○ CAAM expects vehicles sales up 7 pct in 2015, securities companies rosy about revaluation in vehicle industry
According to the statistics released by China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) on Jan. 12, the output and sales of vehicles in China both surpassed 23 million units in 2014, ranking first globally for six consecutive years. CAAM estimates that the sales of vehicles will reach 25.13 million units this year, increasing 7 percent year on year. The sales of passenger vehicles will increase 8 percent while the commercial vehicles will grow 2.4 percent.
Comment: Many securities companies believe that the vehicle industry is still booming with low risks and valuation. Flagship enterprises in the industry are likely to be further revalued. Besides, the complete vehicle industry is dominated by central and state-owned enterprises, which are priorities in the SOEs reform and will benefit from the positive changes from this round of SOEs reform. Among the enterprises, the sales of Envision SUV, a new product of SAIC Motor Corporation Limited (600104.SH), reached more than 10,000 last Dec. and its contribution to the profit is likely to surpass the estimation in 2015. The hot sale of SUVs of Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd. (600418.SH) boosted the sale of the company up 26 percent in last Dec. and the company will record high performance growth in 2015. With the implementation of three strategies including neutralization and internationalization, Huayu Automotive Systems Company Limited (600741.SH) has greatly reduced its dependence on its substantial shareholders.
 
◆ New energy vehicles output hike, lithium carbonate enterprise to raise price
Driven by the sales increase of new energy vehicles and the restrictions on the equipment for lithium extraction from salt lakes in winter, various producers raised the prices of lithium carbonate on Jan. 12 by 500 to 2,500 yuan per ton and the maximum increase reached 6 percent. The current price of lithium carbonate jumped 15 percent from the beginning of 2014.
Comment: The output of new energy vehicles reached more than 27,000 units last Dec. and the new energy vehicles market was strongly opened.

Talison Lithium Pty Ltd., a subsidiary of Sichuan Tianqi Lithium Industries, Inc. (002466.SZ), is the biggest solid lithium ores manufacturer globally and accounts for two thirds of the global spodumene ores supply. Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd.
