The de facto beneficiary of the EU EV subsidy, and historically, 46% of the sales were generated from Audi and BMW EVs. 
Valuation has hit the trough, but with no positive catalyst in sight, it is difficult to make a bull case for Samsung SDI (006400 KS) .
If the EU put up higher trade tariff for Chinese EV, it could jolt up SDI's share price but until then, stay away.
