Recent HTC financial results show that HTC continues to struggle to remain relevant in today s highly competitive smartphone world. A recent statement made by Asustek Chairman Johnny Shih at its recent annual general meeting shows there is some interest in acquiring its fellow Taiwanese company.
There have been rumors, and possibly hopeful desires, of HTC purchases in the past. There was reported interest from Microsoft, Lenovo, Facebook, and others. While HTC remains independent it may not be able to continue in this manner forever so an acquisition seems a likely future scenario.

Taiwan s Asustek says has not ruled out possibility of buying HTC
Taiwan s Asustek Computer Inc said on Friday it has not ruled out the possibility of acquiring struggling smartphone maker HTC Corp.
Chairman Johnny Shih of Asustek, one of the world s biggest makers of laptop personal computers and smartphones, made the comment in response to questions raised at its annual general meeting, Chief Financial Officer David Chang told Reuters.
"Our chairman has chatted about the topic internally," said Chang. "Still, the chances of an actual takeover are not big as Asustek is a company that has depended on organic growth."
HTC shares plunged 20 percent on Monday and Tuesday combined after the company forecast a steep loss for the June quarter, prompting speculation that the company could be acquired.
