OT SanDisk: What are their [sic] prospects? SanDisk: What are its prospects? I am of the view that either construct is equally valid. In the first, you're implicitly referencing all the assets of the company -- this is very similar to saying o India are a better team than Mexico in cricket [reference to all Indian team players] o The English (or equivalently, England) are past masters at international diplomacy [here, you refer to the English diplomatic corps]. o The KGB were feared opponents of the CIA. In all such cases, the relevant noun is, pedantically speaking, singular when considered alone - however, the context of the sentence in which the noun is used permits a more liberal usage of tense.
