Philips shares dip on Q3 loss
- 10 years ago
Dutch giant Philips has announced a net loss for the third quarter and revised its Q2 earnings to a lower level, year-on-year, yet remains bullish about 2015 and 16.
It says its divestment of the lighting division remains on-track and investment in the higher-margin medical and consumer divisions continues. Quitting the business that built Philips 123 years ago is likely to see the lighting spin-off initially in the form of a public offering, with the household name helping float the new company onto the market. Shares dipped four percent on the Q3 news.
