- According to the report, Jakobs added that he “hopes and expects” to settle with the U.S. FDA this year.
- A settlement with patients who claim the use of the recalled machines made them sick probably will take longer, Jakobs added.
- Concerns of hefty litigation bills have since reduced Philips’ market value by 70%, added the report.
- Price Action: PHG shares are trading higher by 6.22% at $17.94 premarket on Thursday.
