Analysts say HP PC business is too big for Asian manufacturers to buy

"Sadie Network News" August 20, according to foreign media reports, industry insiders said in Friday, HP's PC business may be too large, Asian technology companies may be difficult to fully annex.　　But if Hewlett-Packard splits the sector into several parts, the potential ear acquirers are in Asia. ' The size of the HP PC sector means it's impossible for a company to buy the entire segment, ' said Carter Lusher, an analyst at market research firm Ovum.　　Some analysts expect the business unit to be worth 100 to 12 billion dollars.　　Although the entire takeover is difficult, HP's Asian rivals, including Lenovo and Acer, may be looking at HP's sector, according to people familiar with the banking industry.　　Other foundry manufacturers, including Hon Hai, are also considered potential acquirers, according to industry insiders. Lenovo now has 3.8 billion dollars in cash. Samsung Electronics had 1.9 trillion won (17.7 billion dollars) in cash at the end of the second quarter. Vincent Chan, an analyst at Taipei Yuan Securities, said only Samsung and Lenovo had money to buy HP's business.　　However, they must consider the compatibility of their business models.　　However, a Samsung spokeswoman said Samsung was not interested in HP's PC business.　　Analysts Vincent Chan said other Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei would be interested if HP bundled its server sales. Taiwan's Acer and ASUS do not have enough cash to buy HP's PC business unless HP sells the department in several parts, bankers and analysts say.
