Insights
CBAK Energy reports significant revenue declines amid strategic product transition; expects recovery when new battery models reach mass production.
CBAK Energy's Q2 2025 results reveal concerning financial trends with
The battery segment performance is particularly troubling, with Q2 revenue plummeting
The primary driver behind this decline is a strategic product portfolio shift at the company's Dalian facilities, transitioning from Model 26650 to Model 40135 batteries. This transition has created a temporary vacuum in the revenue stream as customers are still in the validation phase for the new model. Meanwhile, the company's Nanjing facilities are operating at full capacity for Model 32140 production, with expansion plans delayed until Q4.
From a segment perspective, the residential energy supply sector (which represents the vast majority of CBAK's battery revenue) saw a steep
Management's outlook hinges entirely on the successful mass production of Model 40135 beginning in September and the completion of Phase II expansion for Model 32140 by year-end. They've indicated some positive customer feedback on the new models and mentioned pending agreements with "internationally renowned customers," though specific names weren't disclosed.
The financial deterioration appears to be primarily transitional rather than structural, but investors should closely monitor whether the promised Q4 recovery materializes as the company navigates this challenging product transition period.

Zhiguang Hu, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “As noted in our Q1 earnings, this year marks a strategic transition in battery models at our key manufacturing base. Our Dalian facilities are scheduled to begin mass production of Model 40135 in September, with customers already testing and validating the product and providing highly positive feedback. We expect a gradual recovery at Dalian beginning in Q4. Meanwhile, the completion of Phase II expansion for Model 32140 at our Nanjing facilities has been postponed to Q4. At present, customers at Dalian are transitioning to Model 40135, while capacity at Nanjing is fully booked, necessitating further expansion to meet demand. Once Model 40135 enters mass production in Dalian and the additional Model 32140 capacity in Nanjing comes online by year-end, we anticipate a strong rebound in production and sales.�
Jiewei Li, Director and Chief Financial Officer, added, “The performance of our battery segment has historically been strong, but this year we are undergoing a strategic upgrade to our product portfolio—introducing Model 40135—while also facing significantly higher-than-expected demand for our most popular model, the Model 32140. As Mr. Hu noted, we are confident that our financial performance will experience a gradual and solid recovery in the near term. We are also close to finalizing agreements with several internationally renowned customers. Our customer base is highly global, including leading players such as top-five manufacturers in India’s two- and three-wheeler market, top-five companies in the portable power bank sector, and other major names in the energy storage industry. As always, we will try our best to seek customer consent and announce these names and agreements to ensure transparency for our shareholders. We are working hard to ensure our shareholders and investors that we are a fast-growing company with a solid customer structure and a strong commitment to future growth.�
