What happened
BYD reported a 29.8% year-over-year increase in second-quarter net profit, reaching 8.2 billion yuan ($1.22 billion).
This marks the company's first quarterly profit rise in over a year, snapping a streak of four consecutive quarterly declines.
The rebound was powered by a record surge in exports, which helped offset sluggish sales in China.
The latest figures also reverse a steep 55.4% profit collapse reported just three months earlier.
Why it matters
The turnaround suggests that BYD's overseas expansion is becoming a crucial growth engine, even as domestic market conditions remain challenging.
Ending the losing streak could signal a fresh phase for the company after a prolonged period of margin pressure.
