China Stock of the Day | Kabutaro & Friends

Suzhou Maxwell Technologies<300751>, a leading maker of HJT solar cell manufacturing equipment, was the Chinese stock most talked about online on November 5, 2026.
Background: On the 5th, buying concentrated on solar and energy storage stocks in the A-share market, and Maxwell, listed on ChiNext, briefly hit limit-up at 170.46 yuan, the full daily price limit. Selling then pushed it off the limit price, but it closed at 165.00 yuan, up 16.16% from the previous day, following a gain of more than 17% the day before. In the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party won both chambers of Congress, easing concerns that U.S. tax credits for solar and storage would be ended early, and the stock followed an across-the-board rally in U.S. solar stocks the previous day. Reports that China's new solar installations in the July–September 2026 quarter rose about 38% year on year, and that major companies were discussing price floors for silicon materials and modules, also provided a tailwind. Turnover was about 2.76 billion yuan, and market capitalization is about 46 billion yuan.
