BYD $1211 (-4,28 %) is rewarding its shareholders with bonus shares: the company announced that it would issue eight additional shares for every ten held. This measure met with a positive response on the stock market - BYD shares rose significantly. Analysts see this as a sign of financial strength and a means of increasing the company's attractiveness to investors. The move also comes amid strong operational growth in electric vehicles.

Let's see what the future holds

I read today on Finanzen. Net today that BYD has adopted a new dividend plan. Quote:

"Under this plan, shareholders will in future receive eight additional bonus shares for every ten BYD shares held. In addition, twelve capitalization shares (new shares issued to existing shareholders free of charge from the company's capital reserves, editor's note) are to be issued to shareholders for every ten shares held, and a cash dividend of RMB 39.74 per ten shares is also planned."

I am 18 years old and started investing last October.

I have a part-time job with an income of €350 a month.

I need this for my savings plan on

$NOVO B (-1,03 %)
$NKE (-0,02 %)
$SOFI (+1,29 %)
$CSNDX (+0,1 %)
$QBTS (+3,29 %) and $1211 (-4,28 %)

I follow the dividend strategy, but I also have a few non-dividend stocks in it because I think they have potential with an investment horizon of at least 10 years.

BYD $1211 (-4,28 %) grows strongly in China

Last year, BYD set the course for a bright future and established itself as the undisputed market leader in China. The company's profit shot up by more than a third to an impressive record high of 40.3 billion yuan in 2024, which corresponds to around 5.1 billion euros. Turnover is also impressive: It climbed by 29 percent to around 99 billion euros. A total of 4.25 million cars were sold, including 1.76 million all-electric cars. BYD has set itself ambitious targets for 2024 and plans to sell between 5 and 6 million vehicles. These impressive figures are the result of a sharp rise in demand for low-cost electric cars in China. While the e-car market in the People's Republic is growing rapidly, foreign manufacturers, especially Volkswagen, are fighting for market share. In 2023, BYD overtook the Volkswagen Group and secured market leadership in China. Even at the start of the new year, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. In contrast, Tesla is facing a number of challenges in the People's Republic. Another BYD highlight is the presentation of an innovative charging system that delivers enough energy for a range of 400 kilometers in just five minutes.

Toronto excludes Tesla $TSLA (+1,73 %) from e-car subsidy

A major decision has been made in Toronto, one of Canada's largest cities: Tesla has been excluded from financial support for electric cars. This measure is a direct response to the increasing trade tensions between the US and Canada and will remain in place until the contentious political issues are resolved. Mayor Olivia Chow explained that operators of rental vehicles, such as cabs, will now have to look for other electric cars, as Tesla vehicles are no longer eligible since March 1. Although this regulation is rather symbolic, it sends a clear signal against the policies of Elon Musk, who acts as an advisor to Donald Trump. In recent weeks, Tesla has suffered a decline in new registrations worldwide, with sales figures in the EU and China falling particularly sharply. The company has already warned of possible retaliatory tariffs and emphasized the urgency of ensuring that trade issues do not negatively impact US companies.
