Sample tech (01708.HK) expects a net loss of approximately 12-18 million yuan(RMB) in the six months ending June 30, 2024. Last year, the net profit was about 26.2 million yuan. The main reason for the performance loss is that the domestic market has not recovered as expected, the competition among peers is fierce, most projects have been won at low stock prices, and procurement costs continue to rise, resulting in a decline in overall revenue and gross margin. It is expected that the current period's revenue will decrease by about 20% to 30% compared with the same period last year.
