Feb 20 (Reuters) - Australia's Fortescue FMG.AX reported a 53% drop in its first-half profit on Thursday, hurt by weak iron ore prices as China's property sector continues to struggle.
The world's fourth-largest iron ore miner said underlying attributable net profit after tax was $1.55 billion for the six months ended December 31, compared with $3.34 billion reported a year ago.
