TCL Communication sees H1 profit crumble to HKD 11 mln
2016-08-15 10:52:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) TCL Communication Technology, the maker of Alcatel brand phones, saw its net profit plunge to HDK 11 million in the first half of 2016 from HKD 454 million a year ago. Revenues fell 17 percent year-on-year to HKD 10.93 billion, while the company's gross margin improved slightly to 20.4 percent from 19.3. TCL blamed the lower results on the slowdown in the smartphone market, driven by the weak economic climate and intense competition in the Chinese market. Its smartphone sales fell by 12 percent year-on-year to 17.4 million units, and total sales of handsets and other products were down by 2 percent to 33.1 million units.

Grist: Hearing the news that a coal plant, a facility that once belched CO2, mercury, sulphur, nitrogen oxides, and other hazardous chemicals into the air, is shutting down is certainly a cause to celebrate. Seeing it explode in glorious high definition and set to lively classical music is another thing altogether. Duke Energy, the largest electric power holding company in the U.S., released a video this week showing the death of four of its old coal power plants, giving environmentalists an awesome soundtrack...
