So it isn’t chaos at Siemens. Or so says Joe Kaeser, long-time finance director at the German behemoth who was promoted to chief executive yesterday. Investors, watching ugly internal ructions as predecessor Peter Löscher fought for his job following last week’s profit warning, might have differed. Still, a measure of calm has now descended with Mr Löscher’s departure, three years before his contract expired. And Siemens’ shares have weathered the storm with a 2 per cent fall, to €82.
西门子(Siemens)并未陷入混乱——起码这家德国大企业昨日新上任的CEO乔•凯瑟尔(Joe Kaeser)是这么说的,他此前长期担任西门子首席财务官。但投资者或许不这么看。上周西门子发布盈利预警之后,当时的CEO罗旭德(Peter Löscher)为保住职位而战,这场不祥的内部骚动没有逃脱投资者的眼睛。不过,随着罗旭德提前卸任(他的合同还有三年才到期),西门子已大体上平静下来。西门子挺过了这场风暴,股价仅下跌2%,目前报每股82欧元。
