Interim Results for the period ended 30 June 2026
The Company is pleased to announce its results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. The interim results have been submitted to the FCA and will shortly be available on the Company’s website:www.thalassaholdingsltd.com Highlights for the 6 months ended 30 June 2026 GROUP RESULTS 1H 2026 versus 1H 2025, unless otherwise stated (Unaudited)
The first half of 2026 is well and truly behind us. It was by any measure a remarkable six months for investors. Markets embraced the continued AI boom whilst simultaneously ignoring the conflict in the Middle East, and a sharp first-quarter correction was just another bump in the road, Major US Indices recovered after a 10% pull back to reach new all-time highs by the end of June…as they do! However, the H1 Rally was not led by the Magnificent Seven (-3% for H1) as has been the case in recent years, but by companies supplying AI infrastructure, such as semiconductor, memory, and data center businesses. Double digit corporate earnings growth for the S&P 500 drove stocks higher, allowing investors to ignore geopolitical concerns, and helping to justify multiple expansion and higher valuations. The U.S. economy appeared impervious to rising interest rates and higher oil prices, and until recently inflation was not on the drinks list at cocktail parties in the Hamptons or St Tropez! Capital investment, especially into AI Data Centers continued to boom, while US unemployment flat lined near historical lows at 4.3%. Higher oil prices have pushed up the cost of many goods and whilst the August PPI number came in on target at 0.4%, Oil’s jump through $100bbl won’t impact inflation data for another 60 to 90 days when higher transportation costs will really hit consumers, already feeling the pain of higher mortgage rates, which at the time of writing are headed towards 7% for a 30 year fixed mortgage. In May, Jerome Powell retired as chair of the Federal Reserve Bank and was replaced by Kevin Warsh, adding a layer of uncertainty to future US monetary policy. The longer inflation remains higher, the greater the impact on economic growth. Crude prices have again spiked and Gasoline Prices have hit an all time high at more than $6 per gallon---still only about a third of the price in the UK and EU! So, with the November mid-term elections set to add to the expanded conflict in the Gulf and the possibility of sustained higher oil process the second half of 2026 may not turn out as rosy as previously expected. Now that the UK has a new Labour PM, maybe a quote from Harold Wilson, “a week is a long time in politics” can remind us how quickly things can change in both politics but also the markets. We anticipate further volatility during the rest of 2026 with the clear possibility that the overextended US consumer may, at some point in the not-too-distant future withdraw from the stock market if interest rates don’t decline rapidly in the next month or so.

Mr Soukup serves on the Board of SUN.
My conclusion remains unchanged with the exception that the likelihood of the eventuality that I outline below increases with every day that global trade wars escalate, and conflicts impacting inflation continue to flare up. Rather obviously, in my opinion, Trade Wars are not goodfor Global Growth. Excessive deficits funded by Trade Partners, rapidly become unfundable if a government ostracizes its Trading Partners…which the USA is doing with exceptional success.
A protracted Trade War accompanied by higher inflation, falling demand and increased unemployment could easily result in a global economic slowdown of Biblical proportions.
If such a scenario were to play out, a reversion to the mean would result in a 50%+ correction in US markets…without any overshoot.
