power battery manufacturers continue to "ask for money" from the market
The market seems to have long been used to the "internal rolling" 10 billion expansion of power batteries. On March 2, Sunwoda Electronic Co.Ltd(300207) shares closed down 3.25% to 35.16 yuan, down 36.07% from the record high set on November 10 last year (55 yuan, former resumption of rights), with a total market value of 60.4 billion yuan.
