比亞迪闢謠令股價大幅回升
Investors in the electric carmaker may be feeling slightly reassured after the Hong Kong-listed firm said reports that Warren Buffett intends to cut his stake are false.
On Thursday shares in BYD, in which highly regarded investor Warren Buffett has a 10 per cent stake, fell by as much as one half without explanation. They rose to HK$28.80 in morning trading on Friday, although that is still far short of Wednesday's close of HK$35.20.
投資大師巴菲特持有比亞迪10%的股份。週四，該公司H股股價一度下跌50%，原因不明。週五，該公司發佈聲明後，股價早盤上漲16.8%至29.25港港幣，不過仍遠低於週三35.20港元的收盤價。The company said in an announcement to the HK stock exchange on Friday that it had communicated with Mr Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway and that "it has no present intention to reduce shareholdings in the company," citing press articles earlier this week alleging that this was so.
該公司在週五提交給港交所的一份聲明中表示，已與巴菲特投資公司伯克希爾哈撒韋(Berkshire Hathaway)溝通過，後者“沒有減持該公司股票的計劃”，比亞迪表示，“董事會注意到12月18日當天或前後出現載有有關巴菲特擬大舉減持本公司股票的新聞媒體報道”。
BYD has had a troubled few years, delivering losses in seven out of the last 10 quarters. In a separate filing, BYD made further statements reassuring the market about its performance:
最近幾年，比亞迪遭遇困境，在過去10個季度中有7個季度錄得虧損。在提交的另外一份監管文件中，比亞迪作出進一步聲明，以打消市場對其業務表現的疑慮。The business operations of the Company are in normal conditions, and the development of various businesses of the Company has been smooth. There have not been substantial changes to the fundamental operations and the internal and external operational environments of the Company.
聲明稱：“公司經營情況正常，各業務進展順利，公司基本面及內外部經營環境未發生重大變化。”In respect of the rumor "The Company has suffered substantial exchange losses in the amount of several hundred million United States Dollars in Russia", the value of products of the Company exported to Russia is not substantial (less than 1 million United States Dollars), and such products are traded in United States Dollars, and hence there have not been substantial exchange losses incurred.
“關於‘比亞迪在俄羅斯遭受數億美元匯兌損失’傳聞，本公司出口俄羅斯產品交易金額較小(低於100萬美元)且以美元結算，不存在匯兌損失的問題。”In respect of the rumor "Number of customer orders for electric bus received by the Company has significantly decreased", the development of the electric vehicle business of the Company is in normal conditions, and the number of customer orders for electric bus received by the Company has not substantially decreased.

“關於‘電動客車訂單大幅萎縮’傳聞，本公司電動汽車發展良好，電動客車訂單並沒有出現下降，且公司訂單及出貨增長保持良好勢頭。”In respect of the rumor "Certain investors have incurred losses in margin trading of the shares in the Company and substantial fund investors have sold their shares in the Company to minimize their losses", such incidents are market behaviours of which the Board is not in a position to verify and the Board has no comments thereon.
“關於‘融資盤爆倉，重倉基金被觸發止損’傳聞，本公司認爲屬於市場行爲，公司對此並不能判斷其真實性。”In respect of the rumor "Mr. Warren Buffett has intended to sell a substantial amount of his shares in the Company", as at the date of this announcement, the subsidiary owned by Mr. Warren Buffett is holding 225,000,000 H shares in the Company and the Board is not aware of any incident confirming a substantial sale of shares in the Company by Mr. Warren Buffet.
