Summary

Panasonic Holdings has decided to scrap its plan to sell two video-related businesses to Orix.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that Panasonic’s plan to sell its video business has been scrapped! That’s huge, right?
Log: Yeah, it seems the concerns about difficulties in supplying parts were significant. Their sales are also declining.
Chako: Right, when sales drop, you have to reconsider your plans!
Navi: The decision to withdraw the plan is likely a result of considering the sustainability of the business. The issues with parts supply can greatly impact operations, so careful judgment is necessary.
Log: True, I’m really curious about what their future business strategy will be.

Admin’s Note

The recent decision by Panasonic to completely withdraw its plan to sell its imaging business could have significant implications for the entire industry. It was surprising to see how much of a factor supply chain issues have become. We are now in an era where companies are being challenged on how flexibly they can respond to the obstacles they face. I want to keep an eye on Panasonic’s future strategy. Additionally, as Chako mentioned, the decline in sales having a direct impact is also an important point. I will be watching future developments closely.
