In this episode I discuss OKI and why based on their numbers I can see them exiting all print! They started with transferring their Thailand print manufacturing business to ETRIA. OKI has many deliverables past print they could focus on and grow. Being as small as OKI is, I don't see them growing a print business in a massively declining industry.
Why does Ricoh perform so terribly especially in their Digital Services Business unit? The first 9 months of FY 24 the Digital Services business unit produced Over 9 Billion dollars in revenues with an operating profit of less than one percent! This happens nearly every quarter. Ricoh is proving to the world that they can not delver offices services profitable! I ask, WHY? Another question is, Do they even care? It really seems they don't!
In this episode I discuss OKI joining ETRIA, Now Ricoh, Toshiba-Tec and OKI. Is OKI just preparing to sell off its print business? I believe yes! I also discuss the other industry actors and their potential alignments!
