Venture Corp set to benefit from Hewlett Packard split

HP has room for growth in emerging markets.

Mainboard-listed Venture Corporation is set to benefit from Hewlett Packard’s decision to split into two publicly traded companies.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Venture supplies HP with enterprise printers that are sold to large corporations and SMEs in Singapore, and accounts for 5-6% of Venture’s revenue.

“The split may be good for HP, and by extension, Venture, as it could potentially improve HP’s nimbleness. Printer cartridges generate a lot of cash. Historically, this cash was used by HP for acquisitions unrelated to its printer/PC business. The new standalone company should be able to keep this cash for acquisitions to benefit its printer/PC business directly, which still has room for growth in emerging markets. HP's printer/PC revenue actually grew by 2% in the last 12 months, in contrast to a 4% drop by its enterprise business,” stated Maybank Kim Eng.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
