On June 9, the machinery ETF Cathay Pacific (516960) closed up more than 2%. This performance brought widespread attention to the prosperity of lithium battery equipment and advanced manufacturing.
GF Securities analysis believes that the current industry has entered a new round of leading production expansion and new technology cycles.
Recently, investment in the lithium battery industry chain and energy storage orders have continued to be active, and the industrialization process of new technologies such as solid-state batteries is also accelerating.
The capacity utilization rate of leading battery factories has been at a continuously high level, which means that the existing production lines are operating at close to full capacity and cannot meet the demand for future order growth, so there is an urgent need to expand production.
Against the background of the strong willingness of downstream battery manufacturers to expand production, the growth potential of lithium battery equipment in the new cycle is generally optimistic.
In addition, the rise of new technologies such as solid-state batteries and composite current collectors has brought new growth points to the lithium battery equipment industry.
Lithium battery equipment companies have successfully stepped out of the bottom of the industry and are ushering in new development opportunities.
Taking solid-state batteries as an example, they have higher energy density and safety. Once large-scale industrialization is achieved, it will greatly promote the growth of demand for lithium battery equipment.
Composite current collectors can improve battery performance and safety, and also bring new business directions to lithium battery equipment companies.
In terms of power generation equipment, investment in AI gas power plants has increased, and the industry boom trend has further strengthened.
The CAPEX of major manufacturers remains high, the long-term development trend of global AI remains unchanged, IDC orders will still be gradually released, and the industry prosperity remains upward.
The application of AI technology in power generation equipment not only improves power generation efficiency, but also reduces operating costs, making the development prospects of the power generation equipment industry broader.
