What YOUNGY does

Mines lithium ore in Sichuan, sells lithium concentrate, refines lithium salts and makes lithium-battery production equipment.

Earns most from mining spodumene, a lithium ore, at its Sichuan mine and selling the concentrate to lithium-salt producers, so profit swings with the lithium price. A smaller arm refines lithium salts and builds battery-production equipment. It also runs, under contract, a Sichuan lithium-salt plant owned by an affiliate in which it holds a stake.

Products and services

  • Lithium concentrate (spodumene)
  • Lithium salts (battery-grade carbonate and hydroxide)
  • Lithium-battery production equipment

Customers

  • Lithium-salt and battery-material producers
  • Battery makers buying production equipment

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Materials
  • Lithium mining and processing
  • Lithium concentrate, salts and battery…

What could go right

  • Lithium demand from EV and storage batteries

What could go wrong

  • Lithium price swings
  • Project permitting delays at the mine

Moat: narrow (regulatory licence). Holds mining rights to a hard-rock lithium deposit in Sichuan; output is small next to larger lithium miners.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
