So it isn’t chaos at Siemens. Or so says Joe Kaeser, long-time finance director at the German behemoth who was promoted to chief executive yesterday. Investors, watching ugly internal ructions as predecessor Peter Löscher fought for his job following last week’s profit warning, might have differed. Still, a measure of calm has now descended with Mr Löscher’s departure, three years before his contract expired. And Siemens’ shares have weathered the storm with a 2 per cent fall, to €82.
西門子(Siemens)並未陷入混亂——起碼這家德國大企業昨日新上任的CEO喬•凱瑟爾(Joe Kaeser)是這麼說的,他先前長期擔任西門子財務長。但投資者或許不這麼看。上週西門子發佈盈利預警之後,當時的CEO羅旭德(Peter Löscher)爲保住職位而戰,這場不祥的內部騷動沒有逃脫投資者的眼睛。不過,隨著羅旭德提前卸任(他的合同還有三年纔到期),西門子已大體上平靜下來。西門子挺過了這場風暴,股價僅下跌2%,目前報每股82歐元。
