China EV Battery Installations to Log Strong Growth This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-20 12:30

0430 GMT - China's EV battery installations will likely surge this year, driven by strong electric-vehicle sales and rising demand for energy storage systems, says Daiwa analyst Kelvin Lau in a note. China's electric-vehicle production rose 12.3% from a year earlier to 1.72 million units in December, with EV battery installations rising 30%, according to data from the China Automotive Battery Innovation Alliance. Demand for energy storage systems will likely be a major growth driver for batteries this year, he adds. Also, changes to China's policy on value-added-tax refunds for exports set to take effect April 1 might trigger front-loading demand, further boosting overall shipments this year, he says. Daiwa reaffirms its positive stance on the sector and reiterates its buy rating for CATL. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
