Contemporary Amperex Technology (CNE100003662) increased third-quarter revenue 58.60 percent year over year to CNY 165.22 billion, while analysts expected stronger earnings growth, Reuters reported on October 20, 2026.

Revenue grows but margins tighten

The revenue figure shows continued scale, but the earnings mix was less supportive. Morningstar reported on October 21, 2026 that third-quarter net profit rose 14.50 percent to CNY 21.25 billion, while gross margin fell to 19.30 percent. The margin pressure reflected product mix and higher tax costs.

Stock rebounds from October 22

The Shenzhen-listed stock gained 7.80 percent on October 23, 2026 from the previous close of CNY 220.41. Its 52-week range was CNY 216.51 to CNY 468.75, placing the latest price CNY 231.15 below the high and CNY 21.09 above the low. The price also remained 49.34 percent below the 52-week high.

Valuation remains below peers

Contemporary Amperex Technology had a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.37 and a market capitalization of CNY 1.0 trillion as of October 23, 2026. The comparison is useful because the battery market is pricing different growth and margin profiles across Asian manufacturers.

Comparison with peers

Contemporary Amperex Technology: up 7.80 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 12.37, market capitalization CNY 1.0 trillion.

BYD Company Limited (Hong Kong Stock Exchange, HKD): up 6.23 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 25.21, market capitalization HKD 652.8 billion.

LG Energy Solution (Korea Exchange, KRW): down 1.79 percent, price-to-earnings ratio minus 47.11, market capitalization KRW 89.6 trillion.

What matters for the margin

The key investor question is whether higher battery prices can offset tax and product-mix pressure. CATL's third-quarter revenue growth of 58.60 percent exceeded its 14.50 percent profit growth, leaving the 19.30 percent gross margin as the clearest operating counterpoint.

Stock price and company profile

Contemporary Amperex Technology is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under ticker 300750 and develops batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage. Its 185,839 employees and CNY 1.0 trillion market capitalization place it among the largest listed battery manufacturers.
