I'm still thinking they only sold off the Lighting branch when they did, because the Medical branch was unsellable at the moment (the CEO had to take over, things went wrong in the US, as they do). Main goal seems still to sell everything, which is not a healthy long term corporate goal but seems a good idea for stock investors and company executives.

Well, selling off viable business sectors is a marketing error.
