A better question is do they have any business left other than healthcare? I think they sold off everything else. Every other Philips product you still see is a licensing deal or a company that was spun out. Lighting is Signify, the televisions are TCL and so on.


Yep, that's the pattern. Anything that's successful they spin out almost by default. That makes Philips the company look not so great, but if you merge back in everything that's been spun out they're not doing so bad.
