TPI is up 204% in the past year and 35% since the CSRC approval. Today's relatively lacklustre share price response to TBG's pricing would indicate TPI's pricing is full.

Farasis has been in the market for a relatively long time but is still small as a business and has reported net losses over the recent two years.
Battery cells produced using the carbon-neutral process gives the company some recognition and have earned the company orders from Daimler.
However, the industry leaders like Panasonic have also started moving towards the use of such zero-emission production methods.
The risks involved with the IPO appear quite high, given the continuous losses, slowdown in China’s EV market post-subsidy cut and the mounting trade tension with the US.
We like the renewable energy production process for Li-ion batteries and the possibilities of recycling therewith and believe the true value of the company may lie in its willingness to be acquired by a larger player with the financial resources to fully utilise its technological advantages.
