Kodak sells X-ray business
The American company Kodak is selling its X-ray business from its Kodak Health Group for about 2.5 billion dollars, in order to concentrate on its core business in digital photography. I just don’t understand this decision, as the X-ray business is profitable and the margins are narrowing in digital photography. So Kodak will suffer not only from falling margins in the shrinking market for analogue photography, but even in the digital market segment profits will be difficult to maintain. I think it will be even harder to raise profits in this segment. The fall in prices will be accelerated by a general saturation of the market.
