Could be good or bad depending on the buyer and seems like if they're offering a majority stake, they're hoping a strategic buyer will swoop in and pay a premium.
I'd say the Hasselblad x DJI collaboration turned out to be a net positive for Hasselblad and consumers - hopefully that's the case with this one as well.
Its not majority stake. Black rock only owns 45% stake. Dr. Kaufmann owns the majority stake (55%)
Dr Kaufman is said to be participating in the sale. So, it is a majority stake that is being offered. The statement said that the Kaufmann family may re-invest in Leica after the sale. I believe that implies that 100% of the company is on the table, subject to negotiations.
