"When in panic or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" ;-)
Please ignore the alarmist Nikkei article - FTR Ricoh had to officially deny 2 such "news", the one about closing down the camera business (denied) and one about selling the leasing and semiconductor businesses (not sure it means they won't sell those, or they didn't decide if to sell or not). Information can be found directly on Ricoh's site: http://www.ricoh.com/IR/data/pre/pdf/h29q4_qa.pdf http://www.ricoh.com/IR/pdf/presentation_text_2017.pdf So, things are not rosy mostly due to their core copier business, and they're reacting to prevent making a loss in FY2019. Ricoh Imaging isn't doing that bad with the Theta and K-1.
