Robust computer sales helped Lenovo more than triple its quarterly profits, providing a silver lining for China's under-fire technology sector. The Beijing-based company said Thursday that profits attributable to equity holders surged to $118m in the three months to March, compared to just $33m in the year ago period. Fourth quarter profits were also ahead of the $106m figure forecast by analysts polled by Bloomberg. Quarterly revenues of $11.7bn were 10 percent higher year-on-year and a touch above analyst estimates of 11.6 bn. (Lenovo Q4 profit jumps on strong PC sales, Financial Times)
