As both BYD and CATL (03750.HK) -5.000 (-0.791%) Short selling $249.40M; Ratio 56.628% accelerate the adoption of ultra-fast charging technology, investor interest in the competition between the two companies remains high.Overall, the broker believed that the launch of BYD’s second-generation battery will have limited negative impact on CATL, while taking note that the market’s transition to ultra-fast charging may create upside potential through spillover effects. BYD was anticipated to seize market share in overseas automotive markets from a low base, but its share in the domestic market was projected to experience a moderate decline.Related News UBS Lowers BYD (01211.HK) TP to HKD128, Maintains 'Buy' RatingJP Morgan maintained Overweight on CATL (300750.SZ) -14.710 (-3.667%) A-shares and BYD.
