A few days ago Asus chairman Johnny Shih surprised us by saying that the company is considering the purchase of Taiwanese HTC, followed by a CFO David Chang confirmed that the possibility of the acquisition discussed in Asus.
What does this mean?
Of course, those words can not be interpreted as a strong desire to buy Asus HTC. Moreover, neither Shih nor David Chang did not mention that the discussion about a possible merger with HTC handed down somewhere outside the company. However, in the HTC considered it their duty to stop any speculation about the sale of the Taiwanese Asus, and now on the site appeared the Taiwan Stock Exchange short notice HTC for investors, according to which the company did not conduct any negotiations to merge with Asus and does not intend to conduct these negotiations in the future. The HTC promised that the company will continue to develop “smart” Soup world level. And this is coupled with the words of Cher Wang that this year the company will release a lot of smartphones for the consumer market, and among them will be the new “heroic” smartphone.
Recently, we are increasingly confronted with rumors about the sale of the Taiwanese HTC. These rumors are not groundless since the failure of last generation flagship smartphone manufacturer HTC has brought down the stock to 2005 levels. And investors do not see a way out of the crisis. In this sense, especially indicative of the reaction of investors to the indirect even rumors about the sale of HTC and Asus, because of which the producer’s share price jumped immediately to 10%.
Verdict – HTC and Asus
If we talk about the Asus, the best known, the company received as a manufacturer of notebooks. However, in recent years, the company is actively developing its business and for the production of smartphones, and analysts believe that in 2015, shipments of smartphones Asus rise immediately to 89%, making it the fastest growing manufacturer of smartphones among major vendors.
