SMM5, March 15: after the difficult car market in 2019, the market has a more optimistic expectation for the sales of new energy vehicles in 2020, but the New Crown virus at the beginning of 2020 has completely changed the market expectations for 2020 and the new energy vehicle market in the first quarter. Especially in February, when the epidemic gradually reached its peak, the new energy vehicle market was completely dumb, and most enterprises sold only a few hundred cars. A small number of enterprises and even a car has not been sold, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic has brought a huge impact on the market. Due to the rare negative GDP growth in the first quarter of the epidemic, macroeconomic pessimism also limits the consumption vitality of the market. Most listed companies also dragged down the economy because of the epidemic, resulting in poor performance in the first quarter. Next, let's take an inventory of some of the leaders in the cobalt-lithium new energy industry chain in the first quarter and the situation.

First, the resumption of work and production has been promoted in a down-to-earth manner, and the expectations of enterprises have improved to a certain extent on a month-on-month basis. Second, production demand gradually improved, with industrial production at or above the scale up 3.9% year-on-year, from a 1.1% decline last month to an increase. Third, the trend of transformation and upgrading continues, from January to April, new formats and models related to the Internet continue to maintain counter-trend growth. Fourth, employment prices were generally stable. The unemployment rate surveyed in cities and towns for the month was 6.0%, up 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, and the fluctuation between months was relatively small. Prices maintained a steady decline, and CPI for the month was 1 percentage point lower than that of the previous month.

In addition, when asked whether China's economy could stabilize in the second quarter, Liu Aihua said that we have the confidence, confidence and challenges in the future economic trend. The strength comes from our long-term accumulation of a complete industrial system, increasingly perfect infrastructure, and a large market scale. Confidence comes from the overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic development since the outbreak of a series of policies and measures have achieved positive results. It is true that the momentum of the spread of the epidemic outside the country has not been effectively controlled, and the impact of the epidemic on the global economy is still in a complex process of development and evolution.

With the gradual recovery of the economy and the weakening of macroeconomic downward pressure, automobile consumption will gradually expand in the future, which will also help listed companies to return to normal in the second quarter, so as to continuously improve the operating efficiency of enterprises.
