Driven by the Chinese government's dual goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality,” the NEV industry experienced rapid growth, leading to a significant increase in demand for NEV batteries. In particular, shipments of new energy vehicle batteries in mainland China are expected to increase from 816.6 GWh in 2024 to 1,860.5 GWh in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 22.9%; shipments of the energy storage system battery industry in mainland China are expected to increase from 300.4 GWh in 2024 to 863.3 GWh in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 30.2%; vehicle ownership in mainland China is expected to increase from 354.3 million in 2024 to 430.5 in 2028 Million vehicles, with a CAGR of 5.0%. According to Frost & Sullivan, sales of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials in mainland China are expected to increase further at a CAGR of 17.2% from 2,056.0 kilotons in 2024 to 3,884.0 kilotons in 2028, while sales of diesel engine exhaust treatment fluids, automotive lubricants, coolants and vehicle maintenance products in mainland China are expected to grow at CAGR of 9.4%, 1.8%, 8.5% and 4.0% respectively from 2024 to 2028.
The company's revenue for 2021-2023 was 4.05 billion, 14.07 billion yuan, and 8.73 billion yuan, respectively, and corresponding net profit was 0.433 billion yuan, 1.03 billion yuan, and -1.51 billion yuan. In 2024 H1, the company's revenue was 3.569 billion yuan, down from 3.814 billion yuan in the same period last year. The main reason for the decline in the company's revenue and profit after 2023 is that the decline in lithium carbonate prices caused the company's gross margin to fall and prepared for a fall in inventory prices. We believe that there is still great uncertainty about the company's revenue and profit growth in the short term, and it is recommended to purchase carefully.
