Given the current operational performance, the potential to free up large sums of cash and the absence of larger acquisition opportunities, I expect Philips may engage in further share buybacks or pay out higher dividends in 2006. |
KPN is doing a lot at the fixed unit with cost cuts and introducing new services, the question is whether it's enough in this market. |
Philips earnings are solid, but unexciting. Revenues were strong across the board, and as far as the outlook is concerned, Philips essentially confirmed what was already expected. |
The price seems on the high side, especially when taking the growth of this company into account. |
