Taiwan Notebook Computer Makers' Output Hits New Highs
stock bull:
Even the business model of the two companies are not the same let alone execution,management and other issues that set the companies apart.For starters CPQ's is a 'hybrid' model,in other words they have too many models that they follow.Well you know the story,got the channels,got the co-habitation thing going,got a little bit of the web thing now,and many others who know what but the thing is it is not a pretty sight I tellya.
At Dell we do one thing and do it with class,style and focus.
That is it in a nut-shell.
Now here is a bit of news from Taiwan.
============================================
November 11, 1998 (TAIPEI) -- Many notebook computer manufacturers in Taiwan reported new monthly highs for output in October, just before the traditional peak season for the sector.Some companies even foresee higher sales and earnings for November.
Acer Inc. estimated its October output at more than 100,000 units.
This number not only represents Acer's all-time high, but also marks the highest output among listed notebook computer makers.
Inventec Corp. garnered NT$4.77 billion (US$146 million) in operating revenues last month, its second-highest level on record.
The company's notebook computer output, however, surpassed 90,000 units and set a new record.
Compal Electronic Inc.'s October notebook computer output is estimated at 90,000 units, increasing nearly 20,000 units from the previous month.
The company reported more than NT$3.5 billion (US$107 million) in operating revenues for October, marking another historic high.
Twinhead International Corp. sold a record-setting 43,000 notebook computers in October.
The company's monthly operating revenues did not hit new records, however, because of sliding product prices.
Company executives demand in November and December to continue booming.
Clevo Co. also broke its own output records by selling about 35,000 units last month.
The company took in more than NT$1 billion in operating revenues that month.
As most of its orders came from distribution channels, Clevo remained the biggest winner in the computer marketing channels in October.
The company's original equipment manufacturing operations are expected to rise in the future, because it began business with Japan's Hitachi Ltd. in November.
