CATL Better Positioned to Navigate Cost Volatility -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-29 14:04

0604 GMT - CATL appears relatively better positioned to navigate cost volatility as its capacity bottlenecks ease this year, says HSBC Global Research analysts in a note. CATL's pricing has shown greater stability than industry averages, the analysts note. The Chinese battery maker has stronger bargaining power and lock-in with upstream suppliers. Its improved product mix and overseas exposure is also expected to support growth, they add. HSBC Global Research is positive on CATL's earnings growth outlook, supported by volume growth amid domestic and overseas capacity ramp ups. It maintains a buy rating for CATL's A and H shares with a target price of CNY450 and HK$594, respectively. The A shares are last at CNY340.06 and H shares are at HK$472.60.
