Lenovo, a unit of Legend Holdings, said U.S. corporate tax cuts would “positively impact” future earnings of its U.S. operations in the long-term. Lenovo will announce third-quarter results on Feb. 1. Tax reforms signed into law in December lower the income tax rate for U.S. companies to 21 percent from 35 percent.
