%. The data shows that although the upside of the underlying stock was limited, the increase in related derivatives significantly outpaced the stock's performance. This is precisely the core feature of leveraged products — they amplify returns when there is volatility in the underlying stock.

With BYD’s current share price at HK$102.3, combined with the aforementioned support levels of HK$95.8 and HK$94.2, as well as resistance levels at HK$108.2 and HK$110.4, investors can choose suitable CBBCs (Callable Bull/Bear Contracts) or warrants based on their own views.

For investors optimistic about BYD holding above the HK$100 mark and breaking upwards, two call warrant products can be considered. HSBC call warrant (25528) has a strike price of HK$106.98, offering approximately 5.8x leverage, making it the product with the lowest premium and implied volatility, ideal for cost-effective bullish strategies. Based on the current share price, this slightly out-of-the-money product has an OTM degree of around 4.6%, close to the first resistance level of HK$108.2, suitable for investors expecting the stock to break through HK$108.2. Another option is the BOC call warrant (24320), which has a strike price of HK$104.1, providing 4.4x leverage. This warrant offers the highest leverage and low implied volatility, with an OTM degree of about 1.8%, making it more sensitive to stock price increases and better suited for those expecting moderate upward movement.

For bearish investors who believe BYD shares will remain capped below the HK$108.2 resistance or even retreat towards support levels, two put warrant options are available. HSBC put warrant (22409) has a strike price of HK$81.83, offering 5.5x leverage, and features the lowest premium and implied volatility, making it appropriate for bearish strategies. Alternatively, BOC put warrant (22386) also has a strike price of HK$81.83, with 5.3x leverage, relatively higher than its peers. Note that the strike price of HK$81.83 is lower than the current stock price, classifying these as out-of-the-money products. If the share price falls below the HK$95.8 support, such products would perform optimally.

Regarding CBBC deployment, bullish investors may consider two bull contracts. BOC bull contract (55018) has a stop-loss level at HK$85, providing actual leverage of 6.5x with relatively low premium. Another choice is BOC bull contract (55019), with a stop-loss level at HK$84 and actual leverage of 6.1x, the highest among the options, with a similarly low premium. When selecting bull contracts, ensure the stop-loss level is below the support levels of HK$95.8 and HK$94.2 to provide sufficient safety buffer; the stop-loss levels of HK$85 and HK$84 are far below both supports, ensuring ample margin of safety, making them suitable for conservative strategies. Reviewing past warrant performance, the BOC bull contracts (55019) and (55018) deployed on March 10 recorded gains of 8% to 9% during the underlying stock's rise, demonstrating the leverage effect of bull contracts.

Bearish investors may consider two bear contracts. UBS bear contract (63979) has a stop-loss level at HK$106, offering actual leverage of 10.1x, with the lowest premium and relatively high leverage. An alternative is Societe Generale bear contract (57764), also with a stop-loss level at HK$106, providing 10.1x leverage, with high leverage and low premium. When choosing bear contracts, ensure the stop-loss level exceeds the resistance levels of HK$108.2 and HK$110.4; the HK$106 stop-loss is slightly below the first resistance level of HK$108.2, representing a closer strategic option with good leverage effects, but note that if the share price quickly breaks through HK$108.2, there is a risk of the product being called back. More conservative investors might opt for bear contracts with a stop-loss level above HK$110.

Overall, BYD's stock is currently in a strong breakout phase, successfully reclaiming the HK$100 level, with the HK$108.2 resistance set to determine short-term direction. Fundamentally, positive factors like the launch of second-generation blade batteries and fast-charging technology, accelerated construction of fast-charging stations, and Citi's optimistic sales outlook are converging. However, the decline in market share for Jan-Feb sales and changes in subsidy policies still need monitoring. Investors should strictly manage risks when deploying positions, select appropriate derivatives based on key support levels at HK$95.8 and HK$94.2 and resistance levels at HK$108.2 and HK$110.4, and take into account the impact of OTM degrees on product performance, as well as the crucial role of implied volatility levels on warrant prices.
