I'm not completely convinced.

Let's be honest, the growth for a manufacturer is not going to come from selling 45 ppm machines for $4,000 that the previous generation sold for $12,000.

The growth comes in MPS, more specifically Sharp selling the services (it doesn't benefit them if a dealer put together a deal w/ Innovera consumables and LMS or Barrister on the break/fix).

For Sharp to experience topline growth, they need to invest far more than they have been willing to in direct branches.

If they are not making that investment, the end result is eventually getting out.
