Excerpt from China Galaxy International Securities (Hong Kong) Co., Limited report.
Report Summary
- CATL reported stronger than expected Q4 2025 results, with revenue and net profit both seeing significant year-on-year growth. The company’s strong operational efficiency, increased overseas sales, and expanding market share in Europe supported its margins.
- The impact from rising lithium carbonate prices is expected to be limited as CATL can pass on costs, improve internal efficiency, and promote sodium ion batteries. The company is ramping up capacity and is well-positioned to meet growing global demand for power and ESS batteries.
- CATL’s power battery and ESS sales are forecasted to grow robustly in FY26F, with sales volumes expected to reach 646 GWh and 176 GWh respectively. The target price has been raised to RMB 505, with an “Add” rating and high conviction call maintained due to the strong margin profile and leading market position.
- Risks include slower overseas EV penetration and faster technological advances by competitors. Key catalysts for re-rating include new product penetration and battery technology breakthroughs.
- Financial forecasts show continued growth in revenue, EBITDA, and net profit through 2028, with improving ROE and dividend yield. The company maintains a dominant market share in China and is expanding its global footprint, especially in Europe and the US ESS market.
