Btw, fun fact - Hanwha owns 32.4% of Techwin but controls Techwin.
The Chinese government 'only' owns 42% of Hikvision and, yes, they control Hikvision.

May 02, 2017Just for clarity for others. Elliot Management refers to the hedge fund that bought a minority (~11%) of Axis stock ~2 years ago when Canon acquired Axis. At that time, Canon 'only' had 84% of the shares.
Canon absolutely 'owns' Axis but Axis has not been formally delisted from the stock exchange and, as a benefit to the industry, Axis financials are still public.

May 03, 2017Unlike Axis, Techwin/HIK are listed on public stock market, it's common that a major shareholder only takes 30~40%.

May 02, 2017Security business will not be spun off anytime soon due to the operating cost. If the security business unit became its own entity, it will not be able to absorb all the cost of operating and keep its head above the water and with all the new technology that is comeing out from security industry in terms of robotics and AI, mothership should keep it close to styay close to the technology trend.

May 02, 2017If they do spin off the security business, may I recommend dropping the Techwin name and going with Hanwha Wisenet.
Of course, the best would be dropping the Hanwha name as well but I don't think that's an option.
