Core Insights - **Price Competition Framework**: A framework was developed to assess potential price cuts in overseas markets based on three parameters: 1. Is the auto market in contraction? 2. Do Chinese OEMs have high penetration? 3. Is there excess production capacity? - Thailand is currently the only market exhibiting all three parameters, making it an exception rather than the norm for price competition [1][16][24]. - **Profitability in Overseas Markets**: Chinese OEMs, particularly BYD, are achieving significantly higher Average Selling Prices (ASP), gross margins, and unit profits in overseas markets compared to domestic sales.

The price cuts were driven by market contraction, high penetration of Chinese OEMs, and excess production capacity [31][39]. - **Future Risks**: If other overseas markets begin to exhibit similar conditions as Thailand, there could be a **16%-19% downside** to cash margins at 0% [2][12][44]. Investment Recommendations - **Recommended Stocks**: BYD and XPeng are identified as well-positioned for overseas growth due to their higher exposure to international markets and expanding sales networks [4][62].
