HP Hawking PC business valuations billions of dollars Samsung Lenovo onlookers

Every reporter Wu Wenkun from Beijing Hewlett-Packard announced the intention to dispose of personal computer Business Department news recently shocked the industry.　　The latest news yesterday (August 24) showed that HP's valuation of the business would be more than $10 billion trillion. Lenovo and Samsung as the most vocal buyers, both sides yesterday have related news.　　Samsung Electronics said it has no intention to take over HP's personal computer business, and Lenovo vice President, China's general manager Chen Xudong Foreign analysis that from the point of view of seizing market share, HP spin-off PC for Lenovo is good news, but for Lenovo is a pick, he did not say.　　Hewlett-Packard's PC department valued billions of dollars in HP's CEO, Apotheker, announced in Thursday (August 18) that it would split or sell its PC business unit. "The PC business really has no future.　　"This should be the main reason for HP to make the move," said an IT analyst who declined to be named in Fidelity Securities yesterday to the daily economic news. CSDN Editor-in-Chief Liu that the fundamental reason for stripping the PC business is not making money.　　The PC business is the lowest profit margin in all of HP's operations, operating margins of only 5.9%, and other business profits are 10%, so HP continues to engage in this business is not very shareholder interest. The latest news yesterday showed that HP valued the PC sector above billions of dollars. According to foreign media reports, Hewlett-Packard Personal Systems Executive Vice President Tode Bradley Toddbradley in an interview that the company plans to split or sell the PC department, the current valuation should exceed the department's annual revenue of One-fourth. According to Bradley, Hewlett-Packard's PC division should be valued at more than $10 billion trillion in the last fiscal year, the data showed. This valuation is also in line with the judgement of the relevant bodies.　　Credit Suisse's previous analysis concluded that HP's business was worth 12 billion of dollars, and that its sale would be the biggest PC deal since HP bought Compaq in 2002. Money or Lenovo problems industry analysts believe that Samsung in the PC machine, smart phone field has accumulated for many years, software also has the strength.　　If the purchase of HP PC business, Samsung can achieve the integration of the whole industry chain, so as to compete head-on with Apple. "Samsung attaches great importance to PC business and has dug some people out of HP this year, and its capital strength is stronger than Lenovo's."　　"It analysts say Samsung is more likely to have this business." Samsung Electronics yesterday said it had no intention of acquiring HP's PC business, despite foreign media reports.　　But recently, with Quanta, Compal and Heshuo, and other Chinese Taiwanese manufacturers to engage in the evaluation of the foundry capacity of these enterprises, and hope to outsource some of the orders to the latter, the move was also outside the analysis that Samsung Electronics has been doing to take over the HP PC business preparations. Hewlett-Packard's spin-off of the PC business is thought to be a big boon for itself. Chen Xudong, vice president of Lenovo and China's general manager, said in an emerging market strategy meeting held yesterday that HP's spin-off of PC business was a strategic choice for the company., which is similar to IBM's sale of PC business.　　In his view, the impact of HP's strategy on Lenovo will be positive, "not only for Lenovo, for other manufacturers, is also a good opportunity to seize market share."　　He did not comment on whether Lenovo would buy HP's PC business, but said HP's PC business was not particularly complementary to Lenovo. "Lenovo will have a bigger impact on the market if it takes over." "It analysts said that Lenovo would have a large market share, if you take the PC business of HP, can produce scale effect." Lenovo after the acquisition of IBM, after years of digestion and integration, the current business has basically embarked on the right track.　　If the HP PC business is acquired, it will certainly appeal to Lenovo.　　HP and Dell still occupy the top two of global PC shipments, with a market share of 18.1% and 12.9%, Lenovo ranked third, accounting for 12.2% of the market, according to IDC, the world's second-quarter PC sales figures. But the analyst believes that money may be a problem that Lenovo has to face.　　According to the data, Lenovo currently has the cash in the hands of about 3.8 billion dollars, if you want to take out tens of billions of dollars of money to buy, perhaps to seek financial financing and other means to solve. In addition to Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei's acquisition of HP's business interests are also mentioned by the industry. The latter has been a high interest in acquiring European and American companies, but it has been difficult to take on national security concerns. Market analysis believes that if Hewlett-Packard to split the model of consumer PCs sold, can reduce U.S. concerns, which also gave Huawei opportunities.
