华尔街日报(WSJ)引述知情消息人士报导,电器和电子产品零售商百思买  正考虑出售中国业务或寻求合作,以便更好聚焦于美国业务。

报导称,百思买的中国业务估值可能约为3亿美元。公司目前正与美银美林 一道,考虑各种选择方案并对海外资产组合进行评估。百思买在美国、加拿大、中国和墨西哥开设有门店。

“我们不会对有关公司业务的猜测或者传言发表评论,”百思买发言人Amy von Walter对路透表示。

百思买是全球最大消费电子产品连锁零售商,2006年进入中国,但未能抵御住苏宁 和国美 等本土对手的竞争,未能在竞争剧烈的市场中闯出一片自己的天地。

撤出中国可能会让百思买无法分享这一全球最佳成长机遇,但该公司将得以聚焦于美国,投资者一直希望如此。

此举还可以让百思买获得更多现金,投资于成长前景更好的业务如移动设备和电子商务。
