Sharp is reportedly considering a bid to purchase Toshiba’s money-losing personal computer business, aiming to get back into the PC market with help from Apple assembler and Taiwanese parent Foxconn.
“Toshiba, which says it expects PC losses to deepen in fiscal 2017, has been considering jettisoning the business even while working to turn it around. Toshiba entered into talks last year on a sale to Taiwan’s Asustek Computer, but a deal failed to materialize.”
