      Will Acquisition By Philips Save Volcano Corp.?

      In late September, a group of Volcano Corp. shareholders castigated the company’s management and demanded Volcano bring its financials in-line by reigniting growth, streamlining costs, and bringing the business closer to profitability. The message must have gotten through loud and clear, as Volcano’s management may be positioned to accomplish all three goals by selling the company to Royal Philips for $1.2 billion. Indeed, in the eyes of some, Volcano management may have taken the company’s intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) systems as far as it could as an independent entity. In 2013, Volcano ...

      Zeiss Meditec sales hit by currency fluctuations

      Shares in Carl Zeiss Meditec , the clinical wing of the optics and microscopy giant, dropped in value by around 6 per cent on the Frankfurt stock exchange after the company just missed its annual sales target. For the year ending September 30, the Germany-headquartered firm delivered revenues of €909 million. That was up very slightly on the figure of €906 million for the previous year, but below the range of €910 million to €940 million estimated back in May – something blamed largely on currency effects. CEO Ludwin Monz said of the result: “In spite of adverse currency trends and to ...
