Group 1: Advanced Manufacturing Sector - LG Energy Solution, a battery supplier for General Motors and Tesla, expects a 9.7% decline in revenue for Q2 this year, from 6.16 trillion KRW (approximately 4.5 billion USD) last year to 5.56 trillion KRW, despite a projected 152% increase in operating profit to 492.2 billion KRW, compared to 195.3 billion KRW last year [3] - The company benefits significantly from the Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit (AMPC) under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, receiving tax incentives totaling 490.8 billion KRW in Q2. Excluding this tax credit, the operating profit would only be 1.4 billion KRW [3] - The recent U.S. legislation, the "Big and Beautiful Act," has ended certain key clean energy subsidies and tightened restrictions on "foreign entities of concern," which will impact Korean and Japanese battery manufacturers more than their Chinese counterparts, posing challenges to LG Energy Solution's profitability in Q3 and beyond [4] Group 2: Consumer Sector - The summer travel peak is approaching, with the civil aviation market expected to see a total passenger volume of 150 million during the summer transportation period (July 1 to August 31), averaging over 2.4 million passengers per day, representing a 5.4% year-on-year increase [7] - The civil aviation sector is projected to execute 1.061 million passenger flights, averaging 17,000 flights per day, which is a 3.9% increase compared to the previous year [7] - Despite the increase in travel volume, ticket prices have slightly decreased, with the average economy class ticket price during the summer travel period being 839 CNY, down 1.3% from the same period in 2024 and down 3.1% from 2019 [7] - The recovery of the cross-border travel market is expected to boost airport duty-free businesses, and new policies for city duty-free shops may accelerate, making the duty-free, dining, local consumption, and entertainment sectors potential beneficiaries [7]
