HP shares slip in premarket as cautious outlook weighs on sentimentFebruary 25, 2026 5:28 AM
IH Market News
Shares of HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ) declined in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday after the company reiterated its full-year profit guidance but indicated results are likely to land near the lower end of its projected range.The printer and PC manufacturer reported earnings at a time when tightening global supplies of memory chips have increased cost pressures for hardware makers such as HP. Prices for NAND and DRAM flash memory — the two key storage technologies used in modern electronics — have more than doubled over the past six months, according to Morgan Stanley.The results also mark the company’s first update since announcing a “company-wide initiative” focused on expanding artificial intelligence adoption, a programme that includes plans to reduce its workforce by between 4,000 and 6,000 employees.HP posted fiscal first-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.81 per share on revenue of $14.44 billion, outperforming analyst expectations of $0.76 per share on $13.87 billion in revenue.Revenue from the personal systems division, which includes PCs, reached $10.25 billion, representing an 11% year-on-year increase. Unit shipments rose 12% amid improving conditions in the global PC market. Data from Gartner showed worldwide PC shipments increasing 9.3% during the October–December period, with HP retaining the second-largest global market share.The company’s printing business generated $4.19 billion in revenue, down 2% from the prior year.“We are pleased to report a strong first quarter, highlighted by robust growth in Personal Systems, including the continued momentum in AI PCs,” interim chief executive Bruce Broussard said in a statement. Broussard assumed the interim CEO role earlier in February, replacing Enrique Lores, who departed HP to lead PayPal.Looking ahead, HP reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share forecast of $2.90 to $3.00. However, the midpoint of its fiscal second-quarter adjusted EPS guidance — a range of $0.70 to $0.76 — came in below Wall Street expectations of $0.74.“With just one quarter behind us in a dynamic environment marked by increasing memory costs, we are holding our outlook for the year yet currently anticipate results to be closer to the low end of our range,” finance chief Karen Parkhill said. “We are well practiced at managing through headwinds and remain focused on executing our mitigation plans,” she added.In a research note, analysts at BofA Securities, including Wamsi Mohan, warned that rising memory chip costs could place downward pressure on HP’s fiscal 2026 outlook as the year progresses.HP stock price

$SDC partnership with $HPQ

So if HP (HPQ) is acquired by xerox, what will happen op HPE shares?
I haven’t followed long enough to know... is it like alt coins to bitcoin (when bitcoin goes up, alt coins generally do too) and like silver/gold (when gold goes up so does silver almost always)?

Or are they such completely separate entities that an HPQ acquisition by xerox would likely not effect HPE shares?

Good questions...
https://www.forbes.com/sites/johndorfman/2020/02/03/hp-progressive-value-momentum/#41483d1546c1
In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Co. split into Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) and HP (HPQ). The former, which provides software and services to large companies, is generally considered the sexy half. HP, which makes personal computers, printers and ink cartridges, is deemed dull.

But HP hasn’t been dull lately. Its stock is up 18% in the past three months. Despite the run-up, HP shares sell for only 10 times earnings, in a market where the average multiple is 26. It’s hard for me to love a company whose book value (corporate net worth) is negative. At HP, liabilities exceed assets by $1.19 billion, or 81 cents a share. Excluding intangibles such as goodwill, book value is negative $5.55 a share.

So, I don’t love this stock—but I like it, and not only because of the modest valuation. The company has been whittling down its debt. It pays dividends reliably, and currently offers a dividend yield near 3%.

Carl Icahn, a major shareholder, is agitating for a merger with Xerox, of which he is an even larger shareholder. He estimates the potential cost savings from a merger at $2 billion.

HPE vs HPQ - Xerox Acquisition

I’m new to this company... Xerox is trying to acquire HPQ not HPE correct?

If that’s the case, how will HPE stock be affected (if at all) by an HPQ acquisition?
Does HPE and HPQ stocks affect each other generally?

I think they're doing fine right now

HP Yet Again Rejects Xerox Takeover Offer -- Barrons.com
10:10 AM ET 1/9/20 | Dow Jones


By Eric J. Savitz

HP Inc. once again has rejected the $22-a-share unsolicited takeover bid from Xerox Holdings as too low.

Earlier this week, Xerox (ticker: XRX) announced that it has lined up financing for the cash portion of its offer for the rival printer company, which consists of $17 a share and the remainder in Xerox shares. But HP (HPQ) on Wednesday said its board continues to find the Xerox bid inadequate.

"We reiterate that the HP Board of Directors' focus is on driving sustainable long-term value for HP shareholders," HP CEO Enrique Lores and Chairman Chip Bergh wrote Wednesday in a letter to Xerox CEO John Visentin. "Your letter dated January 6, 2020 regarding financing does not address the key issue -- that Xerox's proposal significantly undervalues HP -- and is not a basis for discussion. The HP Board of Directors remains committed to advancing the best interests of all HP shareholders and to pursuing the most value-creating opportunities."

Xerox initially made the offer to HP in November, and HP has repeatedly rejected it as both too low and too risky given the substantial borrowings Xerox would require to complete the proposed transaction.

The question for Xerox is whether it is prepared to launch a proxy contest for control of the HP board ahead -- or to launch a hostile tender offer.

HP shares were up 0.6% in recent trading, at $21.06, after closing up 1.3% on Wednesday. The S&P 500 was up 0.5% in recent trading.

$HPQ short squeeze Hp Inc Nyse Hpq Short Squeeze

Carl Icahn Bought HP Stake Knowing of Xerox Bid Plans, Fund Says
Bloomberg

Chris Dolmetsch,Bloomberg•December 14, 2019

(Bloomberg) -- A Xerox Holdings Corp. shareholder sued Carl Icahn and an investment vehicle he controls, alleging they bought $1.2 billion worth of HP Inc. shares knowing that Xerox was considering acquiring the stock at a premium.

The Miami Firefighters Relief and Pension Fund filed the lawsuit in New York state court in Manhattan on Friday, alleging Icahn, Icahn Capital LP and High River Limited Partnership breached their fiduciary duties to Xerox by buying HP stock with the knowledge that “Xerox was either considering making an offer to purchase HP, had already approached HP about a possible merger into or acquisition by Xerox, or of the obvious merits of Xerox’s potential acquisition of HP.”

A representative for Icahn was not immediately available for comment.

Icahn Capital is Xerox’s largest shareholder, owning almost 11% of the stock as of September 30. Icahn late that month disclosed that Icahn Capital and High River together owned more than 62.9 million shares of HP, making Icahn the fifth-largest shareholder in the company.

A previous disclosure by Icahn in August listed no HP stock as of June 30. While the date of Icahn’s purchases were not revealed, an analyst speculated two days after the end of the third quarter that an activist investor might be targeting HP shares citing reasons including a “huge spike” in trading volume without an obvious reason, according to the suit.

HP last month rejected an unsolicited, cash-and-stock offer from Xerox worth $22 per share, or about $33 billion. Icahn earlier this month urged HP to push ahead with takeover talks, arguing the hardware maker’s standalone plans amount “to little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.” Xerox has taken its case directly to shareholders, saying the takeover would create as much as $1.5 billion in potential revenue growth, according a presentation to investors made public earlier this week.

? Anyone feel HPQ would do well to move into 3-D Bio printers business?
Its going to be major play for health systems and care in 1st and 2st tier
econ-social growth markets.

Nice TA displayed, thanks.
LT HPQ should be fine, as its expands cooperation with partners technical staff on 3-D printing projects, via its now open huge world-class tech hub in Spain. Plus . . . now working actively with Xerox to jointly boost sales.

IF Mid-East situation heats up . . . HPQ will be called on to help produce super-defense tech . . . think 3-D printed weapon systems.

Maybe some more down stock price coming . . . but will most likely be just short-term bottoming behavior . . . as why should stock price drop drastically below 52 week low and stay there?
I foresee really great contract sales in next couple of years.

HPQ now working with present and future customers to develop security SW built-into its machines + data clouding . . . if security SW chip is Read-Only . . . it will be great step to preventing hacking?

Dawning trend is for HPQ with its big $$s and staffing to be major leader in 3-D printing . . . and one gets the dividend too.

HP Inc $HPQ Slammed: Here Is The Quick Swing Trade

Shares of HP Inc (HPQ) tumbled almost 20% on the back of weak sales numbers. The stock is trading at $19.40 on its way to a double bottom on the daily chart. Based on technical analysis, HP Inc will likely cross briefly below $19.00 before staging a technical bounce. This is a quick swing trade, likely playing out in a day or two once the target buy level is achieved. Upside could be as high as $20 but once in-the-money by $0.40, use a trailing stop until $20.00 is hit.
