The Shenzhen-traded shares are down nearly 5% so far in 2025, the second-worst performer on a Bloomberg Intelligence index of battery peers that has gained 11%. A key supplier to Tesla Inc. and many other global carmakers, CATL has faced concerns from competition to geopolitical tensions.
CATL already reported preliminary figures showing record full-year net income, while sales fell on weak prices. The market is awaiting more details on its upcoming Hong Kong listing, which could raise more than $5 billion, as well as any updates on the impact of US regulations.
Analysts remain bullish on the stock, with 52 buy recommendations against two holds and no sells. The average price target projects a gain of 36% in the share price over the next 12 months.
