Yuneng lifts LFP prices, posts 853% profit jump, plans 24bn yuan expansion

Price hike on all LFP products Yuneng told customers it will raise all lithium iron phosphate prices by 2,000 yuan per tonne from August 1, because raw material iron phosphate costs jumped over 50% and its plants are running full. If customers accept, this protects profit margins; if they refuse, the standoff could cap gains.
The price hike directly affects Yuneng's revenue and margin, the core earnings driver.
First-half net profit up 853.51% Yuneng reported first-half revenue of 34.88 billion yuan, up 142.92%, and net profit of 2.91 billion yuan, up 853.51%, with phosphate cathode material sales up 38.77% to 667,200 tonnes. This confirms strong demand and real earnings power, supporting the stock.
The earnings report is the clearest evidence of how much money Yuneng is actually making.
24 billion yuan mining-integrated project Yuneng plans to spend about 24 billion yuan over five years on a Guizhou project covering 800,000 tonnes of LFP, 1 million tonnes of iron phosphate, and upstream mining and recycling. It aims to lock in cheap raw materials and cut costs, but the huge outlay and long timeline carry funding and demand risks.
This is the biggest strategic bet in the period, shaping Yuneng's cost position and risk profile for years.
Industry cost pass-through pressure building Other cathode makers like Fulin Precision are also negotiating price increases with customers, as rising raw material costs squeeze the whole sector. This supports the idea that Yuneng's hike is part of an industry-wide trend, not a one-off, though battery makers' limited acceptance remains a counterweight.
It shows whether Yuneng's price move is sustainable or isolated, which matters for future margins.

ABB raises outlook on record orders, buys Rotork, invests in grid capacity

Q2 orders surge 30%, profit up 7%, 2026 revenue outlook raised ABB's second-quarter orders jumped 30% to $12.0 billion and net income rose 7% to $1.23 billion. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to low double-digit to low-teens, a direct sign that demand for ABB's electrification and automation products is stronger than expected, which supports a higher share price.
This is the single biggest new fundamental driver of ABB's value this period.
ABB to buy Rotork for $5.5 billion, funded partly by Robotics sale ABB agreed to acquire UK actuator maker Rotork for about $5.5 billion, a 60% premium, to expand its automation business. The deal will be paid for with cash and roughly $4.8 billion from selling its Robotics unit to SoftBank. Buying a quality business at a high price is a long-term positive, but the premium and integration risk create some uncertainty for the share price.
This is a major strategic move that reshapes ABB's portfolio and affects its balance sheet.
ABB invests $200 million to expand European medium-voltage manufacturing ABB announced a $200 million investment across Europe, including a new $100 million plant in Italy, to boost production of medium-voltage electrical equipment. This capacity expansion positions ABB to capture rising demand from battery storage and grid projects across Europe, supporting future revenue growth.
It shows ABB is investing to meet the electrification demand that is driving its orders.
ABB invests in Gridcog to scale energy project modeling software ABB made a minority investment in UK startup Gridcog, whose software helps design and compare renewable and microgrid projects. This strengthens ABB's advisory and digital services for commercial and industrial customers, adding a higher-margin software layer to its electrification offerings and supporting long-term growth.
It highlights ABB's push into digital and software services that complement its hardware business.
