WCC's H1/23 results were softer than expected, as the company reported lower sales volumes and larger-than-expected ASP declines across its plants in Mainland China. In particular, sales volumes and ASP in the company's stronghold of Shaanxi fell 4% and 16% y-o-y, respectively. Positively, WCC's expansion in Africa has been progressing well, with overseas operations now accounting for 27% of revenue. The company's plants in Africa enjoy substantially higher margins than those in China. In our view, the key risk for WCC is uncertainty regarding the extent of its African expansion, with the company reportedly developing another USD 100 mn cement plant in Rwanda. We believe further expansion into Africa will fundamentally change WCC's risk profile.  We move our recommendation on the WESCHI 4.95 26 to "Buy" from "Hold".
