With the latest disposal, Berkshire’s holding of BYD’s issue H-shares fell from 16.28% to 15.99% as of November 17, Reuters said.

Berkshire first sold BYD shares in late August, when it disposed of 1.3 million shares of the electric vehicle maker for $47 million. The firm opened a position in BYD in 2008.

BYD has emerged as among the frontrunners in the hot-and-happening Chinese electric vehicle market and it has a thriving battery manufacturing business as well. The company, however, is susceptible to China risks, including the frequent COVID-19 lockdowns and the country’s standoff with the U.S.

Price Action: BYD’s ADR listed over the counter settled Monday’s session at $46.87, down 0.85%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
