"Lithium electricity Shuangjie" semi-annual report on the same day Lithium Industry is approaching the limit and Ganfeng Lithium Industry is up more than 5%.

SMM July 15: on the evening of July 14, Tianqi Lithium Industry and Ganfeng Lithium Industry successively issued announcements to revise their semi-annual performance forecasts.

And it is worth mentioning that Tianqi Lithium Industry has been constantly laying out its high-quality resources. in terms of minerals, Terlison, a subsidiary of Tianqi Lithium Industry, has a lithium oxide grade of 2.1% of Greenbush spodumene ore. According to the announcement issued by IGO, Greenbush's production capacity will reach 1.35 million tons and 1.63 million tons in 2021 and 2022. In the salt lake, the company distributes the high-quality Atacama Salt Lake and China's Zabuye Salt Lake respectively by taking a 20% stake in Xigaze Zabuye and a 25.85% stake in SQM.

As for lithium salt, Tianqi lithium industry will add 48000 tons of lithium hydroxide production line and 20, 000 tons of Suining battery-grade lithium carbonate production line in the future. Overall, the company's lithium production capacity may exceed 110000 tons.

Under the consideration of "mining" and "salt", Everbright Securities expects Tianqi Lithium Industry to return to its mother net profit of 633 million yuan in 2021, an increase of 134.52% over the same period last year. On the same day, Western Securities also released a research report saying that Tianqi Lithium is expected to return to its mother net profit of 639 million yuan in 2021, an increase of 134.85% over the same period last year, maintaining the "overweight" rating.

It is reported that by 2020, the recovery capacity of Ganfeng Lithium Industry decommissioned lithium battery disassembly and metal comprehensive recovery project has reached 34000 tons, the lithium recovery rate is more than 90%, and the comprehensive recovery rate of nickel, cobalt and manganese is more than 98%. At present, Ganfeng cycle is completing the planning of capacity improvement and business development in an orderly manner, and gradually improve the layout of the recycling field.

With the release of the 14th five-year Plan of Circular economy Development Plan by the State Council, strengthening the construction of traceability management platform for power batteries of new energy vehicles and improving the traceability management system for power battery recycling have been incorporated into the national planning, power battery recycling has risen to the national level, and its degree of attention has long been incomparable. In this context, the advance layout of lithium battery recycling Ganfeng lithium industry, the future is worth looking forward to.
