By: Visible Alpha Research & Innovation Lab

In our weekly round-up of the top charts and market-moving analyst insights: BYD (SZSE: 002594) leads in vehicle sales but Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) leads in revenue; Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is expected to see a modest growth rebound in 2024 after a tough 2023; Spain’s Solaria (SIX/BME: SLR) is ramping up solar capacity, driving revenue projections.

BYD Leads in Vehicle Sales but Tesla Dominates in Revenue

BYD and Tesla are two of the biggest players in the global electric vehicle (EV) space. While Tesla sells only EVs, BYD sells both EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In 2022, China-based BYD (SZSE: 002594) sold 1.9 million vehicles, 555K units more than Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) did globally. According to Visible Alpha consensus, the gap between the units sold by the two companies is only expected to widen in 2023, with BYD projected to sell nearly 3 million vehicles, 1.1 million units more than Tesla. By 2025, BYD is projected to sell 4.4 million vehicles versus Tesla at an expected 2.7 million.

Despite BYD selling more units, however, Tesla still generates higher automotive revenue. In 2023, analysts expect Tesla to generate $82.4 billion in automotive revenue, compared to $67.8 billion for BYD. Between 2023-2025, BYD’s automotive revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 27% to $109 billion, while Tesla’s automotive revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21% to $120 billion.

AppLovin to See Strong Software Revenue Growth Amid Strategy Shift

AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP), a mobile advertising company that delivers advertisement platforms for app developers, is projected to see software platform revenue grow by 60% year over year in 2023, based on Visible Alpha consensus. This growth is expected to be driven by Axon 2.0, the latest version of the company’s AI-based ad tech platform, which it launched earlier this year.

After dropping by 11% last year, in-app advertising revenue from the company’s business segment is expected to decline by 23% in 2023, while in-app purchase revenue from its consumer segment is expected to decline by 19% in 2023, after also declining by around 19% in 2022.

Chubb’s North America Agricultural Segment to Face Slower Growth, Say Analysts

Analysts project a deceleration in the growth rate of net premiums earned by property & casualty insurance giant Chubb (NYSE: CB) within its North American agricultural division during the forecasted period, according to Visible Alpha consensus.

This slowdown in growth is influenced by several factors, including climate volatility and its impact on crop productivity; and given that Chubb’s agricultural segment falls under the federally subsidized crop insurance program, the insurer is limited in its ability to impose higher premiums on agricultural insurance policies.
