Core Viewpoint - The lithium battery industry is expected to reach a performance turning point in 2025, with many companies reporting improved earnings due to rising prices of key lithium materials and sustained demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors [2][3]. Group 1: Industry Performance - Among 28 lithium battery companies that disclosed earnings forecasts, 11 are expected to see profit increases, and 6 are projected to turn losses into profits, indicating a recovery in the lithium battery materials sector [2]. - Key players in lithium materials, such as lithium carbonate and hexafluorophosphate, have reported significant quarter-on-quarter earnings growth, driven by price increases and ongoing demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage markets [2][3]. Group 2: Price Trends - The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has shown a "V-shaped" recovery, rising from 73,000 yuan/ton to approximately 120,000 yuan/ton, with peaks reaching around 134,000 yuan/ton by the end of 2025 [4]. - The increase in lithium carbonate prices has significantly improved the profitability of lithium salt companies, with major firms like Ganfeng Lithium and Yahua Group reporting substantial profit increases [4][5]. Group 3: Company-Specific Insights - Ganfeng Lithium is expected to turn a profit in 2025, with projected net profits ranging from 1.1 billion to 1.65 billion yuan, compared to a loss of 2.074 billion yuan in the previous year [4]. - Yahua Group anticipates a net profit of 600 million to 680 million yuan in 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 133.36% to 164.47% [4]. - Tianqi Lithium and other suppliers are also expected to report significant profit increases due to rising prices of hexafluorophosphate and lithium carbonate [5]. Group 4: Market Demand and Future Outlook - The demand for energy storage and electric vehicles remains strong, with global energy storage battery shipments expected to reach 640 GWh in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 82.9% [6]. - The continuation of domestic vehicle replacement policies and the resumption of electric vehicle purchase subsidies in Germany are expected to further boost demand [6]. - Analysts suggest that as long as the demand for new energy remains strong, the prices of key upstream products like lithium carbonate are likely to continue rising, leading to a new cycle of prosperity in the industry [7].

Lithium Carbonate Futures Market Data Analysis - **Main contract and basis**: On January 27, 2026, the price of the lithium carbonate main contract was 165,680 yuan/ton, a slight decline of 3,100 yuan/ton or about 1.84% from the previous day. The basis strengthened from -11,020 yuan/ton on January 26, 2026, to 12,820 yuan/ton, an increase of 23,840 yuan/ton [1][31]. - **Open interest and trading volume**: The open interest of the main contract decreased to 416,719 lots, a decrease of 21,909 lots or about 5%. The trading volume increased to 575,675 lots, an increase of 232,870 lots or about 68% [1][32]. *** Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply, Demand, and Inventory Changes - **Supply side**: The prices of spodumene concentrate and lepidolite concentrate remained stable on January 27, 2026, at 19,470 yuan/ton and 8,700 yuan/ton, respectively. However, information indicated that lithium ore prices had increased slightly recently, and overseas mine quotes had risen. The smelter operating rate remained stable at 87.14%, but the reluctance to sell among upstream lithium salt producers had increased, and some manufacturers had hoarded goods, resulting in a weak willingness to sell spot orders. On January 16, 2026, Yahua Group announced the commissioning of its lithium mine project in Zimbabwe, which increased self - sufficiency, but the overall supply increase was limited [2]. - **Demand side**: The prices of downstream cathode materials generally declined. On January 27, 2026, the price of power ternary materials was 188,300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2,000 yuan/ton from the previous day; the price of power lithium iron phosphate was 58,990 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2,185 yuan/ton. Although the prices of some battery cells had increased, the demand for new energy vehicles was weak. According to data from the Passenger Car Association on January 21, 2026, the retail sales from January 1 - 18 decreased by 16% year - on - year, and wholesale sales decreased by 23%. Downstream material manufacturers mainly purchased on demand, and some began to stock up for February, but overall purchases were cautious. Coupled with the cancellation of the export tax rebate policy, the demand side lacked support [2]. - **Inventory and warehouse receipts**: As of January 23, 2026, the lithium carbonate inventory was 108,896 physical tons, a slight decrease of 783 tons or 0.71% from 109,679 physical tons on January 16, 2026, continuing the de - stocking trend [2]. *** Price Trend Judgment In the next one to two weeks, the lithium carbonate futures price is expected to maintain a low - level volatile pattern. The weak demand persists, with the decline in new energy vehicle sales and cautious downstream purchases restricting the upside space. Meanwhile, although the supply side has support from reluctance to sell and inventory de - stocking, the stable lithium ore prices and high capacity utilization rate limit the rebound strength. The overall market may experience increased volatility under the weak supply - demand balance but lacks a breakthrough driver [3].
