Friday’s Hong Kong filing is a half-year scorecard, not a model launch. BYD Company Limited posted unaudited 2026 interim results on HKEX: revenue of about 344.815 billion yuan, down 7.13 percent; net profit attributable to shareholders of about 12.325 billion yuan, down 20.54 percent; gross profit of about 64.989 billion yuan, down 2.81 percent. The same document, citing China Association of Automobile Manufacturers figures, counts 792,000 exported vehicles in the first half, up 67.8 percent. That export line is why this outranks a China-only Volkswagen pre-sale and an India scooter launch — GetEVCar already lists the cars those shipments feed, starting with the BYD Seal sedan and the Sealion 7 SUV, both with dealer flags in the UK and the UAE.
The quarterly rebound is a trade-press split, not a separate HKEX table. Electrek, the South China Morning Post, and CarNewsChina, working from this filing against the first-quarter report, put second-quarter net profit at 8.2 billion yuan, up about 30 percent. CnEVPost and Electrek also print first-half NEV volume of 1,808,511, down 15.72 percent, with the drop narrowing to 3.24 percent in the second quarter (1,108,048 units) and overseas sales of 471,091 in that quarter, up 82.46 percent. Gross margin, on their reading of the same profit-and-revenue lines, rose to 18.85 percent from 18.01 percent. Those unit counts are not restated as a single headline block in the English MD&A we used; we are not treating them as a second official table.
BYD on GetEVCar still starts with volume nameplates, not the half-year P&L. The live Seal is 82.5 kWh, 570 km, 230 kW (Design RWD) or 390 kW (Excellence AWD), 150 kW DC. Sealion 7 tops out at 91.3 kWh, 502 km, 390 kW, 230 kW DC on Excellence AWD; Comfort RWD is 82.5 kWh, 483 km, 150 kW DC. The Atto 3 stays the smaller UK and UAE dealer SUV at 60.48 kWh, 420 km, 150 kW, 88 kW DC. None of those rows pick up a 12.325 billion yuan profit field, a 792,000 export count, or a US dealer flag. The filing does not add a BYD retail car to the US market page.
Premium brands in the same MD&A — Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang — grew 61.0 percent and reached 12.8 percent of the group’s passenger-vehicle sales. The filing prices the Denza Z9GT from about €115,000 at the April Palais Garnier Europe launch. GetEVCar’s Denza Z9 GT wagon is listed at 122.5 kWh, 1,036 km, 710 kW, and 1,100 kW DC, with the UAE row marked Announced rather than a dealer count. That is a Europe list price in the report, not a new AED or GBP MSRP on the live page. R&D in the half was about 28.9 billion yuan. Flash charging in the filing is 7,018 stations at the end of June, against a 20,000-station China year-end target — a different clock from the 28 August Shenzhen ceremony that marked the 10,000th China site, which we logged yesterday, and from the UK 300-station plan published on 26 August.
One overnight gloss stays single-source. CarNewsChina on 29 August attributed the first-half volume shortfall to second-generation Blade Battery ramp constraints and quoted chairman Wang Chuan-fu that this year’s sales depend on battery production. That explanation is not in the English MD&A block we used, so it is not written here as a confirmed capacity fact. Electrek and CnEVPost also carry a 1.5 million 2026 export target as management commentary, and July monthly figures (419,211 total, 179,841 overseas) that sit after the reporting period. The filing’s UAE hook on the energy-storage side is an 11.275 GWh Masdar supply agreement — not a new passenger-car allocation.
Two China-only items sit behind this lead. FAW-Volkswagen opened ID. AURA T6 pre-sales on 29 August from 135,900 yuan, with CnEVPost listing four trims to 169,900 yuan and up to 660 km CLTC. Volkswagen is on GetEVCar; ID. AURA T6 is not, and China is not a market page. Ather’s Konarc scooter, launched in India on 29 August from about ₹99,999, has no India market here. Rivian’s 2027 R1 trim refresh remains a US configurator story from yesterday’s log.
What we are not claiming: that GetEVCar now has a BYD H1 financials module, that 792,000 exports are UK or UAE registrations, that €115,000 is a live Denza Z9 GT UK OTR, a US BYD retail MSRP, that the 10,000th China flash site is in the interim report’s end-June count, or that second-generation Blade shortages are an official line item. The useful next step is still the live BYD pages, starting with the Seal.
