CBAK Energy Expects Robust Year-End Rebound with New Battery Production Lines and Nanjing Expansion Approaching Completion
Management Transition: CBAK Energy is shifting production from the Model 26650 battery to the larger Model 40135, causing a decline in revenues and profits at their Dalian facility. The Nanjing facility faces supply constraints due to high demand for model 32140 cells, with expansion delays impacting order fulfillment.
Financial Performance: The company reported net revenue of $40.52 million for Q2 2025, down 15% year-over-year, primarily due to a 44.8% drop in residential energy storage sales. Net losses attributable to shareholders were $3.07 million.
Strategic Initiatives: Plans for overseas manufacturing have been paused amid U.S.-China trade negotiations, while management remains focused on expanding market share in Europe, America, and India, particularly in the portable power supply sector.
Outlook and Risks: Management anticipates a recovery by year-end as new production lines come online, but faces challenges such as operational delays, capital constraints for future projects, and a significant decline in the residential energy storage segment.
