China's Huawei slows its long decline under U.S. sanctions as revenues improve
The HinduChina's Huawei Technologies reported modest revenue growth for a second quarter on Thursday, citing steady growth in its ICT infrastructure business as it finds its footing after U.S. sanctions knocked its once mighty handset business. Huawei posted revenue of 445.8 billion yuan for the first three quarters, 10 billion yuan less than it saw in the same period a year earlier, the company said on Thursday. Profits fell 42.45% in the same period to 26.75 billion yuan, based on Reuters calculations, a drop a company spokesperson attributed to investment in research and development and new business areas. In its first nine months the Aito M5 vehicle, which Huawei jointly developed with Seres, ranked 10th among all-electric SUV models by sales in China, according to the China Passenger Car Association.
