High prosperity and high growth: Energy storage is entering the traditional seasonal peak, with March production hitting new highs. Industry supply and demand are tightening, and leading companies continue to outperform expectations. From a full-year perspective, supported by domestic and international policies (such as national volume-based electricity pricing and overseas household storage subsidies), various energy storage profit levels are prominent, and demand is accelerating.

Outstanding thematic value and low valuation: Under geopolitical conflicts, global attention to energy security has significantly increased. Energy storage offers the value of distributed deployment, relies less on resource endowment, and has a higher survival probability during conflicts. Currently, among global energy security-related thematic assets, energy storage is one of the undervalued sectors, with leading PE ratios just above 20x. Amid a backdrop of 20%-40% earnings growth, current valuations remain relatively low.

Dampening factors have eased: Since the beginning of this year, the sector’s sluggish performance was mainly due to rapid lithium carbonate price increases. Currently, lithium carbonate prices have fallen back, and leading industry chain companies’ performance and profitability have exceeded market expectations. Industry prices are relatively stable, and dampening factors are diminishing.
