BYD COMPANY (01211.HK) -1.500 (-1.193%) Short selling $923.24M; Ratio 18.369% is reportedly paring back its production capacity at some of its factories in Mainland China, a research report by CLSA indicated. The company shattered the rumor, explaining it is merely adjusting production during the off-season. However, CLSA believed this move came as no surprise, as BYD's factories have a monthly capacity of about 500,000 vehicles, while recent output has been around 300,000-400,000 vehicles. The broker assumed the production cut can help the company and the industry’s efforts to reduce inventory overhang.
