Gate News message, April 17 — Ganfeng Lithium, a major lithium producer listed in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, expects Q1 net profit of 1.6 billion to 2.1 billion yuan (approximately US$235 million to US$308 million), compared with a loss of 360 million yuan (US$52.8 million) in the same period a year earlier.
The turnaround was driven by higher lithium prices and stronger orders for lithium products. Demand for lithium salts from downstream customers remained robust, supporting the company’s earnings recovery.
Analysts attributed rising fuel costs linked to Middle East tensions as a factor that could accelerate consumer adoption of electric vehicles. Ganfeng is also strengthening its position through vertical integration, targeting a lithium self-supply rate above 50% in fiscal 2025, which exceeds industry averages. The company’s Goulamina project in Mali helps buffer raw material cost volatility. China dominates global lithium processing, holding 76% of worldwide lithium smelting capacity as of 2022, while the U.S. is investing in alternative supply chains, including a US$2.23 billion loan to Lithium Americas for its Thacker Pass project in Nevada.

Bitcoin rebounds to $76k, with Trump extending the Iran ceasefire to ease geopolitical pressure temporarily
U.S. President Trump announced on April 22 that the ceasefire deadline with Iran would be extended. At the request of Pakistan’s Army Chief of Staff and Prime Minister, the U.S. will wait for Iran to submit a unified proposal before moving forward, while continuing to maintain the naval blockade and keeping its forces on standby. Iran refused to attend the next round of negotiations originally scheduled to take place in Islamabad, and the Strait of Hormuz has closed again. Bitcoin rebounded to $76,000, and analyst DonAlt views this as a key early warning level that determines the direction of the market outlook going forward.

AI nuclear power startup Fermi’s founder urged selling the company after stepping down: market value fell 83% in half a year
Bloomberg reported that AI nuclear power startup Fermi was removed on April 18 by co-founder and CEO Toby Neugebauer. On the same day, CFO Miles Everson stepped down, and Neugebauer also publicly called for the sale of the company. With no revenue before its IPO and its first hyperscaler contract not yet in place, the stock price fell from its 2025 peak of about $20 billion to $3.4 billion on April 20. In six months, its market value evaporated by 83%. Running day-to-day operations during the transition period under the Office of the CEO shows the gap between the narrative and actual deal-making.
