Shares of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) (SZ:300750), the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer and a major supplier to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), jumped sharply on Tuesday following impressive third-quarter financial results. The Chinese battery giant reported a 41% year-on-year surge in Q3 net profit, reaching 18.55 billion yuan ($2.61 billion), fueled by rising EV demand and effective cost management.
CATL’s revenue climbed 13% during the quarter to 104.19 billion yuan, according to an exchange filing released on Monday. The positive earnings performance drove investor optimism, sending Hong Kong-listed shares (HK:3750) up as much as 5.8% to HK$558.5, while Shenzhen-listed shares gained over 3% to 378.68 yuan in early Tuesday trading.
The battery maker’s continued growth reflects its dominant market position in the global EV supply chain. For the first nine months of 2025, CATL’s net profit rose 36% to 49.03 billion yuan, supported by strong sales in the electric vehicle sector and expanding demand for energy storage systems. Additionally, operating cash flow improved nearly 20%, reaching 80.66 billion yuan, highlighting efficient financial and operational management.
CATL’s success comes amid the rapid global transition toward sustainable mobility and renewable energy. With automakers worldwide increasing production of electric vehicles, demand for advanced, high-performance batteries remains strong. The company’s strategic focus on technological innovation, supply chain optimization, and cost control continues to strengthen its competitive edge in the EV battery industry.
As the global push for green transportation accelerates, CATL’s financial momentum and market leadership position it well for continued growth and expansion in both electric mobility and energy storage markets.
