Name sheetCATL

Why it mattersEnergy sets duty cycle and payload; component economics are more likely to accrue to scaled battery suppliers than to the robot OEMs themselves.

为何重要能量决定占空比与载荷；零部件层面的经济性更可能归于规模化电池供应商，而非机器人 OEM 本身。

Caveat

FY2025 revenue RMB 423.7bn, net profit RMB 72.2bn and operating cash flow RMB 133.2bn, driven by EV and storage. The robotics business must not be valued, and the reason is now stronger rather than weaker.

In June 2026 CATL and Galbot signed a global strategic cooperation agreement, and CATL states that the Galbot S1 (which it describes as the first humanoid in regular operation powered by CATL batteries, with a 50 kg dual-arm payload and a claimed up to eight hours of continuous operation) is deployed inside a CATL cell plant; earlier, CATL commissioned a humanoid-enabled battery-pack line in Luoyang using 'Xiaomo', built by Spirit AI. CATL is therefore simultaneously the cell supplier, the deployment site and the commercialisation partner, and the duty-cycle claim is a supplier's claim about its own cell in its own building.

No robotics revenue, order value, unit count or segment disclosure exists. The H1 2026 interim is due by 2026-08-31.

风险提示

FY2025 收入 4,237 亿元，净利 722 亿元，经营性现金流 1,332 亿元，由电动车与储能驱动。机器人业务不得估值，且这一理由现在只强不弱。

2026 年 6 月，宁德时代与银河通用签署全球战略合作协议；宁德时代称 Galbot S1 已部署于其自有电芯工厂；该机型被描述为首个由宁德时代电池驱动、进入常态化作业的人形机器人，双臂负载 50 公斤，宣称可连续工作最长 8 小时。更早前，宁德时代在洛阳投用了一条由人形机器人参与的电池包产线，所用机器人 “Xiaomo” 由千寻智能开发。

因此宁德时代同时是电芯供应商、部署场地与商业化伙伴；而那条工作时长的说法，是供应商在自己厂房里对自己电芯给出的说法。不存在任何机器人收入、订单金额、台数或分部披露。

2026 年半年报应于 2026-08-31 前披露。

COMPANY RESEARCH公司研究 Commercial evidence商业证据 Expand +展开 + Collapse −收起 −

Commercial evidence shows how far a company has moved from a product claim to repeatable customer value. We look for a defined customer task, paid deployment, operating results, the human help required, and economics that can support repeat use. Missing information stays unassessed; it does not count as evidence against the company.商业证据用于判断一家公司从产品宣称走到了可重复客户价值的哪一步。我们关注明确的客户任务、付费部署、运行结果、所需人工协助，以及能否支持重复采用的经济性。缺失信息保持未评估，不会被当作对公司的负面证据。 Each item below applies only to the cited document and period. It should be read with its evidence class, review date, and stated limits.以下每项内容仅适用于所引文件与期间，阅读时应同时考虑证据类别、核查日期与已说明的局限。
