  • With Trump becoming the next President of the United States, we explain why the rechargeable battery sector in Korea is likely to get further battered in the coming months.

  • Trump administration could eliminate or significantly slash the $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric vehicle (EV) purchases, which is one of the key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

  • We expect the sell-side to further cut their earnings estimates on the key key names in the Korean rechargeable battery sector in the coming months.
