Adam,
It is a bit of an extreme statement, but Kodak has but a few years of life
left unless someone buys them.  Their bet on the inkjet business has
flopped, they sold off the medical imaging business, and their dye-sub kiosk
business is not too healthy.  So, they have the residual cash cow of film,
paper, and chemistry, and a lot of truly outstanding intellectual property
that would be of value to a properly run company.  Otherwise it is the
annual downsizing  report as another 5,000 to 30,000 employees get the axe
so that they can be profitable.
