HTC promises to lower profits in the first quarter of 2012

Not the most pleasant for the fans and shareholders continue to receive news from HTC. After the publication of predictably unsuccessful results of the last quarter of 2011, the company reported a negative outlook for the first quarter and beginning of the year.

To sweeten the information, the company said that it is temporary difficulties with the release of new models, they will be overcome. At the moment, the Taiwanese company is the fourth largest smartphone maker in the volumes, but these devices are 100% production HTC. It is expected that the company will introduce in February at the MWC show in Barcelona four new models that will reflect the exchange rate, which led to a drop in sales and reduce revenues. An attempt to saturate the market with a similar apparatus design and performance, as well as the relatively high cost has led to the fact that after long-term growth, HTC who formulated the fourth line of the rating of producers, it has fallen to fifth place in a single quarter. Will the models with quad-core processors and operating system Android 4.0 to change the situation, it is not clear. Analytical agency has not yet given in this regard predictions. At the same time, investors evaluate the company's prospects is high enough from the beginning of the year stock price has risen by 15%, despite the fact that fourth-quarter results are expected just such.
