Contemporary Amperex Technology stock gained 3.84 percent to CNY 297.75 on October 9, 2026, after CATL repurchased 697,800 A-shares for RMB 200 million on October 8. Futu reported that the shares were bought through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and are intended for cancellation.

Three milestones shape the story

On July 24, 2026, CATL reported first-half revenue of RMB 276.92 billion, up 54.80 percent year over year, while attributable net profit rose 41.98 percent to RMB 43.28 billion, according to Stock Sentinel.

On September 22, 2026, CATL began trial production at its Debrecen cell plant in Hungary. The facility is planned to reach 100 GWh of annual capacity, with the first phase designed for 34 GWh, CATL said.

On October 8, 2026, the company added the RMB 200 million repurchase to that operating expansion story. The cancellation plan could reduce the share count, but the transaction itself represents only 697,800 shares.

What does the buyback change?

The immediate signal is capital allocation rather than a new operating forecast. CATL's market capitalization was CNY 1.3 trillion on October 9, 2026, so the reported RMB 200 million purchase equals 0.02 percent of that value.

The operating comparison remains more substantial: first-half revenue increased 54.80 percent year over year, while first-half attributable net profit increased 41.98 percent. The figures show faster revenue growth than profit growth, making margins and the next results release important reference points.

Results date comes next

CATL's third-quarter 2026 results are scheduled for October 20, 2026, according to Zhitong Finance. A further results date shown for the company is November 23, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Contemporary Amperex Technology stock was last at CNY 297.75 on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on October 9, 2026 at 3:04 p.m. CST, up 3.84 percent from the prior close of CNY 286.75. The quoted 52-week range was CNY 285.17 to CNY 468.75, placing the latest price 36.49 percent below the high.
