The most likely path, plus upside and downside

Watch over 6 months
Most likely

Sales volume will increase for Hisense, Samsung, and DJI products, but profit margins may face pressure due to deep discounts.

If things move faster

If promotions lead to significant consumer engagement, these brands could unexpectedly expand their market shares against competitors like LG and Sony.

If the signal weakens
