CATL Retains Top-Pick Status After Results -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-18

0411 GMT - CATL still looks attractive to Citi Research despite its nearly 10% annual revenue drop, as net profit rose 15% and core net profit increased 12%, both in line with the EV battery maker's guidance. Citi also thinks battery prices have troughed and will trend higher in 2025, albeit more modestly than in the previous cycle. In a note, analysts led by Jimmy Feng lower their 2025 and 2026 earnings forecasts for the Chinese battery giant by 4% and 3%, respectively, to factor in reduced assumptions for profit per unit. Citi rates the stock as a buy with a target price of CNY362. It recommends bottom-fishing higher-quality names with attractive value, maintaining CATL as its top pick. The stock is down nearly 4% year to date and are last at CNY256.24. (farah.elias@wsj.com)
