China’s Lenovo shrugs off concerns that global PC market is shrinking
China’s Lenovo Group, the world’s largest PC maker, has reported a third consecutive quarter of declining revenues as global demand for personal computers continues to slump. However, CFO Wong Wai-Ming remains optimistic, stating that the company is number one in the PC market, and will “definitely be growing” when the market returns to more normal conditions. In its latest earnings report, Lenovo said it expects the PC market to return to growth in the second half of 2023.
