Main products are carbonate lithium, hydroxide lithium, and ore. Aims to sell 50,000 tons of carbonate lithium and achieve 3 - 4 billion yuan in revenue by 2025 [2] - Has a professional futures team, combines spot and futures trading for price risk management. The proportion of long - term contracts has dropped to about 30% [2] - Lithium spodumene processing fee is 18,000 - 20,000 yuan/ton. It has no self - owned mines and relies on package sales or spot purchases. The industry has a consensus on supply surplus, and production costs have decreased [2] - Can match suitable raw materials for downstream customers. The actual demand is not as bad as expected, but the second - quarter direct market purchases were insufficient. Downstream demand is in a negative feedback loop [2][3] University B - Solid - state batteries are not yet mature for commercialization, at a 4 - 5 level on a 1 - 9 scale. It may take 5 - 10 years to achieve results, and lithium consumption may not increase significantly. It may first be applied in the 3C sector [4][5] - Sodium batteries are unlikely to replace lithium batteries but can be a supplement. They can be used in fields with high requirements for charge - discharge speed and output power [5] - Lithium slag can be processed by extracting lithium into brine or solidifying it for construction use [6] Lithium Battery Recycling Enterprise C - Has production bases in Hunan and Zhejiang. Production decreased from 3,000 tons last year to 1,000 tons this year and stopped production since April.

New products are in short supply, and the proportion of high - density products is increasing [10] - Has difficulty accepting exchange - delivered goods due to new downstream requirements. The raw material inventory is normal, and it mainly purchases on - demand. It is optimistic about the annual demand but not about July - August [11] Battery Production Enterprise E - Has a refined operation and management style. The consumption - type products are growing, with a year - on - year increase of over 20%. The current production is almost full, and the downstream demand has increased by about 16% [12] - Believes that the cancellation of mandatory energy storage has limited negative impact. It has overseas energy - storage markets in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa [12] - Plans a 30,000 - ton capacity in Jiangxi. In 2024, the output was about 6,000 tons, and it is expected to be 8,000 tons in 2025.
