Recently, a series of rumors on the Internet such as the Ningde era being sanctioned by the US government, the ChiNext weight index being excluded, and the price negotiation with Tesla have collapsed, which has aroused widespread concern. In this regard, CATL has reported the case to the public security organs on February 12, and will pursue the legal responsibility of the rumor-mongers according to law.
Last week, the stock price of CATL continued to fall, with a cumulative decline of about 17.32%, and the market value evaporated by nearly 230 billion yuan.
Taking February 10 as an example, CATL once again fell sharply in the A-share market, falling more than 8% to 500 yuan per share during the session, and the stock price hit a new low since October last year. As of the noon close, CATL fell 7.9% to close at 503.99 yuan, with a half-day turnover of 9.25 billion yuan and a total market value of 1.17 trillion yuan. As of the afternoon close, the stock price of CATL closed at 518.10 yuan, slightly warmer than the noon close, but it still fell by 5.32% compared with the opening in the morning, and the cumulative turnover of the whole day reached 14.960 billion.
As the stock price moved, false rumors began to appear on the Internet, and CATL immediately issued the above official announcement in response to the rumors.
CATL's 2021 annual performance forecast shows that the company expects that the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies will reach 14 billion yuan - 16.5 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 150.75% - 195.52% year-on-year, if the forecast can be realized, this will be the highest profit level that CATL can achieve since its listing in 2018.
