Could Nikon be shutting down?

In 2014 they were worth roughly $452,720,220, in 2015: $456,823,700. Time to close up shop!

What's worse, is that I read that the Sun is going to explode and engulf the Earth !!

Won't hurt me.
I have all the Nikon camera bodies I need - for the rest of my life.

Either way, there will be used Nikon DSLRs available for years, and years, and years to come.

Whoever wrote that article is clueless.
The Sun doesn't have enough mass to explode.

In a few billion years the Sun will start getting bigger and become a red giant. At it's biggest the Sun's atmosphere might get out here to Earth's orbit. Maybe it won't.
Eventually most of the Sun's atmosphere will be driven away by it's solar wind and the Sun will end it's active life as a very slowly cooling White Dwarf.
The Sun's driven away solar atmosphere will become a planetary nebula as seen for outside the solar system. Planetary nebula are like fingerprints - no 2 are alike.

Hey
This thread isn't about the truth and accuracy.
It's about creating chaos and panic!
Because of that the sun is going to explode just like Nikon is suddenly going to close their doors tomorrow!!

such generousity.
But I'll take them as since there will be no more I should be able to auction them for a bunch of money based on no more supply.

I keep hearing about the possibility of Nikon closing its doors. The company has been getting pretty bad rep from what I've heard. Now with the earthquake stopping a good portion of their production and Nikon shutting down their popular rebates. DSLRs are not selling as well anymore and people leaving the brand for Sony and other mirrorless camera systems just because the cameras are smaller, lighter and "innovated".

With all the recent issues Nikon has been having with their cameras, I almost believe that Nikon will shut down in the near future..maybe tomorrow, but not today.

This certainly isn't the first time I have heard the Nikon shutting down rumor, how many times has the company been accused of shutting down? Every time Nikon releases their quarterly reports, the rumors of the company shutting down start floating.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Nikon will be closing its doors in the near future?

Don't hate me, I just did this to start a discussion.

Nikon do allot more then just cameras

In answer to the OP, yes, it could be shutting down.
That's true of every company and every government on the planet.
If the question is, 'is it likely to happen?' the answer has to be no.
Is it more likely that the poster will be in an auto accident than Nikon shutting down this year, unfortunately, and statistically, yeah.
You are probably more likely to be hurt or killed taking a selfie than to see Nikon shut down this year too...

Well this is no good news.

Nikon has started massive cost cutting measures all over the world | Nikon Rumors

This is great news, anytime a bloated overgrown company comes to it's senses and cuts back on unneeded costs, it's a good thing for investors and for the company, and ultimately for the customers.

Hmm, didn't think about it that way. I suppose cutting costs doesn't mean the company is shutting down.

In fact, it usually means the opposite, when a company starts doing crazy spending on tons of new things, it means they are struggling to fix what is broken but don't know why it broke so they throw money at it, then close down the following year.
