The significant growth in revenue over last year fuels the optimistic forecasts (for revenue and EPS) and the substantial changes observed in the financial ratios. The new product range offered by BYD to its customers that are looking for an affordable transition to electric vehicles, entry into the European market and government policies promoting the transition to sustainable transportation have been the fundamental driving factors in revenue growth observed since 2021.
