However, net profit declined significantly from 3.89 billion yuan in 2021 to 420 million yuan in 2024 due to falling cobalt prices [7][8]. - The stock price peaked at 114.72 yuan per share in July 2021, with a market cap nearing 170 billion yuan, but subsequently fell over 40% by the end of 2022 and continued to decline into 2024, reaching a low of 3.64 billion yuan in July 2024 [8][9].

Challenges Ahead - Despite the revenue growth, Huayou Cobalt faces the challenge of "increasing revenue without increasing profit," highlighting its dependence on upstream resource prices, which poses a risk to its future development [22].
