According to Zhitong Finance App News, Tianqi Lithium (09696) announced that the group expects to obtain net profit attributable to the company's shareholders in the first nine months of 2026 of 5.1 billion yuan to 6 billion yuan, an increase of about 2,734.97% to 3,235.26%; net profit after deducting non-recurring profit and loss is about 5.03 billion yuan - 5.93 billion yuan, an increase of about 6,957.09% to 8,219.79%; the profit range per share is expected to be 3.00 yuan to 3.53 billion yuan.
The board of directors believes that the main reason for the change in performance during the reporting period is that the company expects a sharp increase in revenue during the reporting period compared to the same period last year, driven by multiple favorable factors such as the development of the new energy industry and the increase in downstream demand. The average sales price of the company's major lithium products increased significantly during the reporting period compared to the same period last year. As of the date of this announcement, Sociedad Químicay Minerade Chile S.A. (SQM), an important affiliate of the company, has yet to announce its results report for the third quarter of 2026. The company comprehensively considers the reliable information it can obtain, and uses a consistent method to calculate the company's investment income in SQM for the same period based on information such as SQM's earnings per share for the third quarter of 2026 predicted by Bloomberg (Bloomberg). According to the foregoing forecast data, combined with SQM's disclosed results for the first three quarters of 2026, SQM's results for the first three quarters of 2026 are expected to increase significantly year-on-year, so the company's confirmed investment income in this associated company during this reporting period has increased significantly compared to the same period last year.
