Core Viewpoint - JunDa Co., Ltd. (002865.SZ), the first domestic "A+H" listed photovoltaic cell company, is facing significant challenges in the Hong Kong stock market, with its stock price declining sharply after an initial high, leading to a historical loss in both 2024 and the first quarter of this year [1][2]. Financial Performance - The company experienced a revenue of 99.52 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year decline of 46.66%, and a net profit loss of 5.91 billion yuan, a decrease of 172.47% [4][5]. - In the first quarter of this year, JunDa reported a revenue of 18.75 billion yuan, down 49.52% year-on-year, with a net profit loss of 1.06 billion yuan, marking a 636.04% increase in losses compared to the previous year [5][6]. - The company's revenue from photovoltaic cells was 9.92 billion yuan, with a gross margin of only 0.48%, reflecting a 46.73% decline in revenue and a 14.21 percentage point drop in gross margin year-on-year [6][8]. Market Position and Challenges - JunDa's stock price fell below the initial public offering price of 22.15 HKD per share shortly after listing, with a significant drop of 12.86% on the day it was included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect [2][3]. - The company is heavily reliant on a single product line, with 99.72% of its revenue coming from battery cells, which limits its business diversification [9][10]. - The trend of industry integration is impacting JunDa's market position, as major integrated manufacturers are increasingly self-sufficient in battery production, reducing the demand for third-party battery suppliers [10][12].

Customer Dependency - JunDa's customer base is becoming less stable, with the revenue contribution from its top five customers dropping from 52.45% in 2023 to 41.3% in 2024, indicating a decline in customer loyalty [10][11]. - The largest customer’s revenue share decreased from 27.73% to 19.01%, reflecting a significant shift in the company's customer dynamics [11].
