TF Securities views that the price of lithium salt at present is on a par with that in Q1, and expects the business profit will increase in Q2 seeing that increasing production of lithium salt has been an incentive. During Jan. to Apr. this year, the total amount of manufacturing domestic new energy autos is 96 thousand while it will exceed 800 thousand by the end of 2017. For Q3 and Q4, more than 100 thousand set of autos are expected to produce. Fueled by new energy auto market, the demand for lithium salt may probably burst out particularly under such powerful market. While the supply of lithium salt fails to meet the demand, its price is much likely to soar.

DFD New Energy achieved operating income in Q1 of RMB677 million and net profit of RMB69 million,which are respectively with year-on-year growth of 25.24% and decrease of 38.40%. In the second half of 2017, as there are additional 3,000 ton LiPF_6 being produced by the company. Moreover, DFD New Energy has managed to tap into lithium and new energy sector since from 2016. And they clinched victories in both fields while the operating income of lithium battery and new energy vehicles industries in 2016 were 294 million and 6.63 million yuan. And in 2017, they are planned to speed up the business project and make new contributions to profit.
