[SMM analysis: lithium battery concept stock strengthening Chinese fir stock sealing plate lithium carbonate price is expected to rise slightly in the short term] according to SMM research, most of the domestic lithium salt manufacturers are in full production, and lithium carbonate is in short supply, lithium salt manufacturers are tight, and most of the quotations are higher. However, the rate of increase on the demand side is not as fast as the release rate of production capacity, so the price of lithium carbonate is expected to rise slightly and be stable in the long run.

SMM9 March 15: today, the lithium battery concept stock trend is strong, Shanshan shares, aerospace mechanical and electrical pull up the sealing board, Cixing shares, pilot intelligence, nebula shares rose more than 10%, BYD, Shi Dashenhua rose more than 9%.

According to SMM research, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has shown an overall downward trend since the beginning of the year. As of September 15, the average daily price of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 40, 000 yuan / ton, down 10250 yuan / ton from the peak of 50250 yuan / ton since the beginning of the year. SMM believes that the supply and demand structure of lithium carbonate has improved, mainly due to a sharp drop in imports from Argentina and Chile, where the epidemic is still severe. The number of confirmed cases in one day reached an one-day high on Sept. 10, and imports are expected to remain low in August.

According to SMM research, most of the domestic lithium salt manufacturers are in full production, and lithium carbonate is in short supply. Lithium salt manufacturers are tight in shipments, and most of the quotations are higher at present. However, the rate of increase on the demand side is not as fast as the release rate of production capacity, so the price of lithium carbonate is expected to rise slightly and be stable in the long run.

[SMM Weekly Review] Costs Diverged and Demand Weakened, Second-Life Application Grade B Prices Remained Stable This Week, 2026.02.2-2026.02.5

This week, in the context of the second-life application market, second-life B-grade product prices remained generally stable overall, with no wild swings observed. Cost side, lithium carbonate prices showed a relatively clear downward trend, nickel sulphate prices also edged down slightly, while cobalt sulphate prices remained steady. Supply side, affected by the approaching Chinese New Year holiday, many enterprises have entered the pre-holiday winding-down phase, resulting in an overall weak willingness to sell. Demand side, year-end stockpiling by downstream enterprises has largely been completed, and overall purchasing enthusiasm is currently low, with the pace of restocking slowing down significantly. Among these, the small power sector saw a noticeable contraction in demand due to relevant policy adjustments, while only the ESS sector maintained relatively stable demand, becoming the main support on the demand side. Considering multiple factors such as divergent trends in cost-side products, cautious selling by enterprises on the supply side, and structural adjustments on the demand side, although the overall market trading atmosphere remained subdued and there was a certain time lag in the transmission of raw material price changes to end-users, second-life B-grade product prices continued to maintain a relatively stable pattern this week.
