BYD CO LTD-H posted a 28% increase in third-quarter profit to 10 billion yuan ($1.50 billion), missing consensus forecasts as competition intensified. The result cooled from the previous period's 30% growth rate in China. The slowing momentum highlights mounting pressures on domestic automakers as overseas expansion accelerates.
