The same below), in line with the bank's expectations of 459 million yuan; the gross profit margin and operating profit margin during the period were 6.4% and-10.6% respectively, slightly higher than the bank's expectations, thanks to non-operating income, mainly government subsidies.
The bank pointed out that the group's guidance on sales and gross profit margins for the second quarter was 470 million yuan to 500 million yuan, and 6% to 10%, respectively, indicating that there will be no immediate recovery, but management is concerned about potential microcontrollers (MCUs) and power discrete components (power

However, the bank has noticed an increase in the inventory cycle of domestic non-chip factory companies, reflecting that the inventory pressure of local chip design companies will continue into the second half of this year, and even next year, which will hinder Huahong's average selling price and gross profit margin of chips from the immediate recovery.
