　　For 2HFY24, GWMOTOR management is optimistic about the strong gross margin outlook due to the increase in the share of sales of higher-margin off-road models in overseas markets, further cost reductions due to sufficient supply of upstream components, and limited participation in the price war in the Mainland, which has enabled it to maintain higher ASPs and stable margins.

　　The broker raised its ASP and gross profit forecasts for FY24-FY26 by 7% - 8% and 0.8 ppts - 1 ppt respectively on the back of strong gross profit contribution from the company's overseas operations.
