Core Viewpoint - The company, Xingyuan Material, is facing dual challenges of cyclical adjustments and technological transformation in the lithium battery separator industry, which is transitioning from rapid growth to rational competition. Financial deterioration, concerns over overseas expansion, and uncertainties surrounding solid-state battery technology are revealing deep-seated risks for the company [1]. Financial Performance - The company's gross margin is projected to drop sharply from 45.57% in 2022 to 28.07% in 2024, with further decline to 26.50% in the first half of 2025, nearing the industry's breakeven point [2]. - Revenue is expected to grow by 17.5% to 3.506 billion yuan in 2024, but net profit is forecasted to decline by 36.9% to 371 million yuan.

New Business Ventures - In addition to its core business, the company is exploring semiconductor materials and electronic skin technologies, but these new ventures have long cultivation periods and may not provide immediate financial relief amid current pressures [7]. - The semiconductor materials sector is characterized by high technical barriers and lengthy certification processes, while the electronic skin market is still in its infancy, with significant uncertainties regarding market size and technology alignment [7]. Strategic Outlook - The company is at a crossroads, needing to navigate the cyclical downturn in its traditional business while pursuing technological breakthroughs in solid-state batteries and new materials. The heavy debt burden and the uncertain progress of new ventures pose significant challenges to its future [8].
