Kodak excutives make case for higher valuation

Article Abstract:

Eastman Kodak Co executives provided a different picture of the growing importance of digital imaging than had been revealed in the past. The company's CEO and chairman Dan Carp claimed that many of Eastman Kodak's future earning projections were based on peak economic performance and that it would likely grow at 5 to 7% per year, after the current economic downturn subsides. As an example of the renewed vitality within the company, Carp noted that most of its top management team have joined the company since 1996. Carp described Kodak as a company in transition, migrating between a consumables, silver-halide base to a larger digital services-based company.
