Group 2: Financial Pressures - The lithium battery industry is experiencing structural pressures, including severe overcapacity, intense price competition, accelerated technological iteration, and tight cash flow, pushing companies to seek foreign capital [7][9]. - Many companies are facing deteriorating cash flow, with an average collection period of 103 days and a payment period of 255 days, leading to significant cash flow challenges [8]. - The average debt ratio for some companies exceeded 70% in the first half of 2025, indicating a growing liquidity crisis that necessitates new financing channels [9]. Group 3: Globalization Strategy - The urgent need for a globalization strategy is driving Chinese lithium battery companies to international capital markets, as local production is increasingly required due to geopolitical factors [11][12]. - The construction of localized production facilities in Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America is becoming essential for Chinese companies to integrate into global supply chains and meet local production requirements [11][12]. - The opportunity presented by the slow development of local battery companies in Europe and the U.S. creates a market window for Chinese firms to establish a presence and benefit from substantial local funding [12]. Group 4: Capital Market Changes - The tightening of IPO approvals in the A-share market has led many companies to seek more certain alternatives, such as the Hong Kong market, which offers a more accommodating environment for new listings [14]. - The Hong Kong capital market has shown greater inclusivity and efficiency, with recent regulatory changes aimed at expediting the IPO process for technology companies [14]. - Differences in valuation logic between A-share and Hong Kong markets influence companies' decisions, with Hong Kong investors placing a higher value on global competitiveness and long-term technological barriers [16][17]. Group 5: Strategic Implications - The choice to list in Hong Kong is not merely a response to overcapacity and financing pressures but also a strategic move to align with global capital narratives and enhance brand reputation [18]. - By entering the international capital market, companies can improve governance transparency and brand image, which are crucial for long-term global competitiveness [18].
