以色列國防部長卡茨：伊朗政權正處於有史以來最虛弱的時刻，我們意識到，這種虛弱可能促使其採取最極端的行動，甚至對以色列發動襲擊。如果伊朗襲擊以色列，伊朗將陷入火海。

CATL said this evening it repurchased 3.4886 million shares for 800 mln yuan, taking cumulative buybacks in the current programme to 4.607 bln yuan. In its Q3 2026 results the company reported revenue of 165.221 bln yuan, up 58.58% YoY, and net profit attributable to parent of 21.246 bln yuan, up 14.54% YoY; single-quarter profit growth was slightly below market expectations. Brokers cited product-mix shifts and a tax-rate adjustment as the main drivers of the quarter’s weaker-than-expected profit trend but said these are temporary and do not change medium-to-long-term demand for the lithium-battery industry. Goldman Sachs said the market has overestimated industry downside and underestimated CATL’s resilience as the global lithium-battery leader. Firms note fundamentals remain intact, with new growth curves in energy storage and battery swapping, and say the stock’s lower valuation makes it an attractive allocation for some investors.
