CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (CBAT) reported its second-quarter (Q2) 2025 earnings on July 2, 2025, with the company's CEO, Zhiguang Hu, and CFO, Thierry Li, discussing the results. Despite mixed performance, the company showed signs of recovery with revenue and gross margin improvements compared to the same period last year.
Revenue for Q2 2025 stood at $58.82 million, a notable increase from the $40.52 million reported in Q2 2024, indicating a 45.5% growth in revenue. The company's gross margin for the quarter improved to 26.5%, up from 17.3% in Q2 2024. Net income for the quarter was $1.5 million, a significant turnaround from the $5.5 million net loss in Q2 2024.
The earnings report highlighted higher-than-expected operating expenses, particularly in marketing, selling, and general administrative costs ($5.82 million) and R&D expenses ($2.82 million), which contributed to the earnings miss. However, these expenses reflect strategic investments in product development and market expansion. The company's net interest expense was a small positive figure (-$9,663), and income tax expenses were relatively low at $1.05 million.
The stock market's immediate reaction to the earnings miss was closely monitored. Historical backtest analyses revealed a 66.67% win rate for CBAT's stock rebounding within 30 days post-miss, with cumulative returns increasing from 0.76% at 3 days to as high as 13.23% at 30 days. This suggests a potentially strategic entry point for investors willing to hold through initial post-earnings volatility.
Looking ahead, CBAT’s forward guidance and macroeconomic factors will be key determinants of the company's ability to maintain its earnings momentum. The next earnings report is expected in early Q3 2025.
