Hmmm. Swedish "Finanstidningen" says: "Pl”tsligt slutade Ericsson ocks† att redovisa siffrorna ”ver ordering†ngen, vilket allm„nt tolkades som att den efter 26 kvartal slutat v„xa." My Swedish is pretty horrible, but it means roughly: Ericsson has abruptly stopped giving numbers about their order growth, which some people translated as meaning that the 26-quarter long period of sales growth is over. The newspaper traces this as the trigger for the rumors. Then there is this: "Vi bed”mer att Ericsson kan ha f”rlorat ett par procentenheter ned till omkring 20 procent av marknaden f”r digitala mobiltelefoner. Nokia tar marknadsandelar av b†de Ericsson och Motorola f”r tillf„llet", s„ger en analytiker p† Morgan Stanley i London. A Morgan Stanley analyst warning about "two percent" market share loss to Nokia this year in the mobile phone market. "Ett problem som m†nga pekar p† „r att Ericssons nya modeller redan upplevs som gamla, samtidigt som konkurrenterna vr„ker ut nya produkter i ett allt h”gre tempo." Ericsson's new models appear already oldfashioned. But: "Marknaden f”r mobiltelefoner „r cyklisk." Work that one out yourselves. Tero
