Samsung It is not going through its best moment, after some notorious failures such as the launch and subsequent withdrawal from the market of the Galaxy Note 7. To improve the situation for weeks, I have been hearing about the possibility that the South Korean company is divided into two different companies ( a holding company on the one hand and an operating company on the other), with the aim of increasing the total value.
What until recently was a rumor, it seems that it is taking shape and is that Samsung has officially announced that has hired external staff to analyze the current situation and choose the best corporate structure. We could say briefly that Samsung is preparing its division into two different companies.
“We are committed to enhancing long-term sustainable value for our shareholders and to remaining good stewards of capital. Today's announcements extend the actions we initiated last year and represent the next phase in the evolution of our governance and shareholder policy. "
These words bear the signature of Dr. Oh-Hyun Kwon, Vice Chairman and CEO of Samsung Electronics which has also announced that this process of analysis of the situation will last 6 months, once it is finished, make a decision on the matter.
For now we have to wait to see where Samsung is heading in the near future, but everything suggests that it will try to increase its current value, dividing itself into two different companies, although we imagine that without losing its essential at any time.
Do you think Samsung will finally make the decision to split into two independent, but closely linked companies?.
