In Friday trading, BYD Company Limited (OTCPK:BYDDF) saw a surge in stock price following its announcement of plans to construct its inaugural European automobile manufacturing plant in Szeged, Hungary. Initially expected to be capable of producing around 200,000 vehicles, this project represents one of the largest investments in Hungarian economic history. Hungary is emerging as a significant electric vehicle (EV) hub, having garnered an estimated €20 billion in EV-related investments over the past five years, including significant contributions from China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. Furthermore, with analysts predicting a two- to three-year timeline for production initiation, the move signifies a momentous step for BYD in its competitive entry into the European EV market. Notably, Barron's named BYD a superior EV stock selection over Tesla (TSLA) for 2024. Shares of BYD increased by 1.35% in late morning trading on Friday.
