It will all be about energy savings. The incandescent bulb is going by the wayside.

Royal Philips Electronics (PHG) sells its famous brand of light bulbs and medical technology in mature and emerging markets. Philips relies on high-volume sales for profit and its quarterly sales have been declining (likely due to the recession). A re-structuring plan aims to lower costs. PHG is a dividend- and value stock. Its share prices are rising with those of competitors.

overvalued by several measures. The growth of certain parts of this company will not compensate for this cash bleeding, bloated company with over 200K employees. div will be cut

I'd love to say "this is a strait shooter with upper management written all over him" but that would be disingenuous. I do however think they make solid to exceptional products, especially health care products (my business) and are generally able to charge a high premium for those products. Currently this stock is way undervalued, and a steal even for a few percentage points.

Fortune 40

Unlike the oil industry's ExxonMobil, this company has had the forsight to recognize it's chief product is doomed and has bought Color Kinetics to replace the incadescent light bulb with not compact flourescent, but with LED's. This powerhouse will dominate this market beyond belief.

Will definitely be a leader in LED lighting which will be the new way we light our offices and homes in ten years. Look where incandescents have gone, and will be followed by compact fluorescents when this technology comes on.

This rating is simply based on the fact that Philips products fail to impress. Plenty of consumer complaints can be seen online about their products and customer service. Their quality hasn't been great. Recently saw their spotlight specs, i was just appalled and rotfl. If their mgmt can release products with such poor specs in market, no wonder they can't make money.

Looking for a play on eBook Readers that doesn't tie me to Amazon. Amazon seems like a good play, but pricey and I can't convince myself it's going to be a multi-bagger over the next couple years. Phillips seems to be poised to take benefit from it's LCD technology going forward with small content readers as well as it's investment in eInk. Plus, it's trading at such a low P/E that it seems a good value play as well.

EMA Cross

Vastly undervalued right now, when the market recovers, Phillips will recover. Will be a leader supplying high efficiency LEDs and new state-of-the-art medical equipment

cash

New medical products to be released soon

PHG best of breed cleans the GE clock with high tech everything. I little too much exposure to consumer goods but I"m in.
Oh ya Obama proof too!

Philips Electronics at $17 is a good value, if you bought the company and sold its parts, the stock is worth considerably more than $17. PHG is moving aggressively into LED lighting products, playing off of the energy savings craze throughout the world. With the aging of the industrialized world's population, PHG's medical products will also provide solid growth in the near future. The only segment of their business that is troublesome is consumer electronics.
