Zhong Guo Neng Yuan Wang·2025-08-11 01:03Market Performance - The electric equipment and new energy sector increased by 1.94% this week, with wind power rising by 4.05%, industrial automation by 3.53%, power generation equipment by 3.5%, new energy vehicle index by 3.22%, lithium battery index by 2.72%, nuclear power by 2.18%, and photovoltaic by 1.26% [1][3]. New Energy Vehicles - In July, new energy vehicle sales faced slight pressure due to subsidy fund disbursement, but sales are expected to stabilize and recover gradually from August. By 2025, domestic new energy vehicle sales are projected to maintain high growth, driving demand for batteries and materials [2]. - The penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles reached 54.0% in July, an increase of 2.7 percentage points year-on-year [4]. Lithium Battery and Materials - The price of lithium carbonate has risen significantly, which is expected to restore profitability in related sectors. The battery-grade lithium carbonate index price reached 71,961 CNY per ton on August 8, an increase of 1,012 CNY per ton [4]. - Companies are advised to focus on battery and cathode material sectors due to the positive price trends [2]. Solid-State Battery Technology - Funeng Technology has sent samples of sulfide solid-state batteries to leading robotics companies, indicating a clear trend towards industrialization. Future attention should be on the verification progress of solid-state battery-related materials and equipment [2]. Photovoltaic Sector - The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized the need to regulate "involution" competition and promote product quality, guiding companies to exit outdated production capacity. The industry chain prices remained stable this week, with all segments showing a willingness to maintain prices [2]. - The photovoltaic sector's catalyst lies in the actual production capacity release time and scale, with a focus on the silicon material segment and new technology directions [2]. Hydrogen Energy - Continuous policy support is driving the industrialization of hydrogen energy, with pilot projects being launched in the energy sector. Companies with cost and technological advantages in electrolyzer production, as well as those benefiting from hydrogen infrastructure construction, are recommended for attention [2]. Company Highlights - Aiko Solar reported a net profit of -238 million CNY for the first half of 2025, while Huaming Equipment achieved a net profit of 368 million CNY, a year-on-year increase of 17.17% [5]. - Hewei Electric reported a net profit of 242 million CNY for the first half of 2025, up 56.79% year-on-year [5]. - Xianhui Technology signed contracts worth approximately 702 million CNY with CATL and its subsidiaries [5].
