Lenovo's Revenue Beats Estimates as PC Arm Shows Signs of Life

Lenovo Group Ltd. posted its fastest pace of revenue growth in more than two years by pushing higher-priced computers and expanding its datacenter business in a stabilizing PC market. The world’s second-largest PC vendor reported a 69 percent plunge in net income to $33 million in the three months ended March as it grappled with rising expenses. Lenovo, which became the world’s worst performing technology stock as its smartphones struggle for relevance and it loses ground to rivals such as HP Inc., has focused on burnishing the premium veneer of its bread-and-butter PCs while moving more deeply into the lucrative gaming segment.
