Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Owing to robust demand, the EV battery business will reach at least a high-single-digit operating margin near-term and continue to drive LGES' margin expansion.

Bears

The profitability of EV batteries doesn’t improve as expected because of price competition, heavy upfront costs, and lower production yields.
