Robin, Il n'est pas impossible qu'on parle des "semi-conducteurs": parmi les sociétés nommées dans les résultats 2017 pour l'Europe, c'est un thème qui revient. Si vous ne pouvez avoir confirmation du sens dans le reste du texte, votre idée de vous en tenir à "semi" m'apparaît la plus sûre.

Merci Anne-Marie C'est sans doute ça.

Il s'agit de la présentation des résultats d'un portefeuille.

Pourquoi mentionner l'Europe ? Car avant cela, il est question des résultats au É.-U.

Main drivers for the S&P 500’s +6.12% increase were mainly a result of positive earnings revisions after US tax reform passed through, positive macro‑economic trends, and continued USD weakness vs. the Euro.
The 2nd quarter (Q2) / first half of the year (H1) earnings season in Europe showed a net beat of consensus estimates with strongest beats on topline and earnings growth in semi and banks.
The Q3/2017 earnings season in Europe was solid as EPS growth was 9.5% year to year (yoy) while only 51% were beating.

Some more context? The 2nd quarter (Q2) / first half of the year (H1) earnings
=>
WHOSE earnings?

... in Europe ...
=>
why mentioning Europe?

Is this a multinational operating all over the word and selling "semis and banks"? Or something completely else?


Robin Dufaye (asker) Apr 21, 2018:
Merci pour vos réponses. Malheureusement le projet est à rendre lundi matin. Il est donc impossible d'attendre le retour du client...
Dans le doute, je crois que je vais conserver l'ambiguïté et traduire par "semi" tout simplement, même si je pencherais pour la réponse d'AllegroTrans.
Elsa de Barros Apr 21, 2018:
Secteur ? Il semblerait qu'il s'agit d'un fragment du secteur bancaire, financier, ou alors agriculture? ... mais je ne suis pas certaine et ça difficulte les chose pour vous aider. :-)
Germaine Apr 21, 2018:
semi-industrialized countries? C'est tout ce que je peux voir qui cadre avec Europe et banks.
AllegroTrans Apr 20, 2018:
semi-banking? ?

semi = semi-conductor = semi-conducteur

http://evertiq.com/news/40439

Les semi-conducteurs sont des corps solides dont la conductivité électrique se situe entre celle des métaux et celle des isolants. La conductivité électrique des solides est une propriété qui est due à la présence d'électrons libres de se déplacer dans le milieu et de générer ainsi un courant électrique.

neutral Daryo : possible, but given the very limited context, CL4 is wildly overoptimistic!

PLS read the fist table in my second attachment and you will see that semi = semi-conductors. This abbreviation is known by those who read financial news
disagree Elsa de Barros : Not enough context to know if the word "semi" is an electrical or financial or agricultural or something other

Thanks!
agree Jean-Charles Pirlet : It is semi-conductors, not 2 ways about it. One of the biggest sectors on the Nasdaq and NYSE.
