I believe that Phillips (Koninklijke Philips NV (ADR)) is better off in the future than Sony. Phillips is a dutch technology company located in Amsterdam. They have a bright future and plans to expand their company. They have recently split into two companies to increase revenue. Phillips’ beta is 1.69, compared to Sony’s 1.72. Although this may not sound like a lot, the stock can fluctuate more than you think. Sony is projected to go down in the future and their current sales are decreasing. Although you might think that Sony’s stock is better, they seem to do well when they come out with new game consoles. It has been two years (since november 2013) since they came out with a new console.I recommend investing in phillips as a long term stock. Although Sony is more well known and has more advertisements. It is a better business and electronic store than it is a stock. One should not be fooled by this because there is a large difference. Over the past five years, Phillips stock has only gone down 9.17%. This is much better compared to Sony's stock which has gone down 26.88%.

Phillips will take a $340 million hit due to the delay in producing the CT Scanners. Phillips ran into many problems when trying to manufacture these scanners that it cost them $246,656,250.00 in USD. This wasn't good for their company because it delayed their earnings which made them behind their predicted estimates. Phillips 2014 earning were crucially damaged because of the way their money taken. They had to first pay interst, tax, and amortization.

Phillips plans to split into two companies: Health-tech (health care and consumer lifestyle operations) and their lighting business would move to a different location. Companies that sell Phillips brand items, are projected to have good long term growth. This split ends the Dutch conglomerate. the split will save Phillips $129.5 million in 2015. This is a good outlook for Phillips because they'll be saving money and also be making more money.

I would invest in Amazon because they have more services and deals compared to ebay, they offer more for your money. They also have more room to grow compared to ebay when it comes to customers and services. The stock is increasing and will continue to go up according to trends in the past year the stock has increased by 117.93% compared to eBay who has only increased by 25.92% showing there has not been a growth in the stock. I choose to purchase this stock because the stock price in the past month has increased from $655.49 to $669.83. Amazon’s growth might be due to the increase in services they have provided in the past years. Amazon has also started to expand into China and partner with Chinese vendors on lending inventory and expanding service (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/amazon-fire-tablet-china/). Amazon is doing 15.51% better than the S&P over the past year. They have launched amazon prime and have become one of the largest retailers during the holidays. Even though the p/e ratio is 938.86 which is very high, amazon’s lowest stock price for amazon is $306.64 and the highest stock price is $669.83 for the past year. Amazon was 117% over the market for the past year. Amazon's revenue has increased by 15% compared to the last yearly report which was at 14% in 2014. Amazon is the leading web service and had grown by 50% in the past quarter and is forecasted to reach $6 billion in 2015.

Sony has sold over 30.2 million PlayStation 4 consoles. This sale is up from 20 million. The PS4 was first introduced in November of 2013. Sales have been improving since then and their selling pace is the fastest its ever been for a console. I believe that SONY will do well in the future due to the fact that they are selling so many consoles so fast. SONY plans to ship more than 17.5 million PlayStation 4 units by the end of the fiscal year. SONY is a strong company and constantly comes out with new electronics.

Nintendo has a wide market of buyers and is very popular among teens and adults. Nintendo just recorded an operating profit for the first half of the fiscal year. Although this unveil might sound like a good idea, Nintendo's sales are projected to slow down such as Sony Corp.'s PS4. Both Nintendo and Sony's stock have been slow and going down for some time. This isn't a good look for Sony's future. Sony usually comes out with a new condole every 2-3 years and if the last consoles are slowing down then it mihgt be some time until they get back up on their feet.

Nintendo to unveil first videogame for smart phone

Nintendo to unveil first videogame for smart phone

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
OSAKA, Japan-- Nintendo Co. is set to unveil its first videogame for smartphones on Thursday, a day after weaker-than-expected financial results underscored the company's need to develop new business to support its struggling console operations.

"We will talk about details tomorrow," Nintendo's new chief executive, Tatsumi Kimishima, said Wednesday.

For the first time in five years, Nintendo reported an operating profit for the first half of its fiscal year, as hit game titles helped sales of its game machines. But the earnings fell short of analyst forecasts, reflecting weakening momentum for the company's Wii U console and 3DS hand-held devices, both of which have been on the market for several years.

For the six months ended in September, Nintendo recorded an operating profit of Yen8.98 billion ($74.6 million), a turnaround from a loss of Yen215 million a year earlier. Analysts had expected an operating profit of Yen14.4 billion. Sales rose to Yen204.2 billion from Yen171.4 billion, but net income fell to Yen11.5 billion from Yen14.3 billion. Last year, Nintendo's net profit was inflated by gains in the dollar.

Analysts say sales of the Nintendo devices could slow further as stronger rivals, such as Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 4, add peripheral tools to lure more users.

"There are tough times ahead for Nintendo, because rivals are already moving on to next-generation technology, such as virtual reality," said Osamu Kamada, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities.

Nintendo, which long resisted using its rich collection of characters for smartphone games, reversed course in March, when it announced a partnership with DeNA Co., a Tokyo-based mobile-game operator. The companies said they would release their first game by the end of this year and five in total by March 2017.

Nintendo has built anticipation for the smartphone game by keeping the identity of the franchise it features secret. Nintendo has scheduled a meeting with investors for Thursday.

Analysts say the new smartphone game business could generate meaningful sales for Nintendo because the company specializes in reaching so-called casual gamers, who have also been attracted to mobile games. The smartphone game market has expanded rapidly, but competition is fierce, with countless games available free of charge.

"One strategy might be to use smartphone games not primarily to earn profits, but to boost awareness of game characters, which could drive sales of console games in the future," said Hiroyasu Eguchi, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Nintendo hasn't given up on the console business and has a next-generation system under development. Mr. Kimishima said Wednesday that he might touch on the project Thursday but wouldn't disclose sensitive details.

Mr. Kimishima said the company would maintain one initiative begun by his predecessor as president, Satoru Iwata, who died in July. The company plans a "Nintendo Direct" online presentation--a traditional way for the company to introduce new products or services--by the end of the year, he said.

 Scanner production delay to hit earnings

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Royal Philips NV's full-year earnings will take a EUR225 million ($340 million) hit from a delay in the production of CT scanners, the Dutch company said Tuesday.

The electronics supplier said it has resumed shipping its Brilliance iCT product from a facility in Cleveland, Ohio, following external certification of its quality management system, but the process took longer than expected. Production at the facility was suspended last March after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about its manufacturing controls.

The delay will reduce 2014 earnings before interest, tax and amortization, or Ebita, by around EUR225 million instead of the previously-estimated EUR180 million, it said.

"Although these delays have impacted our broader healthcare performance, we are very pleased to now build further momentum in delivering strong imaging innovations to our customers," said Chief Executive Officer Frans van Houten.

Ebita will total EUR255 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting legal charges, foreign exchange impacts and "softness in certain markets," as well as the Cleveland production issue, Philips said.

Amazon has started to sell their cheaper tablet in China competing with the top tablet companies. The tablet with come with Baibu apps on it and will promote the tablet in China. Baibu will gain interest as a search engine and Amazon will have more customers in their e-commerce market. The stock price of Amazon will go up because it is selling more tablets to another market and more people will start to purchase the cheaper tablets. People will also start to use Baibu more and the stock price for both Amazon and Baibu will increase.

Amazon announced earlier today plans to launch its inexpensive Fire tablet in China, as it tries to compete against the top tablet makers in the region.

The Fire tablet will come pre-loaded with Baidu apps, including its search engine, video player, and other mobile apps. We suspect that, in return, Baidu will promote the Fire tablet in China, though that was not confirmed in the related press release.

Amazon is promoting English language learning and its large Kindle library as the two main features on the Fire tablet. That might be a tough sell, since Chinese mobile owners tend to enjoy video, gaming, and shopping more than reading. Amazon might also be targeting students and schools with the Fire tablet.

Baidu and Amazon both have something to gain from this launch, if it succeeds. In Baidu's case, it might gain mobile market share for its search engine, which has been losing ground to Qihoo 360 and Shenma. Baidu's video service might also see an increase in popularity, as it fights against Youku Tudou and Sohu for market share.

In Amazon's case, the Fire tablet might draw more customers to its own e-commerce service. Amazon currently sells 1.5-percent of all products sold online in China, while Alibaba sells the vast majority through its Tmall and Taobao services. If Amazon pre-installs Twitch.TV on the Fire tablet, we might also see a rise in Chinese viewership on the streaming service.

The Fire tablet will be available for 500 RMB ($77) in China, a little bit more than its current price in the United States and Europe. That might sound like a good deal, but in China there are plenty of no-brand tablets that cost even less, run Android, and have similar performance.

And as if that wasn't a steep enough hill to climb, Chinese manufacturers Lenovo and Huawei are the two major brands making gains in the tablet market.

In stores sales were down by 1.5% on black Friday, while Amazon was up 36% of all sales on black Friday and cyber Monday. Amazon started to change their mobile sites to be more accessible for customers to shop on mobile devices. Other retailers started to have more deals online and gear towards cyber Monday instead of black Friday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Holiday shopping will never be the same. This past Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend, in-store sales were down 1.5%. However, as terrible as that initially sounds, it may be due to the fact that holiday shopping deals are going on for longer both before and after the Black Friday holiday online. More retailers are dubbing it Cyber-Week making it more convenient for shoppers to get deals on their own terms and making that 1.5% seem a lot less meaningful.

The real story of the season is mobile shopping (up 14.8% over 2014 and accounting for 60% of all online sales), which has come to the holiday shopping season's rescue in a big way. According to the National Retail Federation, 103 million people shopped online with 102 million doing their shopping in brick and mortar stores, pushing total Web-based sales up 21% over the last year.

While one particularly impressive stat shows Amazon ( AMZN) as a clear winner with 36% of all online Black Friday sales, that doesn't necessarily spell disaster for traditional retailer brands. The reasons for Amazon's dominance:

1. Great mobile user experience

2. Huge product selection

3. Trust that has built up over the years

4. Rise of mobile technology and usage

AMZN data by YCharts

Amazon has taught consumers that shopping online through a mobile device is safe and convenient. That same lesson hasn't been lost on big box retailers and marketing agencies; they, too, are learning to cash in through mobile marketing.

Other retailers, like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and even Target, are learning to be big winners online as well. HookLogic, which operates an ad network of online retail sites that claims it reaches more shoppers than Amazon, noted that on Cyber Monday more consumers shopped on major retail sites than ever before. Site traffic and conversions were up six and and nine times, respectively, when compared to the typical daily average.

There has been a clear call for mobile optimization on the part of retailers. Back in April, Google announced it was changing its page ranking system to favor sites that were optimized for mobile. At my digital marketing firm, we were vehemently pushing all clients to improve the mobile user and ecommerce experiences on their sites, and they are definitely waking up to the call.

Sure, Amazon has been showing impressive results, but I wouldn't run to invest, especially with its massive price-to-earnings ratio. Instead, try taking a second look at retailers with an expanding and improving e-commerce presence on mobile devices. Best Buy for example, came in second behind Amazon in overall ecommerce sales over Black Friday weekend, and Wal-Mart which, on the heels of its positive third-quarter earnings, announced plans to spend $1.1 billion next year into expanding its e-commerce and mobile presence in a bid to more directly compete with Amazon.

Phillips Planning to Split into 2 companies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
AMSTERDAM - Philips NV said Tuesday it would split into two new companies and prepare its lighting business for a stand-alone future, marking a new phase in the overhaul of the Dutch conglomerate.

Philips said its health care and consumer-lifestyle operations would be merged into a new company, called HealthTech, and that its lighting business would be moved into a separate legal structure, which could result in a spinoff.

The companies, which will continue to carry the Philips brand, will be better positioned to deliver long-term growth, Philips said in a statement before an analyst conference.

The measures are the latest and most significant step in the company's efforts to streamline its operations and focus on a handful of higher margin activities. It also potentially marks the end of the Dutch groups' days as a conglomerate selling everything from shavers and light bulbs to hospital scanners.

"I do appreciate the magnitude of the decision we are taking, but the time is right to take the next strategic step for Philips, as we continue on our transformation," Chief Executive Frans van Houten said.

The new overhaul should result in 100 million euros ($128.5 million) of cost-savings in 2015 and a further €200 million in 2016, Philips said. The company reiterated its financial targets for 2016.
