Sharp har i en lang periode haft det virkeligt dårligt. Deres TV forretning er fuldstændigt ødelagt og de kører massive underskud hvertår. De regner også med et sådan i år, så der er på den fundamentale side ikke meget at hænge sin hat på.
En ting er dog at de er blevet leverandør til Apples Iphone 5, og det kan måske være vendepunktet for firmaet.
Og nu har vi så fået et rygte om at Intel ønsker at skyde cash ind i Sharp. Interessant....
