We will have an upcoming 1H results in August. Here's my analysis. I believe 1H will be good, based on the following:
1. 1H historically always do better than 2H, except 2021 but that’s because of property sales proceeds in Q3.
2. 3 hydros running full steam compared to 1H 2023.
3. semicon has bottomed off and should be better than 2H 2023, which itself registered a gain compared to 1H 2023.
4. China has been improving sequentially from 1H 2023 to 2H 2023. And I see caixin PMI figures running on expansion 6 months continuously (Jan - Jun 2024), ISDN China should see good figures.
5. Yuan has stopped the decline from 2H 2023, meaning we will not see any meaningful fx depreciation
