This negative should be mitigated by higher top-line contribution from LG3. As a result, we stand by our 3.2% 2018 EPS growth forecast, despite 4.3% increase in 1H18, before reaching 6.9% growth in 2019. We project only HK$0.03/share increase in dividend for the full year, of which HK$0.01 already occurred in 1H. We are positive on the stock, but our 2018 EPS and DPS Note: Recommendation timeline - if not a continuous line, then there was no forecasts are 8% and 2% below consensus.
