0956 GMT - Contemporary Amperex Technology's capacity is likely to reach 1.25 terawatt-hours by the end of 2026 and rise further to 1.75 TWh in 2027, Daiwa analysts write in a note. The brokerage sees potential for faster-than-expected expansion over the next two years. It also thinks CATL will reach its target of tripling capacity within five years, which will support growth and market-share gains. The company's sodium-ion battery technology is well-suited for AI data-center energy-storage systems, potentially opening a new growth market beyond electric vehicles. Daiwa maintains a buy rating on the stock and raises its target price to 600 yuan from 550 yuan. Shares close at 395.36 yuan. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
