HP reports $8.9B Q3 loss on writedowns, weak sales, lowers full-year forecast

22.08.2012
The story "HP reports $8.9B Q3 loss on writedowns, weak sales, lowers full-year forecast," posted to the wire on Wednesday, contained an unclear description of a drop in HP's PC and notebook sales in the seventh paragraph.

The sales drop refers to unit sales.

The paragraph has been corrected and now reads:

"Personal Systems Group revenue in the quarter fell 10 percent to $8.6 billion, with a 12 percent drop in consumer spending and a 9 percent fall in commercial purchases. Within the segment, desktop units fell 6 percent and notebook units dropped 12 percent."
