"My only comment is that it is likely to be a VERY bad Q2" (Mika Kukkanen)

You are probably right. Why else would Ericsson have picked this particular time to change leadership. Further, I wonder if Mr. Nilson was not made the fall-guy for the recent downturn in the company's fortunes. The first of Ericsson's earnings disappointments just happened too soon after he had taken over. Also, I remember reading an article in a Swedish newspaper at the time of his appointment saying that he deliberated for a full week after being offered the position as CEO by Dr. Ramqvist. The hand writing may already have been on the wall at that time.
