Goldman Sachs initiates CATL stock with buy rating on EV growth

Investing.com - Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (HK:3750) with a buy rating and a price target of HK$343.00 on Wednesday.

The investment bank cited CATL’s underappreciated battery profitability and market position as key factors in its bullish outlook. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 25% earnings per share compound annual growth rate for CATL from 2024 to 2030, driven by a 22% volume compound annual growth rate and a 1% unit gross profit expansion.

Goldman Sachs’ earnings estimates for 2025-2027 stand 5%, 14%, and 11% above Visible Alpha consensus, reflecting confidence in the company’s growth trajectory. The firm expects CATL to benefit from global electrification trends while maintaining resilient market share.

The HK$343 price target implies a 16% upside potential for CATL’s Hong Kong-listed shares. This valuation represents 2025-2027 price-to-earnings ratios of 21x, 16x, and 14x, compared to the company’s historical average of 30x.

For CATL’s A-shares, Goldman Sachs set a 12-month price target of Rmb323, suggesting a potential 35% upside from current levels. The firm’s positive outlook is based on CATL’s improving battery product mix and strong positioning in the electric vehicle supply chain.
