Report: Huawei to sell entire H3C stake; ZTE reports earning

Sina cites 第一财经日报 (YNet.com): Report: Huawei to sell entire H3C stake

对于华为整体转让一事,赛迪顾问公司电信咨询总监绎明宇博士在接受本报采访时表示,存在这种可能性。“H3C与华为产品重合,没有多少利润。”

  “当初合作时华为想借合资公司进入海外市场,现在发现用处不大,并且目前华为自己的 海外市场渠道也很健全。”绎明宇表示,“华为该学到的已学到,退出H3C不会伤筋动骨。华为3G技术市场成熟,不需要3COM协助,不会把3COM看得那 么高了。”当时,华为和思科的官司尚未和解,技术、渠道都受限。

My interest in trying to estimate how much 3Com, the 49% H3C owner, is worth. Huawei is trying to sell its 51% stake for $1 to 1.5 billion according to the article above. 3Com has $900+ M in cash and apparently no debt (the debt number is "N/A" at Yahoo Finance and 0.0 at MSN Money).

3Com's market cap today? $1.86 billion. If the debt number holds, the math is simple.

In other telecom news, ZTE reported its quarterly earning today. I have not been following ZTE, but the key earning data and the comparisons with data a year ago are listed below:

I am not going to comment on the results since I have done little research on the company. Its stock (000063.sz) gained over 4% at the time of writing on the news. The current trend is up.
