Incorrect Stock Split for BYDDF

TexMike

BYD Company Ltd., a Chinese EV maker, trades in the U.S. under two share class tickers: BYDDY and BYDDF. BYDDY represents the Class A shares (mainland China), and BYDDF represents the Class H shares (Hong Kong). Both tickers are for the same company, but trade at different prices.

On June 10, 2025, only BYDDY had a 3:1 stock split—BYDDF did not.

However, Quicken's data provider mistakenly applied the 3:1 split to both tickers. I rejected the split for BYDDF to keep my share count correct, but its share price still downloads at the split price, which is wrong.

Please correct the pricing data for BYDDF to reflect no split—both historical and future prices.

I think you are wrong. Internet searches show that BYDDF did split 3:1 (I see June 8 from a Hong Kong site for the 1211 ticker and June 10 for BYDDF itself) while BYDDY is schedule to split at the end of July.

Fidelity Investments also shows a 3:1 split for BYDDF on 6/10/25 and the following for BYDDY

My apologies. BYDDF did in fact split 3:1 after market close on Monday, June 10. It looks like the split was not published on historical websites until today. I was not able to find the information everyone provided about the split. As of this morning, NASDAQ had not yet published the split and my broker, Vanguard, did not show the split in my brokerage account either. Thank you everyone for your input.

Quicken may close this post.

BYDDF did split 3:1 on June 10, but the split will not settle until 7/31/2025. My E-Trade account has the original shares in it and also another dummy security (which may be a due bill) representing the split shares. Quicken does not have this due bill and shows a short share balance equal to the due bill subtracted from my position. I am told by E-Trade that the BYDDF position will normalize at E-Trade in the first week of August. Quicken is not handling this correctly and needs to have transactions and positions that reflect what is actually in E-Trade. It is not clear how Quicken will handle the transactions in when the split settles.

Update: Keep getting pop-up to accept BYD 3:1 stock split – how do I stop it?

Hey everyone, I could use some help figuring this out now the the split has been confirmed.

I manually entered the 3:1 stock split for BYDDF on June 11, 2025, since my understanding is that’s when it actually happened (after the market closed). But the next day, when I ran a One Step Update, Quicken gave me that pop-up box asking me to accept or reject the BYDDF downloaded split. It says “Downloaded Data 3:1 on 6/10/2025” and “Replace on 6/11/2025.” (Screenshot #1.)

I rejected the prompt because I had already manually entered the split myself. Not sure if the split data may have also came from Vanguard later.

Now when I check the Online Center > Securities Comparison Mismatch (Screenshot #2), and Details, (Screenshot #3) it’s even more confusing. It shows “Shares Reported as of 6/12/2025.” So that’s a third date in the mix.

So a couple questions:

1. How can I stop the pop-up box from appearing every time I run a One Step Update?
2. Should I change the transaction date in my register? Right now it's set to 6/11/2025. Would setting it to 6/10/2025 (Quicken’s date) or 6/12/2025 (possibly Vanguard’s?) make the pop-up go away?

Thanks in advance!

In reality . . .

What is happening with this stock right now is - The price of the BYDDF shares dropped due
to the company issuing a 200% stock dividend. The 200% bonus issue = 80% bonus shares + 120%
capitalization shares. These additional shares will be payable 7/29. This is for every 10 shares.

This impacts the price of the stock the same away a 3:1 forward split would, but its not
technically a split - just a very large stock dividend.

Thanks, s4442jlp. While I agree that the stock dividend may not be a technical split, it is being treated as a 3:1 stock split by data feed engines (including Quicken), quote providers, and listed as a 3:1 split on financial websites. I guess when a company is low on cash, or doesn't want to use cash, to pay an actual cash dividend, it issues more stock to its shareholders in the form of a so-called "split". I appreciate your input.

BYD Company Limited trades in U.S. markets under two different tickers BYDDF (Class H), and BYDDY (ADR), but they are for the same company. BYDDF (Class H) 3:1 split occurred on June 10, 2025. BYDDY (ADR) will have a future 6:1 split on July 29., 2025. Thanks again!

After further research, I wanted to share a second issue I’ve observed with Quicken’s data feed regarding BYD Company Limited (BYD) and its two U.S.-traded share classes. These share classes represent the same company, but trade separately and should be treated as distinct securities:

• BYDDF – Class H shares (OTC) (CUSIP: Y1023R104)
• BYDDY – ADR shares (CUSIP: 05606L100)

What Happened – Two Stock Dividends

1. BYDDF (Class H) declared a 3-for-1 stock dividend, with a record date of June 11, 2025, and a payable date of July 29, 2025. Shareholders will receive 2 additional shares for each 1 held, for a total of 3. (Source: Attached BNY Investor Disclosure)

1. BYDDY (ADR) declared a similar corporate action — but because the ADR ratio is changing from 1 ADR = 2 shares to 1 ADR = 1 share, holders will effectively receive a 6-for-1 distribution (5 additional ADRs for each 1 held). (Source: Attached BNY Investor Disclosure)

Quicken's Data Feed Error(s)

Here’s where the problem starts:

• On June 10, Quicken downloaded a 1-for-0.6 split into my BYDDF (Class H) holding. This suggests a reverse split, which never occurred.

• On June 11, Quicken also downloaded a 3-for-1 stock split into the same BYDDF (Class H) security. While the direction is correct, the timing is wrong — the shares shouldn’t post until the payable date, July 29.
• To make matters worse, Quicken appears to be confusing BYDDY and BYDDF. The 6-for-1 ADR distribution for BYDDY, also payable on July 29, is being incorrectly applied to BYDDF (Class H), even though they’re different securities with different CUSIPs and market behavior.

Bottom Line

It looks like Quicken’s data feed is:

• Mistaking stock dividends for stock splits
• Applying the wrong effective dates
• Possibly mixing up ADR and OTC share classes, as if they’re the same security

What I’m Doing

• I’ve tested this in a copy of my Quicken file and confirmed the downloaded transactions are incorrect.
• I’ve avoided manually entering any stock split or dividend until after the July 29 payable date.
• I’ve discussed this issue with Quicken Support and was told that elevated support would investigate and try to resolve these errors. I’m hoping Quicken Support and the data provider can fix this before the July 29, 2025 payable date.

This is a known issue to Quicken. Has anyone else seen similar behavior with BYDDF or BYDDY? I’d like to compare notes or hear how you’ve handled this.
