HSBC's new price target is 389 Hong Kong dollars (47.70 euros), while UOB-Kay Hian increases the price target by 49% to 410 Hong Kong dollars (50.30 euros). Analyst Ken Lee from UOB-Kay Hian estimates that BYD can significantly strengthen its market position by introducing the ADAS system aktiencheck.de reported.
BYD plans to install a self-developed driving assistance system as standard in all models, including small cars under $10,000.
