Times Electric Third Quarter Report Overview
Time Electric released its Q3 financial report ahead of schedule this year, showing a return to growth in the rail transit business and continued high growth in the new energy business. As the impact of the epidemic weakened, rail transit projects such as railways began to show signs of recovery in the third quarter, which stabilized the company's performance. In the new energy business, electric vehicle drives and wind and solar power still contributed greatly to the company's growth in the third quarter. The Dolphin Analyst believes that Time Electric's profits still come mainly from the high gross margin rail transit business, while the new energy business mainly provides revenue growth. Although the company's overall performance was good this quarter, as the new energy business grows, the company's performance is increasingly affected by the ups and downs of the new energy sector.
