惠普公司最新公布的截至7月31日的第三財(cái)季季報(bào)顯示，公司當(dāng)季虧損88.6億美元，合每股虧損4.49美元；原因是受大規(guī)模減值支出及重組費(fèi)用拖累，同時(shí)主營(yíng)業(yè)務(wù)利潤(rùn)和收入均出現(xiàn)下滑。分析人士稱(chēng)，個(gè)人電腦(PC)市場(chǎng)的萎縮將持續(xù)累及惠普和戴爾等電腦制造商的業(yè)績(jī)。
In both cases，PC sales fell more steeply than the companies’overall revenue. HP said revenue from its PC group slipped 10% from a year earlier，while Dell reported a 14% drop. Both companies rely heavily on PCs，with sales of the computers accounting for nearly a third of HP’s revenue and half of Dell’s.
無(wú)論是惠普還是戴爾，PC業(yè)務(wù)營(yíng)收在兩家公司各自總營(yíng)收中所占比率都急劇下降�；萜毡硎�，其PC部門(mén)營(yíng)收同比下降10%，戴爾PC業(yè)務(wù)營(yíng)收也同比下滑14%。兩家公司都嚴(yán)重依賴PC業(yè)務(wù)，其中惠普將近三分之一營(yíng)收來(lái)自PC業(yè)務(wù)，而戴爾約一半營(yíng)收來(lái)自PC業(yè)務(wù)。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
隨著PC機(jī)身份由貴重物品向低成本日常生活用品的轉(zhuǎn)變，PC業(yè)務(wù)也逐漸成為惠普和戴爾兩家公司的沉重包袱。
“There’s no question that the PC market is weak，”Ms. Whitman said in an interview. She added that the shift to devices like tablets and smartphones was eating into PC sales.
(惠普首席執(zhí)行官)惠特曼(上周)在接受采訪時(shí)表示：“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，目前PC市場(chǎng)并不景氣�！被萏芈�表示，平板電腦和智能手機(jī)產(chǎn)業(yè)的興起，也在一定程度上蠶食了原本屬于PC市場(chǎng)的份額。(《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》)
美國(guó)市場(chǎng)研究公司Gartner此前發(fā)布的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，今年第二季度期間，全球PC出貨量與上一年同期持平。導(dǎo)致此現(xiàn)象的主要原因有兩點(diǎn)：一是全球經(jīng)濟(jì)仍處于低迷狀態(tài)；二是消費(fèi)者將眼光瞄向了平板電腦、智能手機(jī)等新型電子產(chǎn)品。
HP，which is cutting 27000 jobs across its businesses，also said falls in the company’s share price had prompted a review the value of its assets. Its shares are down 60 per cent over five years，37 per cent over one year and 25 per cent year to date.
正在各部門(mén)執(zhí)行2.7萬(wàn)人裁員計(jì)劃的惠普還表示，股價(jià)下跌促使該公司對(duì)自身資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行了重估。5年之中，惠普股價(jià)下跌了60%，一年內(nèi)下跌37%，今年迄今跌幅達(dá)25%。(《金融時(shí)報(bào)》)
惠普首席執(zhí)行官惠特曼正致力于重組集團(tuán)。在動(dòng)蕩的過(guò)去兩年里，惠普解雇了兩位首席執(zhí)行官，在以消費(fèi)者或商業(yè)客戶為核心的兩種戰(zhàn)略之間搖擺不定，致使公司股價(jià)大跌。
HP’s business continued to be hit by a slowing economy in most of its biggest regions，including Western Europe and China.The“pretty soft underlying macro economic environment”is continuing into the current quarter，Lesjak said but added that there were some“bright spots”such as Eastern Europe and Japan.
惠普的營(yíng)運(yùn)持續(xù)受到其幾大區(qū)域市場(chǎng)內(nèi)多數(shù)經(jīng)濟(jì)體經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)放緩的沖擊，包括西歐及中國(guó)等地。(惠普財(cái)務(wù)長(zhǎng))Lesjak指出，“非常疲軟的基本宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境”正延續(xù)至本季，但他稱(chēng)東歐和日本則有一些“亮點(diǎn)”。(路透社)
據(jù)悉，惠普第三財(cái)季裁員4000人，到2012財(cái)年結(jié)束時(shí)可能將裁掉11500個(gè)崗位。
