The Globalwafers (6488 TT) outlook for 1Q24F is likely to show a slightly negative QoQ revenue trend. However, we anticipate a positive direction from 2Q24F onwards.  
We have a relatively high conviction for 2024F compared to 2023, indicating upside potential for the Memory and Logic sectors.
The supply of 12" raw wafers remains constrained among the top market players, and overcoming this constraint won't be easy.
