Zenergy Experiences a Financial Deficit Due to the Expanding Economies of Scale
In a remarkable turn of events, Jiangsu Zenergy Battery Technologies Group Co. Ltd. (3677.HK) has reported a significant profit turnaround for the first half of 2025, with expectations of a net profit ranging between RMB 198 million and RMB 243 million[1][2][4]. This marks a stark contrast to the net loss of RMB 130 million in the same period last year.
The main reasons for this profit increase are rising sales driven by increased shipments of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, improved operational efficiency, and the achievement of economies of scale, which contributed to higher gross margins and a significantly lower expense ratio year-on-year[1][2].
As a result, Jiangsu Zenergy's share price has responded positively. Its shares opened higher following the announcement and gained 0.76% to HK$10.66 in early trading, marking a 29% increase from its IPO price of HK$8.27 in April 2025[1]. This investor confidence reflects market optimism about the company’s robust growth prospects in the EV battery sector.
Additional details suggest the company’s net profit for June 2025 specifically is expected to be strong, contributing to an increased net profit range of RMB 328 million to RMB 373 million for the reporting period, although this figure appears to extend beyond the first half and may refer to broader periods or projections[3].
The company's success in the battery sector is associated with the growing market for lithium and new energy technologies. Improving efficiency of the company's operations and achieving economies of scale have also boosted its gross margin for the first half of the year, resulting in a significant decrease in its expense ratio year-on-year.
