14 DAY TRIAL // Sequential shipment and revenue declines do well enough in showing how fast things are spiraling downwards on the PC market, but that's nothing next to a comparison to a previous year.
Acer's December revenues show this. The 7.67% sequential shipment decline in revenues doesn't look good, but it's a small figure compared to the on-year change.
Long story short, revenues were 22.02% lower than those in December 2012.
And considering that Acer, last year, was already sliding down a slippery slope, the news is not good at all.
It makes me understand better why Acer would be merging its PC and R&D business units.
For those who want the numbers, the revenue was of NT$28.385 billion / US$946 million / €690 million in December.
Also, for the whole third quarter of 2013, it was of NT$86.7 / $2.86 billion / €2.09 billion, which was 5.95% lower sequentially and 16.16% lower on year.
