Hewlett-Packard's PC Unit May Lure Lenovo, Samsung as Bidders
Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Bill Kreher, analyst with Edward Jones & Co., talks about Hewlett-Packard Co.'s planned overhaul of its businesses, including an agreement to buy Autonomy Corp. for $10.3 billion and consideration of a breakup that would unravel the much-debated Compaq Computer Corp. purchase. Kreher speaks with Jon Erlichman on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg West." (Source: Bloomberg)
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) ’s plans to unload its personal-computer business, the world’s biggest, may attract China ’s Lenovo Group Ltd. (992) and South Korea ’s Samsung Electronics Co. as suitors, analysts said.
Lenovo, the Chinese company that bought International Business Machines Corp.’s PC business in 2005, would be a leading candidate, analysts at technology research firms Ovum Ltd. and IDC said. Samsung may also be interested because the purchase may complement its geographic and product mix, said Carter Lusher, a researcher at Ovum.
Hewlett-Packard said yesterday it may shed the unit as Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker plans to overhaul the 72- year-old company to focus more on software and enterprise customers. Credit Suisse Group AG estimates the division may be worth $12 billion, which may make a sale the PC industry’s biggest since Hewlett-Packard bought Compaq Computer Corp. in 2002, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“The PC business is still going to be a huge business with great opportunities for a company that can manage it correctly,” Lusher said in a telephone interview. “The tablets are hot new flavors, but remember hundreds of millions of PCs are sold every year.”
The Palo Alto , California-based company said yesterday it plans to separate its PC division within 18 months, discontinue making products that run WebOS software and purchase software- maker Autonomy Corp. for $10.3 billion. Dell Inc. (DELL) , the second- largest PC maker, also is focusing more on services, though PCs still make up about half its sales.
