Contemporary Amperex Technology stock gains a fresh European manufacturing marker after the battery maker began trial production at its Debrecen cell plant on September 22, 2026. The project adds a 100 GWh facility to CATL's overseas production network and gives the company another route into Europe's electric vehicle supply chain.

Hungary plant reaches trial stage

According to CATL on September 22, 2026, the first two production lines entered trial operations after the required permits and preconditions were completed. Trial production is designed to optimize equipment and processes before series manufacturing begins.

The Debrecen site has already produced 537,000 battery modules since autumn 2024. Once fully operational, CATL says the Hungarian plant will become its largest manufacturing base outside China, with planned capacity of 100 GWh, according to FT.com.

Growth remains visible in results

CATL's first-half 2026 revenue reached CNY 276.917 billion, up 54.80 percent from the year-earlier period. Net profit attributable to shareholders rose 41.98 percent to CNY 43.284 billion, figures reported by Gate News in September 2026. The comparison matters because CATL is expanding overseas capacity while still delivering double-digit revenue and profit growth.

The company's commercial vehicle strategy is also broadening. CATL said on September 14, 2026, that its TECTRANS II platform supports a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers, 80 percent charging in 25 minutes and 96 percent system round-trip efficiency, according to CATL.

Shenzhen quote stays below yearly high

On the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the stock was last at CNY 291.11 on September 30, 2026 at 3:04 a.m. CEST, equivalent to a daily gain of 1.50 percent in the primary-market quote. The 52-week range was CNY 285.74 to CNY 468.75, while market capitalization stood at CNY 1.3 trillion on September 30, 2026. The valuation picture therefore combines strong operating growth with a share price positioned well below its yearly high.
