Huawei stabilizes as sanctions impact wanes
The company has been developing its cloud computing, networking equipment and its investments in electric vehicles
Business at Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies has reached a new normal as the sales decline following the imposition of U.S. sanctions leveling off.
The company estimated on Friday that its 2022 sales increased fractionally.
Revenue for the year is expected to be $91.53 billion, according to the company.
That is a small increase over 2021 when sales tumbled 30% year-over-year as U.S. sanctions on the company took effect.

That revenue number is a far cry from the company's record $122 billion in 2019 when the company was the top Android smartphone vendor globally.
In 2019, the U.S. Trump administration imposed a trade ban on Huawei, citing national security concerns.
