Quanta''s margins slip 30 percent
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
September 3rd 2002
The PowerBook and iMac maker has cut prices to remain competitive
According to Digitimes the maker of Apple''s LCD iMacs saw margins plummet by 30
percent in the first of this year from 13.48 to 9.3 percent. The decline is largely
attributed to the company''s efforts to drive volume and also to lackluster sales of
"high margin" products like the iMac.
Sources in Taiwan quoted by the digital daily say it�s not surprising that Analysis:
This news isn''t surprising as the first-tier PC makers, which Quanta is highly
dependent, are also suffering. Further, widespread industry consolidation has reduced
both the number of companies bidding for OEM orders and those placing them.
