Against the background of information on quarterly loss, shares of the Taiwanese company
HTC fell in price by 10%,
reports Business Insider. The company predicts a loss of five times the analysts' forecast. HTC expects the loss in July-September to be $ 5.51-5.85 per share. The average forecast of analysts suggests that this figure will be $ 1.17 per share.
HTC will restructure, including reductions in labor and changes in top management. In an attempt to reverse the situation, the company is reviewing the model range. According to HTC's forecast, its revenue in the current quarter will be approximately $ 600 million. If HTC’s revenue falls below this level, it will be the minimum for the last ten years of the company's history.
Kevin Su, an analyst at
Nua Nan Securities investment company, said that after stopping the bidding, applications to sell another 7.5 million shares of HTC remained unfulfilled.
