2014-10-06 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) HP has plans to split the company into two, separating its personal-computer and printer businesses from its corporate hardware and services operations, The Wall Street Journal reported. The company intends to announce the move on Monday, people familiar with the plan said. It is expected to make the split through a tax-free distribution of shares to stockholders next year, said one of the people. The division would create two publicly traded companies, each with more than USD 50 billion in annual revenue. HPsees better long-term potential for its corporate hardware and services business than for its printer and PC unit, said one person familiar with the plan. Talks between HP and EMC have recently ended but the separation could pave the way for HP's corporate hardware and services business to ultimately be combined with EMC, industry observers said.
