这一交易发生的时间点，正值公司业绩加速下滑的敏感时期。公司前三季度营业总收入为89.86亿元， 同比下降20.64%，归母净利润-2.04亿元，而去年同期盈利1.16亿元。其中，第三季度营收同比下降 38.29%，归母净利润-1.35亿元，亏损环比增幅达155%。曾经的高增长神话终结，取而代之的是营收与 利润的全面下滑。 容百科技在财报中将业绩下滑归因于"国内市场竞争加剧、国际政治经济形势变化等多重因素影响"。这 些外部环境变化导致销量下滑，产能闲置，单位产品分摊的固定成本上升。 毛利率的恶化趋势更为明显。2025年前三季度，公司毛利率为7.28%，同比减少20.05个百分点。第三季 度单季情况更加糟糕，毛利率已降至4.35%。 日前，全球三元正极材料龙头企业容百科技发布公告，拟使用约3.42亿元收购贵州新仁新能源科技有限 公司约54.97%股份，并追加1.4亿元增资，交易总金额达4.8亿元。交易完成后，容百科技将持有贵州新 仁93.20%股权，后者成为控股子公司并纳入合并报表范围。 容百科技此次收购发生在行业整体"寒冬"背景下。2025年上半年，中国锂电正极材料行业平均产能利用 率仅约50%，行业整体面临产 ...
