Where CBAT is headed
CBAK enters 2028 as one of a handful of Chinese second-tier cell makers that actually survived the great battery shakeout of 2025-2027. CATL and BYD took the EV crown years ago. That fight is over. The interesting question is who supplies the next layer down: residential storage, e-bikes, power tools, backup power, and the awkward middle of commercial energy storage where the giants don't want to bother. Revenue running at $400M-$500M with mid-single-digit operating margins is the realistic destination, and at that point a $61M market cap looks ridiculous.
