Lopal swings to profit, wins long-term orders, rides solid-state battery policy

LFP price hike talks could lift revenue Lopal and other lithium iron phosphate makers are discussing raising prices by 1,000–2,000 yuan per tonne to cover higher raw material costs. If accepted by battery makers, this would directly boost Lopal's revenue per tonne. However, battery makers have not yet agreed, so the benefit is not guaranteed.
This is a new pricing catalyst that could improve Lopal's profitability if the industry-wide hike goes through.
LG Energy Solution deal secures demand Lopal signed a continuing connected transaction agreement with LG Energy Solution, a major battery maker and shareholder in its Indonesian subsidiary. This locks in procurement and sales volumes through 2028, giving Lopal a stable, predictable customer and reducing demand uncertainty.
This new agreement strengthens Lopal's order book and revenue visibility with a top-tier battery customer.
1.4 billion yuan injection for cathode projects Lopal will inject 1.4 billion yuan from its private placement into a subsidiary to fund two large cathode material projects. This expands production capacity, which should support future sales growth. The funding is already raised, so it does not add new debt pressure.
This capital deployment directly expands Lopal's core cathode material capacity, a key driver of future earnings.
First-half profit swing and strong shipment growth Lopal swung to a 421 million yuan net profit in the first half from a loss last year, with revenue nearly doubling. Cathode material shipments rose 59% on strong EV demand. This shows the core business is growing fast and becoming profitable.
The interim report confirms a sharp turnaround in profitability and volume growth, a major positive for the stock.
Negative operating cash flow and high debt raise caution Despite the profit, Lopal's operating cash flow was negative 2.5 billion yuan, and its debt ratio is 76.2%. This means the company is using cash heavily to fund growth, which could strain finances if demand slows. Investors should watch this as a risk.
This is a real counterweight: strong profits but weak cash generation and high leverage could pressure the stock if not managed.
Solid-state battery policy boosts Lopal's precursor China's new battery industry plan targets solid-state battery use by 2030. Lopal's D392 solid-state precursor is highlighted, sending its shares limit-up. This positions Lopal in a high-growth future technology, attracting investor interest and potentially new orders.
Government policy backing solid-state batteries directly benefits Lopal's product, driving a sharp stock reaction and future demand prospects.
Major five-year supply deal with Geely unit Lopal signed a five-year framework to supply up to 567,800 tonnes of LFP cathode material to Jiyangtongxing, Geely's battery arm. This is a large, concrete order that secures long-term demand. It follows other big deals, reinforcing Lopal's growing order book.
This new long-term contract with a major automaker's battery unit significantly boosts Lopal's future revenue visibility.

Q3 20261 Aug – 20 Aug 2026

Profit surge offset by disclosure penalty and battery rule change

Interim profit up nearly 9-fold Do-Fluoride's first-half 2026 net profit hit 512 million yuan, up 897% from a year earlier, on revenue up 62.6% and operating cash flow up over 1,000%. This is the core force lifting the stock: the business is earning far more than before.
The earnings surge is the main fundamental force behind the stock and the clearest reason for positive price pressure.
Exchange rebuke over omitted disclosure The Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued a regulatory letter because Do-Fluoride touted its semiconductor-grade hydrofluoric acid business without saying it was under 2% of sales and immaterial to profit. This hurts trust and can weigh on the shares.
A regulatory penalty directly tied to the company is a real counterweight to the strong earnings and can pressure the stock.
Removed from battery compliance list Beijing scrapped the retired power-battery reuse rule and dropped over 100 firms, including Do-Fluoride, from its compliance list, citing substandard products. This clouds part of its battery-recycling business and favors stronger, better-capitalized rivals.
The delisting is a company-specific regulatory setback that could reduce a business line's prospects and weigh on sentiment.
