The construction of ultra-fast charging facilities can enhance BYD COMPANY's brand competitiveness and produce spillover effects, making this investment worthwhile according to the broker's view.

Citi Research anticipated that the Company is unlikely to initiate a price war this year, based on anti-involution policies and the potential negative impact of price cuts on the brand. With advanced ultra-fast charging technology, BYD COMPANY is expected to focus on premium brands this year.

Therefore, the broker kept rating at Buy on BYD COMPANY's H-shares, with a target price of $174.
