ARKQ: Betting On The Future At Triple-Digit P/Es Rarely Ends Well

Q3 EV Wars: Who Won, Who Lost?

The global electric vehicle market remains highly competitive, with China as the dominant region and the U.S. seeing a temporary Q3 boost from expiring tax credits. BYD Company Limited leads in global EV sales but saw a rare year-over-year decline in Q3, mainly due to intense competition in China, though exports are surging.
