Wat ik interessant vind, is dat Nokia zegt dat er
concrete interesse is vanuit
meerdere partijen , is het spel dan nu op de wagen?
HERE, previously valued by Nokia at €2B ($2.12B), is reportedly "attracting interest from companies and private-equity firms," as CEO Rajeev Suri tries to slash Nokia's debt load. Bloomberg cautions Nokia might opt against a sale if it can't get a sufficient bid; bids are expected soon. HERE had 2014 revenue of €969M ($1.03B, +6% Y/Y), and an op. profit of €31M ($33M, -35% Y/Y); top-line growth is expected in 2015.
The business has had a tough time competing against Google in the online/mobile mapping space, but has fared better in the automotive market. Google's Android Auto and Apple's CarPlay platforms have begun providing fresh auto market competition.The unit saw a leadership change last year that reportedly stemmed from a disagreement with Suri over whether HERE should continue going after consumers or focus on auto/enterprise opportunities.Nokia has spiked higher following Bloomberg's report.
