Reason
Citi Research's analyst rating is based on the belief that the recent upswing in the battery supply chain, driven by strong expectations for energy storage systems (ESS), has largely been accounted for in the market. They advise investors to maintain a cautiously optimistic stance ahead of the Lunar New Year (LNY) and recommend selecting defensive stocks like CATL due to potential uncertainties in production pipeline prospects caused by seasonality and weak demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the first quarter of 2026.
