Lenovo buys IBM low-end server business: will quickly raise net interest rates
Http://tech.sina.com.cn/it/2014-01-23/17299122952.shtml
Lenovo Group announced the acquisition of IBM low-end server business, trading price of 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. Trading is good for both sides, but the biggest benefit is Lenovo Group. Not only did the deal further expand Lenovo's revenues, but, above all, it would quickly boost its net profit margin.
IBM has historically taken aggressive business-tuning strategies to retain only the larger growth potential and higher-margin business. IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo in 2005, then boosted its High-margin software and consulting business. Today, the sale of low-end server business is also consistent with the company's consistent business strategy.
Although the company has been spending a huge amount of money on buying back shares and paying high dividends to please investors, IBM's share price has been flagging for a long time, and the dumping of low-end businesses is also helping the firm to raise its gross margin further, which may give momentum to the price rise.
The biggest beneficiary of the deal is undoubtedly Lenovo Group. Lenovo is now the world's largest PC maker, although its smartphone and tablet business has been developing smoothly, but the company's profits have been limited to date. At least in the short term, the takeover will directly boost Lenovo's earnings.
