Three new contracts in three days totalling more than $3bn: good news for Ericsson investors, used to a gloomy tone from the world's biggest telecoms equipment maker. Net income fell 65 per cent in 2009 and Ericsson refused to hazard a guess on whether things would improve this year, citing the continued caution of its customers. Its success this week does not signal an uplift on that front, though. If anything, the near-term outlook has darkened.
3天獲得了總值逾30億美元的3份合同:對于已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了愛立信(Ericsson)陰暗基調(diào)的投資者來說,這無疑是個(gè)好消息。2009年,這個(gè)世界最大電信設(shè)備制造商的凈利潤下降了65%,且拒絕猜測今年情況是否會(huì)好轉(zhuǎn),稱其客戶仍持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度。不過,其本周的成功并不表明凈利潤會(huì)有起色。如果說有什么不同的話,短期前景反倒變得更加陰暗了。
