Considerations are ongoing and no final decisions have been made, the people said.

This follows a massive rally in the battery maker's stock. CATL shares have surged about 160% since they started trading in Hong Kong in May last year, the report noted.

On Monday, CATL touched an all-time high of HK$701 per share in Hong Kong, although it erased almost all gains to close up 0.15% at HK$682.5 per share.

CATL reported last month that its full-year net income for 2025 jumped 42.28% to 72.2 billion yuan ($10.6 billion).

The company saw its revenue grow 17.04% to 423.7 billion yuan in 2025.

CATL announced at the time a generous cash dividend proposal of 69.57 yuan for every 10 shares held by its investors, which accounted for 50% of its net income.

CATL maintained its position as the battery maker with the highest installation volume in China in March, with a domestic power battery installation volume of 25.71 GWh, capturing a 45.54% share.

However, the giant's market share dropped by 3.56 percentage points from 49.10% in February. BYD ranked second in the overall battery market, holding a 17.83% share.

Overall, China's power battery installation volume showed a stabilizing trend in March, fully recovering from the holiday slump at the end of February.
