Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent developments surrounding Maitian Energy Co., Ltd.'s IPO process, highlighting internal shareholder disputes and the company's reliance on strategic backing from the "Qingshan System" [1][5]. Group 1: Shareholder Disputes - Maitian Energy's IPO has faced unusual opposition from shareholders, particularly from five funds under Chaoxi Capital, which voted against the listing proposal, while two funds supported it [2][3]. - The dissenting shareholders hold a total of 817,470 shares, representing 2.27% of the pre-IPO capital, indicating a significant internal division within the investment group [3]. - The valuation discrepancy is notable, as the dissenting shareholders invested at a valuation of 14.887 billion yuan, while the post-IPO valuation is projected to be under 10 billion yuan, leading to conflicts of interest [4]. Group 2: Strategic Support from Qingshan System - Maitian Energy has received substantial strategic investment from Yongqing Technology Group, part of the Qingshan Holding Group, which is a major player in the stainless steel and nickel manufacturing industry [5][7]. - The company has relied on financial support from its strategic backers, with outstanding debts to Yongqing Technology and Qingshan Holding amounting to 183.577 million yuan and 549.2 million yuan, respectively, as of early 2023 [6]. - Qingshan's support extends beyond financial backing, as its subsidiary, Ruipu Lanjun, is a key supplier for Maitian Energy, providing essential components for its products [7][9]. Group 3: Production Capacity and Financial Performance - Maitian Energy's revenue has shown steady growth, with figures of approximately 2.486 billion yuan, 2.9 billion yuan, and 3.392 billion yuan over the past three years, but net profit has fluctuated, with a notable decline of 25.01% in 2023 [10][12]. - The company plans to use IPO proceeds of approximately 1.661 billion yuan for various projects, including a new smart energy storage product facility, which will significantly increase its production capacity [11][12]. - However, the company faces challenges with production utilization rates and inventory management, as evidenced by declining utilization rates for both energy storage batteries and inverters, which raises concerns about future capacity absorption [12][13].
