Tianqi Earnings: Profit Missed on Weak Lithium Compound Business Amid Price Decline
Narrow-moat Tianqi's third-quarter net profit fell 71% year over year. While year-to-September revenue is in line with our forecast, net profit only makes up 54% of our full-year forecast. The profit miss was mainly due to a decline in lithium product sales and drop in equity income. Despite plunging lithium prices in the quarter, gross margin still managed to stay at around 85%, demonstrating the resilient margin profile of its upstream lithium mining business.
