Equity Bottom-Up

<li>Pc Partner reported its second-best year ever in FY22. But FY22 was divided into two distinct halves: a strong 1H22 and one of the worst halves 2H22.</li>
<li>FY23 looks to be another challenging year as margins stay under pressure and are unlikely to come back to FY21-FY22 levels but could revert to FY17-FY19 levels.</li>
<li>Over the past two years, Pc Partner had a large net cash buffer, but this is no longer the case. We expect the stock to revisit 2-3 HKD range.</li>

<li>Nvidia will provide IP blocks to other semiconductor designers (hyperscalers Amazon, Google, their design partners Alchip, Mediatek) so that they can integrate their own CPU or ASIC into Nvidia’s systems.    </li>
<li>A small size RTX-Pro-Server for Enterprise to run their own AI models, AI agents. That’s “on-premise” AI. AI Data Platform, a tool to structure and train AI data and models.  </li>
<li>Mediatek is promoted to the title of “great partner”. Lots of mentions of Hon Hai / Foxconn, TSMC. No mention of Broadcom.</li>
